The highest-rated glamping property in this guide, at 9.0 across more than 1,000 reviews. It is in Valle, about half an hour from the South Entrance Station, with a restaurant on site and pets confirmed. Safari-tent accommodation is seasonal, so check operating dates before planning a shoulder-season trip around it.

Location reality

In Valle, outside the park. About 23 miles to the South Entrance Station, roughly 30 minutes. Straightforward highway driving, but there is very little in Valle itself beyond the properties.

Is Valle the right base for you?

Where to go if the stay itself is part of the trip, rather than a bed near the canyon. The full picture of what that area gives you, and what it costs you in drive time, is on our Valle guide. If you have not settled on an area yet, start with where to stay at the Grand Canyon, which compares every base side by side.
