“Great concept but outdated and overpriced.”
+It's a great concept. The location is good. The vibe is good.
−The cabins are way to old for the price. The bathroom in the cabin needs serious work. The tub didn't drain so when you took a shower the tub filled with 3" of water that brought hair up from the drain. Paper cups and no real coffee maker. This place is way over-priced.

“Family fun place to stay with animals, pool, and places to ride your bike or hike.”
+Activities in the canyon were wonderful. We enjoyed the pool and seeing the goats sheep and Llamas was a new adventure, with a very rigorous climb to the top. The Saturday night music gathering was great. Each Cabin had a barbecue and the roasting of Marsh mellows and hot dogs was a hit.
−We had a older smaller cabin compared to our family members with kids that had newer larger cabins. Bathtub had very high sides. I am the grandmother so it was more challenging. Needed more light in the kitchen. We still had a memorable three days.

“It's such a beautiful, fun place to stay with friends and family!”
+Gorgeous location, warm and helpful staff, cozy cabins, large picnic tables and firepit, great privacy.
−I went to the Canyon Market and bought a small propane canister, bag of marshmallows, box of graham crackers, and 1 bag ice -- I was shocked when the bill came to $47! While the loft in the Corral cabin is fantastic for kids, it wouldn't work well for adults due to low ceilings. Overall, it's pretty pricey (> $1k for 2 nights for the Corral cabin), so unfortunately we won't be able to do it very often. Otherwise we'd be back often!

“Thank you so much a a quiet, welcoming and lovely stay.”
+Quiet, clean and easy to explore. Thank you!
−NA/ currently access to the beach was under construction so we couldn’t go to beach as easily expected from the initial site review but we understand.

“Don't get fooled! Definitely Not Luxury/glamping. Zero Services, Very Outdated & Super Expensive”
+The location was the only good think about it although the facility overall wasn't well maintained.
−The overall experience was horrible, and I feel completely scammed for paying over $400/night for getting zero services, unlike the “4-star” hotel advertisement on Bookings. Here’s why: 1. El Capital was listed as 4 stars, but in reality it isn’t even 2. A cheap roadside motel would’ve been far better. 2. The photos of clean bathrooms and bathtubs didn’t match what we got. We walked into what felt like a century-old, unmaintained shed with flimsy fake-wood walls. Calling this a “King Suite” is very deceptive. 3. The “King Suite” description on Booking.com was inaccurate. There was no telephone, coffee maker, or several other listed amenities. There was only a microwave, a water kettle, and a small fridge, but all the basics were missing (hair dryer, TV, dishes, utensils, stove, or coffee maker). Nothing about this resembled “luxury” or “glamping,” since you had to bring EVERYTHING like regular camping. Compared to real glamping providers, this wouldn’t qualify even by 1920s standards. 4. The Wi-Fi barely worked, yet you had to pay a $15/day “resort fee.” 5. Housekeeping was essentially nonexistent. On day two, someone handed us towels late in the evening and left. No cleaning. We e
