Conestoga Ranch is at Bear Lake, known as the Caribbean of the Rockies.

Utah’s most luxurious and popular glamping destination, Conestoga Ranch, is a full-service resort at beautiful Bear Lake that attracts those seeking lake and mountain recreation, as well as a convenient halfway point between Salt Lake City and the Yellowstone National Park area. New offerings this summer that are proving to be popular with guests, include:

• Blue Waters Spa and Wellness Center for massage treatments and yoga practices
• A Conestoga wagon option that comfortably sleeps four with a king-size bed and bunk bed
• Traditional tents with electricity and propane heaters in wagons
• Sunday brunch buffet at the open-air Campfire Restaurant for just $14.95 per person

“We are essentially the only resort located halfway between Salt Lake City and the Tetons and Yellowstone National Park, making us a popular stopover,” says Conestoga Ranch General Manager Clark Thornock. “We also host many visitors taking a side trip from Park City and Salt Lake or who are looking to beat the heat of hotter regional climates with invigorating lake and mountain adventure. Guests enjoy a relaxing stay in our unique, furnished accommodations that come with linens and bath products and array of resort amenities to make their visit convenient and comfortable.”
