What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
the execution is expert; there might be no better way to see this country’s national parks.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Kolob Terrace Road borders the camp's red-rock acreage, twenty miles from Zion's main south entrance in Springdale.
The rooms
Stargazer tents position clear ceiling panels directly over king beds. Bathrooms have flushing toilets and pull-chain showers.
The yoga deck
Morning yoga and starbathing meditation take place on an open-air deck set against the red cliffs.
Restaurant
Embers
Local trout and charcuterie arrive on metal trays under canvas canopies looking onto the red cliffs.
