Under Canvas

Under Canvas Inc.’s Glamping project, along with the Moose Creek Glamping expansion proposals would have had a combined occupancy of over 300 people in the small, tranquil corridor that is frequented by wildlife. These glampgrounds are spillover from Teton County, WY where the standards for campgrounds are way more stringent, requiring at least 70 acres and being prohibited in wildlife habitat areas. The Moose Creek ranch glampground proposal has been postponed twice now and has not yet been officially rescheduled for a public hearing. Under Canvas Inc. pulled its proposal.

We are opposed to Teton County granting a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for Under Canvas Inc. to operate a luxury glampground at this location. We have submitted this 13-page comment letter to Teton County outlining our points of concern and opposition. The idea of the glampground itself has merit, but the fragile nature of the proposed location will irreparably degrade Moose Creek Canyon and forever change the entire south end of Teton Valley.  As outlined in our recent“Tamp the Glamp” newsletter, we are deeply concerned with the cumulative impacts from the recent wave of glamping proposals popping up throughout Teton County, particularly with these two glampgrounds seeking approval in the environmentally significant Moose Creek canyon.
