Under Canvas Moab

Moab


This 'glamping' option gives you rustic canvas tents with some laudable creature comforts – the pimped-out suites even have flush toilets and sitting areas – just like a Victorian explorer (kinda). There's a community bonfire at night and you have excellent views onto Arches from the 40-acre compound.

All in all, though, it's still got a ways to go. It's too close to the road and the appointments and service do not deserve this sky-high price point.
