Frequently Asked Questions

  • Highland is located just 4 miles away from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, and 5 miles from the town of Tusayan.  Our property is accessed via dirt and gravel roads, so we recommend an all-wheel-drive vehicle. Although we think it’s part of the adventure, it may not be for everyone.  There is limited cell service on the drive, so we recommend downloading an offline map before heading out!

  • There is no minimum stay, however, we recommend a minimum stay of 2 nights. We promise that our dreamy beds, stunning views, and peaceful location will make it worth your while!

  • The check-in time 3 PM, and check-out time is 11 AM. If you have any special requests regarding check-in or check-out times, please let us know ahead of time, and we will do our best to accommodate you.

  • Our shared bathrooms are clean and well-maintained, located in a separate building just a short walk from the tents. Each fully private, lockable room includes a hot-water shower, sink, and flushing toilet.  We provide towels and eco-friendly body wash, shampoo and conditioner. We take conservation seriously, as we operate solely on solar power, so we kindly ask our guests to be mindful of water and power usage during their stay.

  • Of course! We've got you covered with free WiFi in our communal area, so you can easily stay connected with your loved ones and share all the exciting details of your adventure!

  • Cellphone coverage is spotty in Northern Arizona, Highland included! From our experience, Verizon and T-Mobile tend to work the best, but we recommend checking your provider's coverage map ahead of time to make sure you can stay connected

  • Yes, but it's limited. As we’re off-grid, all of our energy comes from solar power, so we operate within those limits.

    There are no outlets in the bathrooms for blow dryers or straighteners. In the tents, we offer portable chargers for your devices, but if you need power for a medical device, we recommend bringing your own power bank. We do provide lanterns to help you navigate at night.

  • No, but we provide heated mattress pads to keep you warm during chilly nights. We also have fans and screened windows that can be opened to allow for cross wind ventilation, which keeps the tents cool during hot summer days.

  • There is a central parking lot at the camp. From there, you can easily access your tent via a footpath, and we provide wagons to help you transport your luggage. If you have mobility concerns, choose the Ada Bass tent, which is fully ADA compliant and closest to the parking lot!

  • No, we respect your privacy during your stay.

    However, if you'd like a mid-stay housekeeping service, just let us know, and we’d be happy to arrange it for you.

  • Absolutely, we're huge dog lovers and gladly welcome well-behaved pups! You can bring up to two dogs with a maximum weight of 60lbs each. Just make sure to keep them on a leash that's no longer than 6 feet, and never leave them unattended. Also, be a responsible pet owner and clean up after your dog. We've got designated dog waste receptacles all over the property, so it's easy to do your part.

    If your dog damages anything in the accommodation, such as furniture, flooring, bedding, etc., you'll be responsible for paying a fee for repair or replacement. And if your dog is noisy, vicious, or unruly, we won't be able to allow them to stay with us. We take safety and comfort seriously for all our guests.


    Please note that we only allow dogs at Highland, as other pets may be able to sneak out of the tents. Thank you for understanding and we can't wait to meet your dogs!
