Green efforts
The brand’s ‘mindful approach’ ethos will be present throughout the camp’s design including pull chain showers, low-flow toilets and rechargeable battery pack charging in tents to minimise energy use and carbon footprint.
The camps are designed to flow with the natural topography of the land to eliminate unnecessary earthwork. The brand’s commitment also includes efforts to minimise overall environmental footprint in the areas of waste management, water use, and special lighting to mitigate light pollution.
Montana trio
Matt Gaghen, CEO of Under Canvas, said: “We are thrilled to be opening our third Montana camp, and second outside Yellowstone National Park. Montana is such a special place, with wild, natural beauty, and each of our properties has something unique to offer.
“It’s incredibly meaningful for us to announce this exceptional location where Under Canvas first started and welcome guests to this spectacular site that is so conveniently located near multiple bucket list Montana destinations.”
Also in progress for the group is Ulum Moab in Utah, the first site for this safari-inspired, outdoor resort brand. The 50-key resort will be carefully integrated into 200 acres of desert landscape by March 2023. Accommodation tents will be accompanied by luxury hotel amenities such as dipping pools and upscale dining.
