Under Canvas Columbia River Gorge

Terrible experience. Treated us like it was our fault.

This was our first time experiencing glamping, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The personnel were kind and welcoming. They offered ice and glasses when they saw I had brought my own wine. The views, calm, complimentary tea, games, and s’mores in front of the fire were wonderful. Thank you for making it such a memorable time!

We stayed for a night to celebrate a birthday, and the property was beautiful. The team even set up decorations in our tent ahead of time, which was an amazing surprise! Every staff member we met was also prompt and attentive. In the middle of the night, a widespread county utility outage completely knocked out the power in the area, meaning the water pumps for the shower stopped working. The night auditor, Eric, was amazing. He tried troubleshooting the pumps and when it couldn't be fixed, he drove us back and forth to the main lobby in the middle of the night so we could wash our faces and brush our teeth. He was incredibly empathetic of the inconvenience. The next morning, the assistant manager, Morgan, was equally phenomenal. She was so understanding about our stay being disrupted and immediately offered a very fair and reasonable resolution. Even though the power outage was out of the staff control, Eric and Morgan turned a tough situation into a showcase of amazing hospitality.

Overpriced and bathrooms were filthy

We had a wonderful stay at Under Canvas Columbia River Gorge. We don’t really have much camping experience, so this setup was perfect for us — super easy and comfortable, and we didn’t feel overwhelmed at all. We also really loved the overall vibe of the property; it felt thoughtfully designed and very relaxing. The restaurant was great too — definitely better than we expected for a glamping site. The only downside was the yellow jacket issue. As soon as we brought food outside, they would swarm pretty quickly, which was a bit stressful. Aside from that, everything else was lovely, and we’d still recommend it, especially for people who want an easy, low-stress way to experience the outdoors.

We were excited to get away to try our first glamping trip. Upon first arrival the staff seemed nice and the views were great. Then we got into our tent. A Stargazer. I turned over the pillows and found dead bugs. Big ones. There were stink bugs crawling around the bed and about a hundred tiny flying insects that I couldn't identify. I thought the point of paying hundreds of dollars a night would be less bugs Inside the tent. We notified the staff. They apologized and offered to move us to another tent but at that point my trust was gone. We couldn't trust the cleanliness of the kitchen after that and you are not allowed to bring food. Fortunately we found a room across the river at the Best Western for a fair price. Under Canvas has refunded us for one night we booked. Since we were only there long enough to discover the bug infestation I feel we should get a full refund. So I haven't been able to recommend Under Canvas to anyone. Sorry. Update: They gave us a full refund. Thank you.

We felt like royalty when we stayed with Under Canvas at the Columbia River Gorge. The service was impeccable and really made us feel special. The food we ordered was very good. It was chefy and on the gourmet side which we really liked. There are different activities daily so you can get as involved as you want. You can also choose to not get involved and just have peace and serenity. The fire pits are large with chairs and blankets. There are endless s'mores to enjoy at the fire pit as well. There's cushioned seating under shade sails and we enjoyed live music when we were there. There's also a cornhole game that you can play outside and it is fun. There are telescopes and games inside the lobby that you can use. Our dog was very welcome here as long as she was on a leash. We walked the property and it was about a mile. We did not do any excursions because we live nearby and we can do those anytime. A lot of people went to wineries, alpaca farms, they went into the town of White Salmon, and they did some hiking. For us, we wanted to relax and that's what we did. The beds were very comfortable and there is a propane heater if you go in the winter to keep you warm. They also have hot water bottles to keep you warm. We are definitely going back and maybe even make this a yearly event. If you want to be treated like a royalty, enjoy nature, stare at Mount Hood in all of its Glory, or even drive around in the Mount Adams area and see that magnificent mountain, then you should come to Under Canvas in the Columbia River Gorge.

We have 160 of our friends and family stay at Under Canvas for our wedding weekend in August. To say that it was an amazing experience would be an understatement. Not only was it the best weekend of our lives but I think many of our guests feel the same way. The place is so thoughtfully designed. We had many guests who had never glamped before and had initial concerns about the experience and then left wanting to do it again. The staff is truly one of a kind. They could not have been more helpful, accommodating, and just joyful. We were a really big group with a lot of specific needs and a packed schedule full of meals and activities and they were unwaveringly supportive and fun to work with. They thought of everything from smores in the evening to cold towels for the hot afternoons. They made our guests feel so comfortable and cared for. And to top it all off the views of Mt Hood are spectacular. Having our friends and family be able to gather in such a beautiful place and spend so much quality time together was so unbelievably special. We cannot say thank you enough.

Our stay was magical at Under Canvas! We wanted a camping experience but with modern comforts & Under Canvas delivered. The tents were well appointed with comfortable beds, a lovely fireplace, full bathroom, & breathtaking views of Mt. Hood. You are away from it all, & can unplug. The stars are amazing, you can see the entire Milky Way. The main lobby area had nightly music, S’Mores, food & drinks for purchase which were all delicious. The service was spectacular. Our 8 & 13 year old had the best time! Thank you Under Canvas for a magical experience!

Who would have thought that 2 rainy chilly days in a tent would have been GLORIOUS!!!! We loved everything about this stay...the tent, the setting, the fireplace, the staff, the food, the hot water, the flush toilet, the lantern lit card game. It was just lovely

I really enjoyed my recent stay at this Under Canvas location. The employees were very friendly and helpful. The views of Mt. Hood from my tent and the communal area were absolutely beautiful. There are nice food and beverage options on site. The only downside is that, because this location is on the Washington side, you have to pay a toll to cross the river over to Oregon where a lot of top sights are. I would definitely stay again, though. Every night, there are group activities you can join in on, as well as complimentary s'mores. The bed was very comfortable and I liked the reliability of the propane heater.
