This was our first experience glamping. The first glamping tent was perfect. It had been prepared for our arrival with a gas fire going and the room warm. An additional propane heater was available as well. The second glamping tent, however, was not prepared and it was as if they had forgotten we had paid for two. There was no gas fireplace in this tent and the propane heater was out of propane. We requested multiple times to have the heater fixed. They kept saying the service men had already fixed it or that someone was on their way. With all their failed promises to get it fixed, I didn't want them closing the office and leaving us cold through the night; so I waited in the office communicating by phone with my husband waiting at the tent until I knew it was fixed. It took them over an hour for them to get it finally done. As a result, the kids got to go swimming without us and dinner was really late at night. They promised to refund half our tent price as a result, which we are still waiting to receive. Other than that disappointment, it was a fun place to be.
Amazing glamping stay for 3 nights at Zion! Hiking during the day and then coming back to the pool in the late afternoon was amazing! And great fire pit and stargazing! Would highly recommend!
Great camping/glamping spot. A little far from Zion proper, and they could be better about enforcing quiet hours. The screaming children playing nighttime mini golf was a little much.

Conestoga Wagon
We stayed in the Conestoga wagon, fun and charming. Bathrooms were far away. Common bathroom areas were reasonable nice and clean. Pool and hot tubs were awesome. I would stay again, good value. Ate at the restaurant, great food and staff.
The glamping tent only contained 2 beds and a couch. Mattres from the little bed was very poor, the blankets disgusting, ready for renewal. The gas heater bottle was empty after 1,5 hours, resulting in a cold night with blankets that could not keep you warm. Time for a make-over I would say.
The area was fantastic.
Our stay at the Ponderosa Ranch was for easy access to Zion National Park. This was a good close option to get to the park easily and enjoy our visit. Ponderosa is a mix of accommodation options from tent to Cabins at a reasonable cost. The cabin we had was located close to amenities and the main restaurant & reception. A range of activities are available to purchase from horse riding to off road buggies which can be booked on site. The restaurant offers a good menu and range of drinks there are also alternatives to choose from within 30 minutes of the ranch. There is a swimming pool with jacuzzi & two pools. I would recommend the Ponderosa as a good choice to stay.
The unit was essentially a tiny home at a summer camp. The placement of queen bunk beds was tight.
I picked it for the shower and was pleased with the shower. It would have been nice to have a hook somewhere close to the opening of the shower to hang my towel.
The power outlets were not the best and my charger plugs didn't stay in well.
The food in the lobby while convenient was average at best. I had a cheese burger and they didn't heat up the bun and the fries were cold.
Overall, it worked for the 1 night I was here but I wouldn't recommend it to others and would not return.
I really enjoyed where the property was located and the amenities here were great.
I stayed in a Cowboy cabin but want to go back and stay in a pioneer wagon next time.
The outside pops were so nice and hot tub as well. I really enjoyed my pizza, drink, and dessert from their restaurant as well.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
We enjoyed the location, the ease of check-in, and the on-site options in a remote resort area. VERY DISSATISFIED that the welcome
Email outlined food options as available for our stay- only to find out upon check-in that the taco truck was NOT available. In this remote setting- we bypassed restaurants on our drive out here because we planned to enjoy taco trucks. An email from the resort specifically promoted this offering that was NOT available. VERY disappointing. We rode motorcycles all day and tacos at the end of our ride, at the resort, should NOT have been an issue.
