The Sweetest Tradition at Under Canvas: The Nightly S’more
It all begins with an idea.
Let’s be real — you might come to Under Canvas for the trails, the sunsets, or the insane stargazing. But there’s one thing that sneaks up and becomes the highlight of your day: s’mores.
Yep. Gooey, chocolatey, slightly burnt perfection. And somehow, they taste even better under a sky full of stars.
How to Make the Perfect Under Canvas S’more (and Why You Should)
Step 1: Grab Your Gear
Every night, the firepit is ready, and so is the s’more station. You’ll need:
1 graham cracker (or two, if you’re serious)
1 chocolate square
1 marshmallow
1 roasting stick
A smile and zero rush
Pro tip: don’t forget a blanket. It’s chilly under the stars.
Step 2: Fire It Up
Stick your marshmallow over the flames — but don’t just drop it in! Hold it close enough to get golden brown (or black if you’re feeling rebellious). Listen to the crackle, smell the smoke — this is part of the experience.
Step 3: Chocolate Meets Marshmallow
Once your marshmallow is perfectly toasted (or delightfully burnt), sandwich it between your graham crackers with a square of chocolate. Press gently. Let the marshmallow melt the chocolate just enough to ooze over the sides.
Step 4: The First Bite
Now comes the best part: bite in slowly. Warning: sticky fingers, chocolate on your nose, maybe a laugh or two — this is all normal. Look up at the sky while you eat. The stars are brighter here, promise.
Step 5: Repeat (Optional but Strongly Recommended)
One s’more is rarely enough. Make a second (or third) and share with friends, family, or new neighbors you met by the fire. It’s not just dessert — it’s community.
A Final Bite
S’mores at Under Canvas aren’t just about sugar — they’re about slowing down, laughing, connecting, and making memories.
So go ahead… grab a stick, roast that marshmallow, and let the night unfold. You’ll leave with chocolate on your fingers and a smile you won’t forget.
Dine With Us: Because the Meals at Under Canvas Hit Different
Dining at Under Canvas is not about fine china or exact plating — it’s about setting. About food that fits the landscape instead of fighting it. About returning from a trail dusty and hungry and finding not just something to eat, but something to gather around.
Most people book Under Canvas for the national parks and the stargazing — and honestly, fair. But once you’re there, the food sneaks up on you. It stops being “what we grabbed between hikes” and becomes part of the trip itself.
It’s not restaurant-stuffy and it’s not campground-basic — it’s that sweet spot in between: good food, good mood, and nature doing most of the decorating.
Mornings Done Right
Picture this: you roll out of bed, unzip your tent, and instead of hunting for a coffee shop, you walk a few steps and there’s fresh coffee, hot breakfast, and people spread out making their game plan for the day. Some are lacing up boots, some are corralling kids, some are just slowly waking up with a latte. It’s calm, casual, and feels nothing like a hotel lobby
Day + Night Eating, On Your Time
Whether you’re grabbing something quick before a hike or settling in for a real meal after dark, the vibe stays the same: unfussy, fresh, and thought-through. Wraps, salads, sandwiches, snacks — ideal for backpacks and car rides. Come back in the evening and it shifts: lanterns glowing, firepits lit, and menus that reflect wherever you are — smoked meats near Yellowstone, seafood by Acadia, Southwestern plates in Moab. Add a glass of wine or craft beer, and suddenly you’re not just eating — you’re kind of having a moment.
And Then…the S’mores
Every night, no matter how your day went, it ends with fire and melted chocolate. Complimentary s’mores supplies come out and people gather around like it’s a nightly ritual — because it is. Kids roast marshmallows, adults lean back with a drink, strangers start talking like they’re old friends.
It’s simple, nostalgic, and kind of perfect.
More Than Meals — A Mood
Dining at Under Canvas is not about fine china or exact plating — it’s about setting. About food that fits the landscape instead of fighting it. About returning from a trail dusty and hungry and finding not just something to eat, but something to gather around.
Campfire Connections
It all begins with an idea.
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
