Conestoga Ranch

Rented the Joshua tree tent for our anniversary celebration. Staff was super helpful and nice, and the view was lovely. We had to have our fire restarted (because we didn't realize how close it was to going out, eep!) and they weren't irritated with us, which is appreciated! The food is also excellent! The only downside was out of their control - a nearby campsite down the hill (not part of Conestoga) was having a very loud party that lasted right up to 10pm. This was my second time visiting the ranch and I'll be going a third time later this summer!

A very distinctive and safe hotel. Although the toilet and bathing place are a one-minute walk from the tent, it is not a problem for me because of the high safety factor and beautiful scenery. The bathroom and bathroom are integrated, which is very clean and odorless, and it is also equipped with a hair dryer, which is very convenient. There is a bonfire basin outside the tent. People who need to watch the stars at night can inform the waiter through the phone on the room card to help make a fire. Or you can call if you need anything else, and they can send it to the tent as needed, which is very convenient. Between each tent is a meadow, and there is a road paved with small stones. You need to carry your luggage in and out of the tent. They have a baggage cart to pick you up. Great! New experience! New mood! It's worth a visit!

This is noteable stuff as I don't think it is on their website or confirmation email. There's a fire pit at each tent and they provide wood. Big tents are stocked with towels and soap. There's a bathroom and shower in some tents (not wagons). Bicycle are provided but most tires are flat. There is a restaurant but I wouldn't count on it serving every meal. One day there was only a continental breakfast and they were closed Sunday at 1030am bc there was only 1 chef. There's a wood stove in the big tents but ours wasn't working properly and we had to keep fixing it until midnight. Other things to note: There's no way to cook your own breakfast unless you bring a griddle (we were told the restaurant would serve breakfast each day) 11pm fire ordance (fires out by 11pm) No grills at tents, only a designated grill area about 200 yards from The Grand tent Ranch is not on the lake. You must drive 22 mins to north beach ($14-20) and make a reservation in advance or go to a pull over beach All activities on their website are off site. (Water toy rentals, paddleboarding etc) though they have yard games there Grill utensils provided if requested Mini fridge included in room Beach towels for rent, $3 each They do have coffee and tea at reception Campsite staff was awesome at bringing wood and picking us up if needed and are responsive. They work until 12 or 1 am! The place is in the middle of town, so there's restaurants but they have long lines and you'll be there for at least a couple hours. Their website makes it seem like it's magical glamping in the mountains of Utah, but our view was Ace Hardware and a neighborhood on each side of us. Coming from the east coast I was disappointed at first expecting to have amazing views. As their website says " Glamping is where breathtaking nature and modern luxury meet to create an out of this world experience." However, we ended up have a good time. Bear Lake is beautiful and you can drive around to get the best views. It was super kid friendly. I think the website could be more specific on what to expect.

Well, now that I’ve experienced my first ‘glamping’ I think I need a refresh on what it actually is. We did go on Father’s Day weekend, so definitely was expecting it to be busy but wow. Super popular place! 1. This place is between two apartment complexes and behind all the stores on the Main Street. I thought it was closer to the lake but it’s tucked back behind buildings and backroads. Not the expected view or location. 2. The traditional tents are very close together, you can basically hear everything said and watch everyone around you and it’s clear as day. This was unfortunate when the kids/babies around us decided to start screaming at 9:00 pm then 6:45 am the next morning. I wish they could’ve maybe sectioned couples in one area, and families with kids in another. 3. For $256, this tent had a bed, a space heater, a fire pit, and a shared bathroom (wasn’t super clean as they had a full house and 15+ kids at once running around. We didn’t shower here.) I’m surprised for the price they didn’t include a small breakfast or some breakfast items already in the tent like granola bars or fruit….as there is a restaurant on site. All in all, I would recommend this place to take your family for a reunion! Lots of kids riding bikes everywhere and games and happy noises and super close to town. They even give you a s’mores bag! Do not go if you want a private quieter retreat or looking for something closer to nature and the lake.

We loved our adventure at Conestoga Ranch. We stayed in the grand tent (family of 6). It was clean and comfortable and the stove heated the whole area within minutes (it was cold when we arrived). The staff was very attentive and started our fire, gave us a s'mores kit and made sure we had everything we needed. We were walking back from breakfast (which was very good and the staff amazing) and another staff member asked where we were staying. When we mentioned our tent name, she knew my first name and offered to get us anything we needed. Having the private bath was SO worth it. We would definitely consider coming back.
