Super secluded and a little out of the way--but for the price and the view of the backside of Zion, really such a great retreat. Prepare to drive a bit to get to the park! Super remote, so if you're a stargazer, this'll be perfect for you. I think this has the same vibes as a KOA--but a little more intimate, so if you're looking for less of a crowd, I'd give this a shot.

We had a great stay at the unique off this beaten path retreat! We stayed in a safari tent and loved it. It was equipped with everything you’d need, heater, ac, linens (including shower towels), fire pit, and an ice chest. The amenities also did not disappoint. There was a sauna, grass area for kids to run or to play soccer or corn hole, and plenty of showers/bathrooms. All areas well kept and clean. It also felt very safe. Lastly, you cannot beat the views. They were stunning! We would stay again in a heartbeat.

This was such a fun stay and a core memory for me and my son! The facilities were so convenient and had a fire pit, playground, sauna, and yard games. I wasn’t sure if we would have places to charge in the wagon but it had outlets and even had an outdoor outlet to plug in my EV. Would definitely come back!

The aesthetics for this place was top notch, the stars were epic. The bed was comfy but the problem was the heating. It not only couldn't warm the sleeping area, the blankets weren't adequate and the heater had to be drained every 2 hours.
