This camp is very basic, for people who have not camped before it might be a big experience..... there is absolutely no shade, so if you arrive and it is hot.... it is unbearable. We took the chairs from our tent and sat down in the dry creek bed in the shade of the trees until it cooled down a bit. We are experienced campers and used to remote sites, so found it comfy, toilets and showers were clean, beds were great... It has so much potential to be a really great site but just feels like the tents have been put in the area.... tracks are a little dodgy between tents so take a torch or your phone.... A central rotunda or open shed with a camp kitchen and some shade would be amazing.. There is no food or cooking facilities on site.... so you need to byo something that doesnt require cooking or go into the local town which has a couple of restaurants and a decent little supermarket. It was fire restrictions when we were there so no camp fires for cooking.... but there are also no supplies to do so if you could... There was also no one on site at all to greet or assist.. find your name on a board and go to your tent.... Enjoyed the spot and experience.... but can see why it was a lot for some people...

Amazing. They need to communicate quicker and earlier and better. I had questions: no response for too long. They sent me a text the day of saying I needed 4wd, which I didn’t have and it woulda been too late anyway. They sent me an email, which I skimmed because I am busy, that talked about dining but was not for our site. Besides the communication issues. We LOVED our experience.

It’s a great experience. But hard for city people not to take a nice shower. I still loved the stay, and if I was to camp again it would be this style tents.

Is was my first time ever glamping. The place is nice but there's some key aspects that need improvement. The night we stayed in rained several times. There were several leaks inside our tent that not only wet the floor but the beds as well. The main zipper was broken not fully closing the tent. At the showers, we had to keep the cord pulled down because water wouldn't keep coming out. It was very muddy, we saw that it wasn't only hard for us to walk but to other guests as well, almost to the point of falling. The tents do have everything you need for a night.

Awful

Address on Hotels.com was inaccurate. The host didn’t advise that you need an all wheel drive or similar vehicle to get to the site. Host argued that they “sent specific instructions 1 hour before check in” but the text message was a link to the other instructions which the host did not indicate was a link.

There was no host on arrival, which we knew. Though we arrived to a parking lot full of trash, not welcoming at all! Moreover the following morning there was no water available, thus no functioning toilets and showers!!

The idea of this property is pretty cool. But it completely misses the mark! The bath house was out of water! The heaters all had empty propane tanks! It dropped to 47 degrees and there was no heat or electricity. There is no staff on site. When another renter showed up their tent zipper was broken and no one returned their call so they left. Another tent completely collapsed. It’s next to a highway so it’s noisy. I would not recommend this property to anyone!

This place needs 4*4 car to get to. No road available to the place. The hotel host only sent out the email on the day of checkin to let us know the road conditions. The tent is super dirty. We have stayed in other glamping places and this is nothing should be called as ylamping. It is not safe, dirty and unbelievable to even listed on this website.

We had tempered expectations before our stay based on several reviews we had read prior to our visit. We stayed at Wander Camp Bryce Canyon on Friday (9/20/24) and here’s what we found. Surprisingly easy to find, you can literally see the tents from the main road. The turn off the road is pretty small but it’s the only one there. There is a small stream/trickle to drive over as you make your way to the actual parting lot. We had no issue at all in a 2WD Charger but I will say with a significant amount of rain prior to your visit it could be tricky. Check-in was fine as the host was right there when we pulled in. She brought us to our tent and provided us with an extra blanket. Most of the tents are clearly labeled but there were a couple that weren’t (including ours) so if you show up after the sun goes down or after the host has left it may be hard to find your tent. The King tent was slightly smaller than it appeared in the pictures but it was big enough, bed was plenty comfortable and blankets were warm. The communication was good as we received a text message early in the day letting us know which tent was ours, then we received an email giving us very specific instructions on how to find the property. Bathrooms were decent. Overall we loved our experience, my only regret was not bringing warmer clothes as it was considerably colder there than at Zion where we stayed for most of our trip. Remember you’re staying in a tent in the desert, don’t expect too much.

The attendant Teresa was friendly. The place was located convenient to many parks. The temperature was wonderful there at night. Beds comfortable. Our tent was worn with lots of dirt and the zippers not working. The paths to get from car to tent were horrible. The bathrooms were okay but dirty with so many people using them.
