Under Canvas Lake Powell - Grand Staircase
Stellar tented stay
Red-rock canyon rim
The stars align in more ways than one at Under Canvas Lake Powell – Grand Staircase, where you can survey the namesake lake, Mars-like landscape and towering mesas from its privileged canyon’s-edge perch. During the day, explore the onsite slot canyon or a host of camera-roll-filling natural sights that are accessible on foot, horseback or by boat. Come nightfall, star-freckled skies canopy the camp where fireside s’mores and live music bring a feelgood finale to lo-fi days.
Under Canvas Lake Powell – Grand Staircase is open from 12 March to 26 October 2026.

Packing Tips
Bring your coziest clothes – Under Canvas Lake Powell – Grand Staircase is a DarkSky-certified camp, so evenings (naturally) are spent admiring the night sky. Brush up on local legends or scary stories to trade around the fire pit.
Also
There’s no WiFi here, and you won’t find any TVs around, meaning evenings tend to be filled with stargazing and fireside music and s’mores.
Children
Welcome; there’s no kids’ club or babysitting, but some tents come with an adjoining kids’ tent, and family-friendly activities included with your stay make Under Canvas an all-ages favorite.

You can buy grab ’n’ go bites, like sandwiches, snacks and parfaits, to keep energy levels high during action-packed days.

As the sun sets over the canyon, grab a local ale, glass of wine or craft cocktail from Embers to take to the fire pit or rocky rim.

Worth Getting Out of Bed For
Sunrise yoga, scavenger hunts and fireside stargazing soundtracked by live music keep all ages content at Under Canvas Lake Powell – Grand Staircase, but beyond this basecamp, nature puts on an equally stellar show. Guest experience coordinators can help to arrange guided hikes and picturesque trails include those to Toadstool Hoodoo or Glen Canyon Dam; the onsite Elephant Slot Canyon is a prime canyoneering spot. Other jaw-dropping destinations to explore on foot include the Wave at Grand Staircase – Escalante National Monument, Antelope Canyon and Rainbow Bridge, or if legs are feeling weary, traverse the vast terrain on a UTV tour. For water-based antics, take a boat tour on Lake Powell, swim at Lone Rock Beach or enjoy a float trip around Horseshoe Bend on the Colorado River.
