Romantic Getaways at the Grand Canyon: Why Couples Love Glamping
Looking for the most romantic getaway at the Grand Canyon? Whether you’re planning a honeymoon, a babymoon, celebrating an anniversary, or even popping the question, Highland Grand Canyon offers the kind of setting you simply can’t find in a traditional hotel.
Tucked away just four miles from the South Rim, Highland combines the quiet beauty of nature with the comforts of a boutique stay. It’s the perfect balance for couples who want to experience the adventure of camping with the ease of a hotel, better known as glamping.
Why Couples Choose Glamping Over Hotels or Camping
Many travelers wonder: Is camping, glamping, or a hotel best at the Grand Canyon? For couples, the answer is almost always glamping.
Hotels: While convenient, most South Rim hotels lack privacy, book out quickly, and can feel more like crowded basecamps than romantic escapes.
Camping: Traditional camping means packing gear, sleeping on the ground, and skipping little luxuries that make a romantic trip comfortable.
Glamping at Highland: Here, you’ll find king beds with memory foam mattresses, heated mattress pads for cool desert nights, lanterns and string lights for ambiance, and private porches for stargazing together.
It’s an experience designed for couples who want both adventure and intimacy.
Honeymoons and Babymoons at the Grand Canyon
A honeymoon or babymoon at Highland is unforgettable. Each tent is styled with unique décor, from boho-western touches to cozy modern farmhouse vibes, and the forest surroundings make you feel worlds away. Imagine sipping coffee together on your porch before heading to the Canyon for sunrise, or curling up under warm blankets while elk wander nearby.
Unlike a hotel, your stay feels personal, private, and deeply connected to nature.
Engagements and Anniversaries Under the Stars
Planning to propose at the Grand Canyon? Many couples use Highland as the romantic home base before or after their big moment. The South Rim is filled with breathtaking overlooks that are ideal for engagements, and when you return, your lantern-lit tent keeps the magic alive.
Anniversaries are just as special here, watching the sun set through the ponderosa pines, sharing a bottle of wine, and celebrating under skies filled with stars.
