We stayed in the wagon and it was super clean!! The property was very nice with all amenities from bathrooms, sauna, showers, fire pit, and an area for children to play
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.
Room was perfect
Hot tub was great
Exactly what we needed

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!
This is one of the most unique stays I’ve been at. It’s a great location, and the views were stunning!

The view was gorgeous. It was definitely clean. we did stay in a wagon for the night. definitely was freezing the whole night. i would definitely recommend bringing a heater, they have one already in the room but it only heats for a couple then blows cold air. Therefore i recommend before staying in one of those to bring an extra blanket to stay warm and a heater to have in the room. There was a lot of mosquitos inside the room as well so i would also recommend bring bug spray. I did like how the bathroom has the shower there. i would recommend wearing shower shoes. They do have a little store you can purchase snacks or wood to use. overall it was a great stay just wish i was more warm at night. Overall the space and outdoor area is nice.
Great day, clean, shower, bathroom area, convenient to the grocery store for food if needed the on-site accommodations have daily supplies that you can use/buy which is very helpful. Felt safe, we definitely stay again easy drive to the national park and other activities
Very responsive host! Very understanding and accommodative to any help needed at any time!
I can assure it is a very safe place to stay, with beautiful views!
This is a small gem. It is in close proximity to many national parks/monuments. Facilities are very clean we felt completely safe here. Good for children/dogs too
What a fun place to stay in Colorado City! These tents were so cute and surprisingly very spacious. The amenities were clean especially after a long day. We visited several national parks that were close by and loved coming back each night to such a fun , safe and comfortable place to stay. The host was wonderful in communicating and was responsive to all quesrions and needs. We would stay again in a heartbeat!
This was an amazing experience.
I took a motorcycle trip from Canada and was able to stay in a tent in the desert with a view of the Milky Way at night.
There was an air conditioner by my bed which was helpful since it was hot when I arrived.
I recoomend this place!
This is such a cute and amazing place to stay! If you enjoy camping, but don't like setting up your own tent and also enjoy being able to shower, this is place for you! The views of the mountains around are great for watching sunrises and sunsets! Each site has there own grilling section and table to eat at, and there is a common area with a fire pit, what more could you ask for? A little under an hour drive to Zion, so if you plan on visiting the park, here is the perfect glamping experience!
Everything we expected from a "glamping" site. Communication was timely, friendly, and thorough; the safari tent was clean and well maintained; the bed was comfortable, and the space heaters were more than adequate for a chilly night. The single-user bathrooms and showers were clean, well maintained, and stocked.
We will absolutely be frequenting again and recommending to our friends!
Booked this trip last minute and didnt have the opportunity to travel with a tent of my own so this was a great alternative option. It was in proximity to Zion and Bryce canyon and i appreciated how quiet the area is. We had some very cold nights and the heater and blankets did the job and sleeping was comfortable. The whole process was very easy and had.no problems during our stay.
We stayed in a wagon and it was surprisingly spacious and comfortable for 2 people. The bathrooms and showers were clean. The hot shower felt really good after an all day hike at Zion. The office is stocked with things you need for cooking/grilling, like pots & pans, paper plates and disposable cutlery. I highly recommend Desert Sage if you’re looking for a glamping place.
