Dine With Us: Because the Meals at Under Canvas Hit Different
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.
