This place was absolutely amazing! It's such a cool concept and the whole vibe was so fun. The views are stunning, the tents are awesome and cozy, the staff were so friendly and accommodating, and the camaraderie of the main tent was just wonderful. We will definitely come back and visit other Under Canvas locations as well.

Our tent was impeccably clean, spacious, and featured a wonderfully comfortable king-size bed with soft linens. The wood-burning stove kept us warm and cozy as the desert evenings cooled down. The provided USB battery packs for charging devices and lanterns were thoughtful touches that blended seamlessly into the glamping experience.

We stayed for one night and had the most wonderful stay. The site is beautiful and the private beach was great to go hunting for crabs.
The food is beautiful and the s’mores kits are a great touch.
The bed is super comfy and the tents are spacious. The team were in hand to help us get our stuff from the car to the tent.
All of the team were incredibly helpful and friendly. So happy to give recommendations for walks near by.
