The rooms
Stargazer tents set viewing panels directly above king beds, opening onto wooden decks facing canyon country.
Morning yoga
Complimentary morning yoga sessions take place in the open air across the desert camp grounds.
At the table
Guests cook dinner on communal outdoor grills, and the lobby tent stocks grab-and-go bites and espresso.
How it began
Former aid workers Sarah and Jacob Dusek pitched these tents in 2014, inspired by traditional African safari camps.
