Fodor's Expert Review Yonder Escalante
2020 W. Hwy. 12, Utah, 84726, USA Fodor's Choice
Of the several hip glamping resorts that have opened in southern Utah in recent years, this sprawling compound on the west side of Escalante might just offer the best balance of a gorgeous contemporary design—accommodations are in sleekly restored Airstream trailers and cozy glass-walled cabins—and an inviting communal spirit, thanks to an inviting patio served by a food truck, a huge pool, and a drive-in movie theater with seating in vintage autos. The only drawback for some is that none of the accommodations have private baths, but the common bathhouses have beautifully appointed indoor-outdoor showers and look like those you might find at a posh spa). This pet- and family-friendly resort also has about 70 RV sites. The on-site general store carries a nice selection of craft beverages and prepared foods.
