Forget Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, I'm Going To Go 'Star Wars' Glamping

I have a confession to make: I hate camping. I do not go out into the great outdoors unless it involves visiting Disney World or Disneyland. Animal Kingdom is my idea of roughing it, y’all. That’s why you’ll never find me pitching a tent at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground. NOT. FOR. ME.

BUT…I just learned about a glamping opportunity (that’s glamorous camping, where you have a more luxury kind of camping experience that doesn’t usually involve waking up with insects or animals inside your tent with you). It’s Star Wars-themed, and y’all…I kinda want to go. No. I REALLY want to go.

Okay, so there’s this place called Outpost X in Beryl, Utah, and it’s located in an area that could literally pass for Tattooine. So you can go glamping there and live out your best Star Wars fantasies OUTSIDE of a Disney park. You can even rent out your own Tattooine-like cave that comes with a full kitchenette, heated blankets, heating, and a/c — all the comforts of home. But you’ll be sleeping IN A TATTOOINE-LIKE CAVE. Luke Skywalker never had it so good.

But there’s more! Because you also get access to landspeeders — LANDSPEEDERS. These are vehicles that you can literally ride around in the desert surrounding Outpost X. I cannot stress that enough — you can ride on landspeeders. You certainly can’t do that at Disney. Granted, these are wheeled vehicles, but they look like landspeeders and that’s pretty epic.

There’s also a spa, trampolines, fire pits, and all kinds of other glamping amenities. If you love food and cooking, like I do (I mean, look where I work), you can even book a culinary experience, where all the ingredients and recipes for your meals during your stay are waiting on you in your cave (or tent, or whatever you book). Like I said earlier, you’ve got a full kitchenette, so they just make it easy.

There’s even a game room with a custom game table, board games, and a PS5 where I can play Star Wars Outlaws to my heart’s content. Okay, DREAM vacation (my idea of enjoying free time usually involves my Xbox, after all).

Feeling a little thirsty? Drop by the cantina, where I bet it’s WAY easier to get into than Oga’s Cantina. Now, you won’t find aliens pouring your drinks: this is a self-serve bar with “clues and surprises for an immersive mocktail experience.”

If you REALLY want to get into the whole Star Wars vibe, you can also rent costumes. If you choose to rent some outfits, you’ll get some mix and match items like scarves, tops, and bottoms. However, it does look like you can bring your own costumes, too, because we found these photos on the Outpost X website of some Star Wars cosplayers. (YO! CHECK OUT THAT SWEET CAD BANE!) Did I mention I cosplay Jyn Erso and Hera Syndulla? THINK OF THE PHOTO OPS, PEOPLE.

So I never got to check out the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser during its short time in Disney World because I found the price prohibitive. However, Outpost X is way more affordable, especially if you bring along friends. A cave goes for around $390 per night, although you can rent out the entire property for $5000 per night. Day passes are also available.

So if you’re looking for a fun and unique Star Wars-themed adventure, it might be time to make a trip to Utah for some Star Wars glamping. I’ll see you there — May the Force be With You.
