  • What is the closest airport?
  • Do you provide shuttles from the airport?

  • What time is check-in and check-out?

    Check-in: 3 p.m. – 1 a.m.

    Arriving late? No problem. Simply let us know so we can make a note on your reservation. We have staff available 24 hours a day for your convenience.

    Check-out: 10 a.m.

    Check out is by 10 a.m. We cannot accommodate late check-outs.

  • Is there electricity in the tents?

    In order to provide an experience that allows guests to disconnect and feel truly immersed in nature, and to minimize the use of precious resources, there is no electricity or outlets in the tents. However, there are battery-powered fans and lanterns with USB plugs so you can charge at least two cell phones. If you need a powered battery for a CPAP or medical device, just let us know in advance of your stay so that we can request one. Powered batteries are available on a first-come, first-serve basis.

  • Is the camp lit at night?

    Yes, we use solar pathway lighting around camp but make an effort to limit light pollution at our eco-conscious locations, which allows you to take in your 1,000 star hotel room! The view of the Milky Way Galaxy is stunning from all of our locations. There are also lights on the reception tent, the shared bathrooms and all tents have USB-powered lanterns for use inside and outside the tent.

  • Are maps available for each camp?

    Yes, camp maps are available on the website, at the bottom of each camp page. Use the navigation menu above to find your specific camp map. (Please note that we do not guarantee camp sites, although requests can be made.)

  • Can I lock the tent?

    The tents do not have locks. However, they do zip up with both an inner mesh netting, and an additional canvas exterior shell. We do suggest keeping all valuables such as cash, jewelry, cameras, passports, etc. with you or in a locked vehicle.

  • How safe is the camp?

    Our camp staff is available and monitoring our family-friendly camps 24 hours a day. Our staff is equipped with radios for site-to-lobby communication. We’re here to make your glamping experience comfortable, safe, and relaxing! Quiet hours are enforced after 10 p.m..

  • Are you pet friendly?

    We only allow dogs. We have a $25 fee per dog, per night. Service animals are welcome, free of charge. We ask that you please keep your dog on a leash, clean up after them, and do not leave them unattended in your tent at any time.

  • How do I book an adventure?

    After booking a stay at your Under Canvas location of choice, our Adventure Concierge will reach out to help you get an adventure on the books. No need to reach out in advance. Please visit our adventures page for details on adventures offered at each location. If you have questions, please reach out to adventures@undercanvas.com.

  • What is your cancellation policy?

    Payment in full is required at time of booking to confirm your reservation. Reservations may be canceled up until 30 days prior to your arrival date for a 95% refund. Within 30 days of arrival date, reservations are non-refundable, non-modifiable, and non-transferable. Cancellations, for whatever reason, made within the 30-day window prior to your arrival date are non-refundable. This cancellation policy applies to your tent and any other add-ons/enhancements you book.

    Early departures or no shows will still be chargeable at their full rate. Cold or inclement weather will not permit refund for cancellation, unless the company deems the conditions make staying with us unsafe.

    To protect your stay at Under Canvas, we highly suggest purchasing travel insurance.

  • How are additional people accommodated in the tents with one king bed?

    We can provide one camp cot with bedding for children under 18 for $25 per night. Larger families are encouraged to enjoy the convenience of our tents that offer adjacent Kids’ Tents.

    Pack-n-play cribs may be added to any tent type at no additional cost.

    Reach out to our reservations team to add a camp cot or pack-n-play to your reservation based on availability.

  • Are there fire pits outside each tent?

    In order to provide a safe camping experience, we have communal fire pits that are lit between 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. each night. We also provide complimentary s’mores and roasting supplies. After all, what would glamping be without s’mores?!

    Each tent is equipped with a wood-burning stove for heating the inside of your tent at night.

  • Is there Wi-Fi?

    At Under Canvas we believe connecting with those around us and exploring the great outdoors is invaluable. For this reason, we do not have any Wi-Fi at any of our locations.

    Want to unplug, be present, and unwind? Check out our Camp Programming page for an example list of on-site programs that may be offered during your stay.

  • Will my cell phone work at camp?

    The quality of coverage can vary based on location and service provider. We suggest checking the coverage map of your service provider.

  • Can I do filming or photography at camp?

    Filming and photo shoots require advance approval. Location fees and proof of insurance may be required. Please contact marketing@undercanvas.com.

    For safety reasons, recreational drone use by any guest or member of the public is not permitted on or over any of our properties. Likewise, commercial use is also prohibited, except in limited circumstances when an approved operator has received written permission from the Marketing team. This includes use associated with special events, marketing, and film/photo applications.

  • What should I pack?

    Be sure to check the weather before arriving and pack accordingly for all weather conditions. You may want to bring quality hiking shoes, backpacks, water bottles and a USB cell phone charging cord to use with the USB battery packs in your tent. Rain jackets are also advised, just in case! But not to worry, our tents are fully weatherized and are capable of handling common rainstorms! If you want a full packing list for the location you are visiting, check out the packing lists on our blog.

  • Can we park in front of our tent?

    There are central parking lots throughout the camps. The tents are accessible via a foot path. For those who have a hard time getting around, just let us know and we can assist you with a golf cart or request a tent closer to the parking lots for you.

  • Which tents come with the wood burning stove?

    All tent types besides our Kids Tents have a wood burning stove. Kids Tents are not equipped with a heating element. Wood is provided, along with a firestarter and matches. The stoves do help heat the tent quite a bit, but if you are traveling during the colder months, you may want to pack some warm clothes to ensure maximum comfort. If you have any trouble getting the fire started, feel free to reach out to our camp staff for assistance!

  • Do the tents have air conditioning?

    Our tents do not have air conditioning. If you are visiting in the summer please keep this in mind. They do have USB fans and misting systems to help cool the tents a little.

     

  • Do you have a pool or hot tub at the camp?

    Our locations do not have a pool or hot tub.

  • Is there a minimum stay?

    There are times when a minimum nights’ stay is implemented. These minimums are non-negotiable and cannot be overridden.

  • Do you have any discounts?

    We offer a 10% discount to active AARP and military members. Please call 888-496-1148 to redeem. Proper identification will be confirmed during check-in. If no ID is presented during check-in, guests will not be eligible for the discount and will be charged the full reservation amount.

  • Are kids allowed? Do you have bedding for a baby?

    Absolutely! We offer the complimentary addition of a pack-n-play to any tent type. Kids under 18 can stay on a camp cot with bedding (pillow, blankets, and a foam mattress topper for some added comfort) for an additional $25 per night. Just let us know what you’d like to add and we’ll make your tent as cozy as possible for your little ones!

Due to the remote locations and high altitudes of many of our camps, the weather can be unpredictable. Occasionally, in a very dry summer, a fire ban can be in effect for a specific location. We recommend that you come prepared for colder evenings, particularly if using your wood stove becomes impossible due to fire restrictions.
