Peaceful glamping basecamp minutes from the South Rim
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.
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.
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.

Outstanding place, Bass and his wife are excellent hosts,accommodations are well taken care of and provide many opportunities and options for guests, also very convenient to the Grand Canyon and its offerings.

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.

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!

Highland Campground truly impressed us. It was an amazing experience. The peace and quiet, the starry sky, and the warm atmosphere were simply wonderful. The owners are incredibly kind and helpful. It was a pleasure to stay at your campground, and thank you for your help with my lost car key. Dirk and Aggela
