How did Conestoga Ranch Glamping Resort come to be ? Eager to acquaint more families with Garden City , Utah ’ s natural beauty and recognizing the growing popularity of “ glamping ” around the world , five partners developed a luxury camping resort overlooking the vivid blue waters of Bear Lake . They set out to design a glamping destination where families , groups and couples could camp in complete comfort , without having to sacrifice precious vacation time prepping for their outdoor vacation . The partners decided to custom manufacture the unique tents and wagons themselves . The wagons are designed to be the staple of the resort ’ s Old West ambiance .
What makes glamping different than camping ? Glamping is a growing trend in the U . S . and has already been established in many international markets , including Europe . Glamping is derived from the words glamorous and camping . Glamping at Conestoga Ranch is more like staying in a resort versus a campground . We offer the American Safari experience with all the amenities of a full-service hotel , including daily maid service , a restaurant , a front desk , and concierge and valet services .
Tell us about your meeting , event and group accommodations . The Ranch has a dedicated event tent located at one of the highest points with beautiful views of Bear Lake . It can hold up to 100 people and can be set up for wedding ceremonies ,
banquet receptions and conferences . The Ranch ’ s signature restaurant , The Campfire Grill , is available for buyouts and can hold up to 150 people .
What ’ s your favorite weekend activity ? Finding amazing produce at the local farmer ’ s market .
