“Glamping” – a conglomeration of “glamorous” and “camping” is all the rage these days. From yurts to stargazing bubbles, there are so many different ways to immerse yourself in nature for the night without “roughing it.” Backland, a luxury eco-resort near the Grand Canyon, is one such place. Featuring tents with skylights, an on-site farm-to-table restaurant, and so many other five-star amenities, this unique getaway in the charming town of Williams is one of the best glamping resorts in Arizona.
Just a short drive from the eponymous Grand Canyon, Backland is a luxury eco-resort that will change the way you think about glamping in Arizona.
The resort is surrounded by miles of ponderosa pine forests that extend for miles in all directions, making for a secluded experience that promises to leave you feeling refreshed and renewed.
Four different tent styles are available: the Backland Suite, Sky Suite, Grand Suite, and Grand Sky Suite. Both Grand Suites sleep up to six, while the Backland and Sky Suites accommodate four.
Sky Suites boast a 16-foot-long skylight directly over the bed, so you drift off to sleep while gazing up at the vast night sky full of twinkling stars.
Amenities in all tents include panoramic windows, king-sized beds (plus additional bedding in Grand Suites), a full bathroom, coffee maker, mini fridge, and many more hotel-like perks.
Can you imagine waking up to this view? Sipping your morning coffee on your very own private porch is the definition of bliss as far as we're concerned.
Resort activities include geocaching, a spa, horseback riding, nature trails, and a pond where you can kayak, fish, relax on a lounge chair, and build sandcastles.
