A quick note on the photos, the yurt is shown with a stargazing roof, this has since been removed due to weather-related leaks.
Nomad’s Pad Glamping Facility
Nomad’s Pad is an off-grid glamming facility near the Grand Canyon. They operate 4 tents in northern Arizona. Their cute canvas tents have a PVC tent floor with a heavy-duty zipper groundsheet. The tents have roll-up sites to allow for airflow and mosquito nets to prevent bugs from getting in. On colder nights a small propane heater is available. All four tents have two beds, one queen and one twin. They can sleep up to three people. The tents come with a bare-bones kitchen with a stove, dishes, silverware, pots, and pans.
The facility is located on a private ranch and the tents are at least 500 feet apart. The ranch offers panoramic views and radiant starry night skies. The property relies on solar energy, propane, or batteries. The bathroom and outdoor shower are shared between the tents. The toliet is a porta potty, which is professionally serviced once a week. The outdoor shower has hot water. Please bring your own firewood, drinking water, food, and a sense of adventure.
Dreamer Tent
Accommodates: 3 People, 2 Beds
Amenities: Mosquito Screens, Porta-Potty, Shared outdoor shower, Hammock, Fire Pit with a grill grate, Queen Bed, Twin Bed, no wifi, limited cell service
Distance from Grand Canyon South Rim Entrance: 30 minutes
Promising Review: A retreat located in the middle of the Arizona desert where you can truly be one with nature, but at the same time have a touch of modern convenience. I camped here in the dead of winter, at -5C and still felt comfortable in the tent. There is propane heater provided and lots of blankets, sleeping bags, and cooking utensils. Outside, you’ll find a nice fire pit (firewood not included) to keep yourself warm. The place is located off the beaten path, and you will have to drive through some fairly easy dirt roads to reach it. But once you get there, you’re greeted by silence and at night, the stars shine bright.
Price: $149 per night
Grand Nomad Tent
Accommodates: 3 People, 2 Beds
Amenities: Mosquito Screens, Porta-Potty, Shared outdoor shower, Hammock, Fire Pit with a grill grate, Queen Bed, Twin Bed, no wifi, limited cell service
Distance from Grand Canyon South Rim Entrance: 30 minutes
Promising Review: We had such an amazing experience with my boyfriend! I had never done anything like this and everything turned out great! We wanted to visit the South Rim of the Grand Canyon and felt like this was the closest besides actually being at the South Rim where there was a lot of people and we didn’t want to stay at a hotel. We wanted to experience some type of camping. The drive to the Grand Canyon is about 40 minutes and it’s a very easy and straight drive (once you get to the highway) but to get to the Airbnb you definitely need a bigger car like a mini SUV or truck to get through the rocky, bumpy road which is about 10 min starting from the highway. There were many amenities in the room but we felt like we also came very prepared too. The host was quick to respond and very nice! The only bummer for me was not being able to experience the hammock at my tent which was broken before we even got there but thankfully our money was returned for not having that amenity. The shower was great! Clean and it had hot water. The bathroom was a porta-potty which had not been cleaned, and since it was hot, it was extra smelly. I just would have liked it cleaned out before we had gotten there or provided two of them for more options. But I understand that this is part of the glamping experience. Besides those things, the place is surreal and magical and I totally recommend staying here if you’re looking for an isolated experience and like me not very experienced in camping but curious to try somnothing close to it! Thanks Grand Nomad! We hope to come back!

Promising Review: Exactly as advertised. A Yurt with some character. The sunrises and sunsets here can only be beaten at the Canyon. Dishes, cooking stove, port-o-potty, surprisingly awesome working shower (warm water), and a hammock here and there—all supplied. Minor wear and tear as to be expected (tent zippers, etc). Would come back.

Promising Review: I would highly recommend staying here during your trip to the Grand Canyon. If you didn’t bring your camping gear, wanted to experience glamping, or just wanted a less commercial experience in Arizona, this place is for you. Extremely comfortable bed, thoughtful touches, and well spaced tents (far enough to feel comfortable, but close enough you can meet fellow campers if you want)..

Promising Review: Perfect location to get in and out of South Entrance of Grand Canyon. Adequate parking, sleeps six comfortably. Kitchen was cozy but well stocked with cookware and tableware. Although there’s no AC, Marty provides plenty of fans which keep the air moving. Perhaps the best part was Marty’s communication. Whether it was answering questions or providing suggestions, we really benefited from his help. The smell of pines and the sounds of nature surround this park, at night the stars are amazing! Plus we saw three elk in the backyard!

Promising Review: This is a great place to stay if you’re looking for the comfort of home near the Grand Canyon. Quiet and peaceful property that’s still a short drive to town. The bed was super comfortable and we really enjoyed star gazing from their back yard patio. Also Steve and Sk are incredible hosts with great information on the canyon and they’re very flexible with travelers schedules. We had early mornings planned for hiking and skydiving and they accommodated our early starts with coffee made and breakfasts to go! We hope we are fortunate enough in the future to stay with them again!

Promising Review: Dmitriy’s place is great. IT IS RURAL. You will go from maintained dirt road to dirt road to dirtier/more difficult road. But it is well worth it. The value is great (especially given how many people can sleep here AND it’s pet friendly), close to the Grand Canyon and other area locations, and super clean/comfortable. I highly recommend staying here, and it was especially great to be able to bring our dogs with us when it’s generally pretty hard to find pet-friendly AirBnBs.

Promising Review: This amazing and unique A-frame cabin in the woods was exactly what we were looking for in an escape into nature. The mountain behind the property provides a beautiful backdrop and nice quick day hikes through the trees. Additionally being incredibly dog friendly was a huge plus!

Distance from Grand Canyon South Rim Entrance: 90 minutes
Promising Review: This tiny cabin is a total delight! The personal sauna is amazing, the insane view of the stars, in the dark night sky is spectacular, and the cabin is cozy and ideal. It basically has everything you could need, and is perfect for a couple or a small group or family. It has a full kitchen, shower room, sauna, tv, the perfect place for stargazing, and backs up to the national forest, so it’s pretty private. There are neighbors, so you are not totally isolated in the woods. Mahesh is a fantastic host- professional, polite, and quick to respond. We are already planning our next stay here, and have recommended some friends to book a trip here. It was perfect! I recommend arriving before dark. And beware that one of the roads leading up to the cabin’s property is really rocky. It would be fun for an off-roading vehicle, but was challenging for my MINI.

Promising Review: Randy’s Glamping situation is an absolutely perfect way to visit some of the most beautiful sights in the Southwest. From making s’mores around the gas fire pit under the stars, cooking our breakfasts and dinners on the grill, showering outdoors, to probably the most comfortable bed in a tent that exists on the internet, you won’t regret staying here. Randy was friendly, helpful, and available. We had a small issue with our shower early in our stay but Randy personally came out and fixed it while we spent the day at the Grand Canyon. We would highly recommend hitting up Essential Coffee on your way to your adventures (just 5 miles down the road). And the Dairy store is just behind it, which has plenty of snacks, some basic groceries, and soft serve frozen yogurt! This place felt like home in no-time. We were sad to leave!

The space was incredibly clean, and it’s clear that they are taking all possible measures to safely host guests in the wake of COVID-19. Also very centrally located, about equidistant from many national parks. And the views right outside the door were breathtaking! When we first arrived we found ourselves in a bit of a pinch and Wendy went out of her way to help us, for which we are very grateful. P.S. Their delicious honey is a huge bonus!
