Highland Grand Canyon is a boutique glamping retreat founded by Fabienne and Bass, a husband-and-wife team with a shared love for adventure, design, and the Grand Canyon. We officially opened in 2025 after years of planning, building, and dreaming. This land isn’t just where we built our business—it’s home. Fabienne grew up here, exploring these forests long before Highland existed, and that lifelong connection to the canyon informs every detail, from the layout of our tents to the way we care for the land and welcome our guests. As a small, owner-run retreat, Highland reflects who we are: independent, intentional, and committed to offering genuine hospitality. Whether you’re here for a once-in-a-lifetime visit or a quiet reset, we’re honored to share this place with you, and to help you experience the Grand Canyon in a way that feels both grounded and unforgettable.

Highland Grand Canyon is an off-grid, boutique glamping retreat just 4 miles from the South Rim, one of the closest and most distinctive places to stay near the Grand Canyon. Tucked among ponderosa pines and accessed via dirt and gravel roads, Highland offers just five safari-style tents, each thoughtfully designed to provide comfort, privacy, and a deep sense of calm. Guests love the peaceful setting, the curated decor in every tent, and the experience of being immersed in nature without giving up the comforts of home. Each tent features a king-size memory foam bed, heated mattress pad, soft linens, hanging lanterns, and a private covered porch, ideal for reading, relaxing, or watching wildlife pass through camp. Highland is intentionally small and quietly luxurious. It’s the kind of place where you wake to birdsong, catch elk wandering by, and fall asleep beneath a sky full of stars. Guests often say it feels like their own private hideaway: remarkably close to the canyon, yet worlds away from the crowds.

Highland sits on a private parcel of land completely surrounded by Kaibab National Forest, offering unmatched serenity, privacy, and stargazing with zero light pollution. Though it feels remote, Highland is just a 15-minute drive down dirt and gravel roads to the South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park and the town of Tusayan, where you’ll find restaurants, shops, and scenic attractions. It’s the perfect balance: total seclusion, with easy access to everything you came to see.
