"Set on 120 forested acres in Washington’s White Salmon River Valley, this Under Canvas outpost felt tailor-made for soft-adventurists like me who want creature comforts with a nature fix. I stayed two nights with my husband and two kids in the Mount Hood Suite Tent—two safari-style tents joined by a deck and outdoor lounge that offered an epic view of Mount Hood—and appreciated the spacious tents outfitted with West Elm furnishings, bedside lanterns, USB charging packs, gas fireplaces, and en suite bathrooms with hot pull-chain showers, sinks, and flushing toilets. The camp is about 80 miles northeast of Portland (roughly a 90-minute drive from PDX without traffic) and works well as a base for biking along the Columbia River, kayaking or fishing the White Salmon River, or paddleboarding and windsurfing near Hood River, with breweries, wineries, and orchards close by for day trips. There’s no Wi‑Fi or screens, so guests ranged from toddlers to octogenarians; multigenerational families and friend groups enjoyed hot showers, clean sheets, outdoor fireplaces for s’mores, board games in the spacious lobby, and on-site programming like meditation and yoga. The staff were helpful organizing excursions and the kids loved summer-camp–style activities (making Father’s Day cards and charm bracelets, cornhole, and root beer floats). The property offers accessible tents, restrooms, and parking, but much of the terrain is rugged dirt or gravel, so contact the property if you have accessibility concerns. Rates start from $229." - Julia Cosgrove
"The newly opened Under Canvas property felt like a dreamy, immersive stay in luxe safari tents furnished by West Elm, offering front-row views of Mount Hood and a wilderness-forward glamping experience." - Jessica Chapel
"Think wilderness immersion—minus the roughing it. Each large, safari-style tent sits on an elevated private deck and brings real comforts (king bed, USB charging ports, flushing toilet, and an ensuite with a hot pull-chain shower), while an Adventure Concierge lines up hiking, rafting, fishing, and winery visits across a wine country dotted with 10 vineyards within 10 miles. Traveling as a crew? Book the Mount Hood Suite Tent—two tents joined by a private deck with an outdoor lounge—for Cascades majesty that’s remarkably accessible." - Todd Plummer
"A seasonal glamping property open from late spring to October that immerses guests in the gorge with stylish tent accommodations, hilltop views of Mount Hood near White Salmon, locally sourced food, nightly s’mores, and curated programming such as live music." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"Opening May 29, 2025 on 120 acres in Washington’s White Salmon River Valley near B Z Corner, this safari-inspired tented camp will offer 50 tents—most sleeping two, with some deluxe units for up to six—each fitted with king-size beds and high-end linens, a gas fireplace, an en suite bathroom with shower and toilet, a private porch, and select tents with stargazing windows above the bed. A central lobby tent will house an on-site experience coordinator to help plan mountain biking, rafting, and winery outings, and will host morning yoga, grab-and-go meals, and a cafe-style eatery. Bookable for the May–October 2025 season starting at $299 per night, the property will be the brand’s first Pacific Northwest venue and its 12th overall; its sister Lake Powell–Grand Staircase property earned a DarkSky Lodging certification in 2023. Although not adjacent to a national park (Mount Rainier is about three and a half hours away), the site sits under an hour from the Columbia River’s dramatic cliffs and Multnomah Falls." - Bailey Berg
