Nestled in the heart of Southern Utah’s breathtaking canyon country, Ofland Escalante is more than just a place to stay, it’s a destination that celebrates the spirit of adventure, connection with nature, and nostalgia for the classic American road trip. Once known as Yonder Escalante, the property rebranded to Ofland in 2024 and expanded its offerings. Our visit last month was a much needed getaway and we cannot wait to go back!
Ofland offers a variety of accommodations. Visitors can choose from a deluxe cabin, a tiny cabin, a vintage airstream or a campsite. The deluxe cabins include private bathrooms, outdoor showers which are comfortably outfitted with an overhead heater, panoramic views, kitchenettes, and drive-up parking. They’re spacious enough for up to four guests and perfect for families or retreating with friends. The tiny cabins are compact but stylish- these 320 sq. ft. cabins have lofty 11-ft. glass walls and are nestled near communal bathhouses with heated outdoor showers. One ADA-accessible cabin caters to guests with mobility needs . The vintage airstreams are a nod to retro road-tripping. These trailers sleep up to three, offer modern comforts, and share access to the bathhouse and outdoor showers. The campsites accommodate tents, pop-up campers, or vans (under 13 ft.), and come with grills, filtered water, power hookups, picnic tables, and access to hotel facilities.
Ofland excels at offering bespoke, nature-focused experiences mixed with comfort. We had a great time at their on-site drive-in theater, watching Back to the Future under the stars while sitting in one of their restored vintage cars. An airstream serves as a concession stand offering free popcorn as well as a variety of drinks and snacks. The outdoor lodge and general store includes a communal space for coffee, snacks, games, and connection. The pool was perfect for daily lounging and the oversized hot tub offered a refreshing retreat after our hike through Lower Calf Creek Falls.
Food options at Ofland include an on-site food truck, which surprisingly whipped up one of the best breakfast sandwiches we’d ever eaten! The General Store is stocked with snacks, grab-and-go items, and local beverages. For us, the best food option was Ofland’s DIY meal kit which are delivered right to your cabin or campsite. Each kit includes a pre-seasoned protein- we chose the locally sourced Kanab steaks, two vegetable sides, choice of bread and a S’mores kit. The staff brings you everything you need to prepare and cook the meal on the grill and then returns later to collect all the dirty dishes.
The property is committed to reducing single-use plastics, has partnered with local vendors, collaborates with indigenous communities, and showcases a short film on the importance of dark-sky preservation before nightly movie screenings .
Ofland Escalante isn’t your average hotel. Just under five hours from Vegas, Ofland is a thoughtfully crafted gateway into Utah’s canyonlands. Whether you're drawn by the glamping-style cabins, nostalgic drive-in movies under star-filled skies, or freedom to explore landscapes both rugged and sublime, this place delivers an immersive, comfortable, and memorable mountain‑west experience.
