Ofland Escalante
A reimagined outdoor lodging experience in Southern Utah, featuring Airstreams, modern cabins and RV camping sites on the grounds of an old drive-in movie theater. Ofland provides easy access to Bryce Canyon, Escalante, and Capitol Reef.

Located along scenic Highway 12 near Bryce Canyon National Park and within Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, Ofland Escalante embodies memories of the Great American West.
The property features 10 custom Airstreams, 23 modern cabins and 60 RV camping sites with full hook-up. The accommodations provide unobstructed 360-degree views of surrounding cliffs and terraces. Residing in the former location of the Shooting Star RV Park, Ofland includes 2,000 square feet of communal space and an Anacapa Architects-designed clubhouse and bathhouse, general store, drive-in movie theater, resort pool, spa quality hot tub and bonfire pits.
Every experience within the park is distinctive: drive-in movies watched from the comfort of a restored classic car (Read: Beyond Sundance), dinner cooked over an open fire with a Ofland crafted BBQ kit and complimentary s'mores roasted in the glow of nightly bonfires under the stars that illuminate the Southern Utah desert sky. The centralized clubhouse offers a collection of vinyl records, books and board games, while the general store is stocked with provisions and sundries. Within the region, visitors can enjoy hiking, biking, kayaking, fishing and more.
Ofland is a roughly 5-hour drive from Salt Lake City and Las Vegas and a 7.5-hour drive from Phoenix. To make a reservation, visit ofland.com or call (435) 274-7222.
