About Us
We are a group of friends who wanted to share the experiences of beautiful outdoors in a fun, new, and exciting way with you.
Grand Glamping is located on 7 acres of land shared with other glamping experiences ranging from tipis to campers. We've done an excellent job spacing the sites apart so as to feel secluded, but please know you may see another guest every so often.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there heat? The airstream is equipped with a couple of personal propane heaters to keep you warm on those chilly Arizona nights. But please note that is does get very cold out sometimes. So bring an extra pair of PJs, thermals and long johns for added warmth :) If you can fit them, bring extra blankets and sleeping bags too!
Can I cook? The tiny kitchen area offers a small camping stove, french press coffee maker, mini-refrigerator, pots/pans and basic utensils for prepping a quick meal.
Is there hot water? Absolutely! The shower inside of the airstream produce piping hot water. Right outside the yurt you'll find a small outdoor shower with hot water. In order to use either, you’ll need to set up the water heater (which is a relatively straightforward process).
Is there a bathroom? We aren't savages! There are outdoor bathrooms and showers for the yurts, and indoor restrooms and shower for the Airstream.
Is there electricity? There are a couple of places for you to plug in your beloved cell phones to get a full charge! Past that there are basic lights.
Please note: We do not provide wifi service, as this is intended to stay true to the camping feel. We don't typically have issues with cell service, so you can always use your phone as a hot spot!
Dogs are allowed during you stay for an additional $25 fee per dog. We ask that dogs do NOT get on the couch or bed to be respectful of other people's allergies.
More To Know
The roads that lead to us are dirt roads and can get muddy. AWD vehicles are recommended, but any truck or SUV should be able to handle it. Cars can maybe handle it, but there’s a chance of getting stuck and tow trucks are expensive. Our on-site host has tow straps in case of emergency, but it’s not guaranteed he’ll always be in town or available.
On occasion, when it gets to freezing temperatures the water tank may freeze. In this instance you would not be able to utilize the showers/sink. This is a rare occurrence, but it does happen. We recommend bringing some bottled water with you.
In order to take hot showers, you’ll need to set-up/tear down the hot water heater every time. It’s a straightforward process, but necessary as keeping it permanently installed damages the piping and has broken our water heater in the past.
It does get very windy on the property. If you're inside the yurt, this may feel alarming. But we assure you that the yurt has been properly secured to the deck and ground. You will not blow away :)
Our spaces are set up to be off-the-grid and run solely on solar power. On gloomy days, our solar batteries may not be able to charge fully. In these instances, the fridge may be inoperable. We apologize in advance, but know you can still use the fridge as a cooler. We recommend buying foods that don't spoil easily, like eggs and fruit.
There is almost no light pollution around the yurt. It gets very dark on moonless or cloudy nights. We have provided an LED lantern and lights inside the yurt. You may also want to bring a flashlight or use your phone light.
Lastly, it can get very cold in the winter. Like freezing cold. Please pack accordingly. Before you stay, be sure to look up the weather. Please keep in mind our two personal space heaters can only do so much. Please pack extra warm clothing (thermals and long johns) to keep warm. Refunds will NOT be issued because it’s cold out. We have no control over the weather and want to be upfront about this from the beginning.
We've provided several cozy blankets and two propane portable heaters. We've personally stayed in the yurt on a snowy night and did just fine! But if you're really sensitive to the cold weather, this may not be the place for you during the winter.
It's very important for us to be upfront about all of this, as we do not want to be dinged in our reviews for things out of our control. So please be mindful that this is and was always meant to be an outdoor experience.
