About

Sandstone fins, dark skies and wide-open space ten minutes from Arches and Canyonlands. Pitch a tent under a shade shelter, take a rim-view site on the edge of the mesa, or book one of our furnished teepees with real beds. At night the Milky Way rises over the mesa; we keep lighting low so you can see it.

  • ★★★★★Olivia · stayed September 2026

    The teepee was magical. Real bed, string lights and the clearest Milky Way I have ever seen. The stargazing tour was worth every penny.

    Response from the host

    So glad you loved it, Olivia! Clear skies on your next visit.

  • ★★★★★Mason · stayed August 2026

    Perfect base for Arches and Canyonlands. Our rim-view site had the best sunrise of the whole trip.

  • ★★★★★Mia · stayed July 2026

    Beautiful spot but it was windy and dusty the whole weekend. Showers were clean though, and staff were helpful.

    Response from the host

    Sorry about the wind, Mia. Spring can be gusty out here. Fall is calmer if you give us another try.

  • ★★★★★James · stayed June 2026

    Dark-sky rules really make a difference. Quiet, respectful neighbors and an incredible sunrise over the fins.

  • ★★★★★Zoe · stayed April 2026

    Shade shelters saved us in the heat. The dogs loved the morning walks on the rim trail.
