Highland Grand Canyon

Peaceful glamping basecamp minutes from the South Rim

Grand Canyon Village, AZ

About

Highland Grand Canyon is a small glamping outfit tucked into the woods off Rowe Well Road, just outside Grand Canyon Village — about a 15-minute drive to the rim. Hosts Fabienne and Bass run the place personally, and it shows: guest after guest calls out their warmth, from greeting arrivals at the fire pit to personally shuttling stranded travelers down the gravel access road. With a perfect 5.0 rating across 50 reviews, it's one of the most consistently loved stays in the area.

What to expect

Accommodations are furnished canvas tents rather than a standard hotel room — comfortable beds with down blankets and heated mattress pads to cut the chill of high-desert nights, plus a shared outdoor kitchen, communal fire pit, and bathhouse that reviewers repeatedly describe as spotless and well-stocked with towels and toiletries. Tents run on solar power. It's a quiet, small-scale setup — few enough guests that the fire pit doubles as a place to actually talk to your neighbors.

Location: 33 Rowe Well Rd, Grand Canyon Village — reached via a short stretch of dirt/gravel road
Style: glamping tents, shared bathhouse and kitchen
Good for: hikers wanting a peaceful base camp close to the South Rim without booking inside the park

Several guests mention returning from a full day on the trails to hot showers and a genuinely restful night — exactly what a canyon basecamp should deliver.

We stayed with Fabienne and Bass for one night, and all we can say is that it is rare to meet such warm and welcoming hosts. Since we were traveling on our heavy Harley-Davidsons, we had difficulty riding on the gravel road leading to the accommodation. Bass kindly picked us up personally and even drove us back the next day. Their flexibility, helpfulness, and genuine hospitality truly impressed us. The two glamping tents we stayed in were tastefully and comfortably furnished, spotlessly clean, and equipped with everything needed for a short & pleasant stay. The outdoor kitchen, shared bathrooms and communal area were also beautifully arranged and created a wonderful atmosphere. We felt completely at home and would have loved to stay longer. If we are ever in the area again, we will definitely come back for another visit. Thank you, Fabienne and Bass, for your outstanding hospitality!

Outstanding! Fabienne and Bass have created something truly special. This charming, peaceful off-the-grid retreat is filled with beautiful finishing touches and thoughtful details that make it feel both welcoming and unique. A hidden gem and the perfect place to disconnect and recharge while experiencing one of the most spectacular places on Earth. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will certainly keep it on our radar for our next visit to this incredible region. Thank you for sharing your little piece of paradise with us!

INCREDIBLE! Fabienne and Bass are so kind and helpful and have clearly put a lot of thought and love into their site. Super convenient for visiting the grand canyon and peaceful evenings and mornings at Highland made our trip one to cherish forever. They really do make sure you have everything you need and nothing you don't :) So grateful they have decided to share their little slice of heaven with couples (and our pup) like us!

Stayed here for 2 nights in mid-March 2026. It was an amazing experience, and an excellent base camp to use to hike the Grand Canyon. Bass & Fabienne are incredibly friendly and welcoming hosts, the location is lovely (deep in the woods so you get a lot of peace and quiet), there’s a shared fire pit that you can roast marshmallows on and talk to the (small) number of other guests, the bathrooms were sparklingly clean, and the beds were extremely cozy (down blankets and a heating mat to balance the chill of May in the Grand Canyon area).

We absolutely loved our stay at Highland Grand Canyon! The location was perfect, the attention to detail was impressive, and climbing into a warm bed on a cold night was such a dream. We enjoyed relaxing by the fire pit and appreciated how friendly and welcoming the hosts were. My husband practically had to drag me away when it was time to leave! We can’t wait to come back.
