Here at Acanela, we know that life is made of moments! Taking some time to get away from routine and explore all that the world has to offer is what it is all about! Unfortunately planning the perfect trip can require compromise. Some want adventures in the outdoors while others prefer seeing the city sites. Everyone tries to make their dream vacation happen but many times it is easier said than done. Luckily the Wander Camp team agrees that you deserve the best of both worlds! At our dreamy glamping site near Zion National Park, we provide the perfect space to enjoy a night on the town and under the stars!

Daytime Outdoor Adventure

The highlight of any trip is to step into nature. Zion National Park was made to be explored. Expanses of hiking trails, calming mountain drives, and stunning lookout points are the highlight of any vacation. The park is family accessible fit with a tram to transport your crew from sight to sight. Pack a lunch as you will want to spend all day inside the park gates. If traversing hikes isn’t your thing, catch some rays floating down the river in an innertube! Relax as you bob through the water with friends or family! Make sure to pack the sunblock for your adventure-packed day! 

Day in the City

Alternatively, take a stroll in the sunshine through the town of Springdale, near the entrance to Zion National Park. The weather in Southern Utah is almost always ideal; the sunshine is sure to bring out your best side! Pop into Cafe Soleil a sweet eatery fit with fresh baked pastries, yummy smoothies, along with lunch items many of which are vegan and vegetarian! Springdale is perfect for a city day, some of the town’s best attractions are its art galleries ! A broad selection of pottery, photography, and other work made by local artists inspired by the views around them are always on display.  These incredible art boutiques are fun for window shopping or taking home a unique souvenir to encapsulate your trip!

Night on the town 

At the end of the day celebrate with a night on the town! Get involved with Springdale’s nightlife to cap off your day of vacation! This cozy town is sure to find a memorable place in your heart as you explore all it has to offer! Choose from a selection of restaurants to enjoy delicious food and good company. King’s Landing Bistro has a dazzling menu and is sure to be an incredible meal! Or check out some of the other spectacular restaurants, bars, and nightlife scenes.  After dinner, catch a show at  Dixie State’s Famous OC Tanner Amphitheater each night is a new opportunity for fun.  From bands to luaus the red rock backdrop is perfect for your night’s entertainment. 

Night Under the Stars

We love that the outdoors is not contained and allows us to take in nature’s beauty everyday. We are so lucky to have the most stunning tapestry of stars that lights up the night sky in Southern Utah! We strongly encourage taking some time on your vacation to go stargazing as the Utah skyline shines with deep hues of purple, blue, and green. The National Parks service has even organized a guide with the best spots to  watch the sun slowly fade out of sight and to bask in the starlight at night. It is incredible how relaxing taking time in nature to breath in the fresh air can be, and we are sure it will be a simple yet treasured moment of your trip.
