Under Canvas, a company in upscale outdoor hospitality, announced the opening of its first Pacific Northwest location, Under Canvas Columbia River Gorge.
Set to begin its inaugural season on May 29, 2025, the camp will operate through October 27, 2025, and reservations are currently open. The 120-acre property is located in Washington’s White Salmon River Valley, offering views of Mount Hood, and is accessible via a one-hour drive along the Columbia River from Portland, Oregon.
Under Canvas Columbia River Gorge will be the company’s 13th camp, featuring luxury canvas tents inspired by safari design. Each tent will include amenities such as a king-size bed, a gas fireplace, and an ensuite bathroom equipped with a pull-chain shower, sink, and flushing toilet.
The camp will also feature a lobby tent with West Elm furnishings, local artwork, and amenities, including a yoga deck, boutique retail, and interactive spaces showcasing books and games from regional artisans. The on-site dining program will focus on seasonal dishes with West Coast influences, utilizing locally sourced seafood, curated wines, and craft beers.
According to a press release, the new camp will provide guests with various recreational options and programs, such as acoustic live music, yoga sessions, children’s activities, and nightly s’mores gatherings. Under Canvas’ Adventure Concierge will assist guests in booking outdoor activities, including rafting, paddleboarding, fishing, guided hikes, and mountain biking, ensuring a comprehensive and tailored outdoor experience.
The company also emphasizes its environmental commitment through its “Mindful Approach” ethos, which informs its development and operational strategies. Under Canvas designs its camps to minimize environmental disturbance, preserve open spaces, and integrate with the natural landscape’s topography.
The brand’s efforts to reduce light pollution, using low-level lighting and other DarkSky development principles, have earned it recognition in the industry, including hosting the world’s first DarkSky-certified resorts.
