What our guests says about facilities

El Capitan Canyon offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Cozy Cabin Vibe

The Creekside Cabin we stayed in was beautifully decorated and provided ample space for our family. The separate loft area was perfect for our kids, allowing them their own space to play and sleep comfortably. We felt right at home.

BBQ Delight

The tri-tip BBQ kit we ordered was a highlight of our stay! The portion sizes were generous and everything tasted delicious. Having it delivered to our cabin was the icing on the cake. Perfect for a family cookout!

Biking Fun!

The complimentary bikes made our trip even more enjoyable! We rode through the beautiful trails and it allowed our kids to explore freely. It was the perfect way to enjoy the fresh air while seeing the gorgeous surroundings.
