Some places feel like a vacation. Others feel like stepping through a portal into another world. Outpost X, a Sci-Fi themed glamping experience located in Beryl, Utah, just outside Cedar City, invites guests to leave the ordinary behind and enter a universe built around adventure, imagination, and connection.
Set against an expansive playa and endless desert skies, Outpost X leans fully into its Sci-Fi inspiration without losing the comfort and warmth that make a getaway truly enjoyable. The experience is intentionally designed to feel immersive, a place where guests can unplug from modern chaos and reconnect with nature, creativity, and each other. It’s not about roughing it; it’s about discovering a different way to travel, one that blends exploration with relaxation in a setting that feels almost otherworldly.
The accommodations themselves feel like outposts from another realm. Guests can choose from several unique unit types, each designed to make the stay feel like part of the adventure. The original Cave Suites offer a cozy, futuristic atmosphere with sculpted interiors that feel both grounded and imaginative. Geodesic Domes invite guests to sleep beneath the stars while still enjoying modern comfort, creating an experience that feels equal parts shelter and observatory. Viking Tents bring a spirit of adventure with their rugged yet welcoming design, while the newest Cave Villa units, located out on the playa, include private loft spaces that elevate the experience even further, giving guests their own quiet corner of the desert to take in sunrise and sunset views.
While the stays themselves are memorable, Outpost X shines because of the experiences built around them. Guests are encouraged to participate, explore, and connect. One of the most popular add-ons is the Culinary Experience, which includes three meals per day in a single package. Instead of traditional dining, meals are designed to be cooked over an open fire, transforming dinner into an interactive activity. Cooking together, sharing stories, and enjoying food in the desert air becomes a highlight of the stay. The Cantina serves as a shared prep space and gathering point, complete with mocktails and lounge seating that naturally bring people together, a central hub where strangers quickly become fellow travelers.
Wellness is another key part of the Outpost X experience. The X-Spa features a hot tub, cedar sauna, and cold plunge, offering guests the chance to recharge after a day of exploring. Soaking beneath a sky filled with stars feels almost surreal, reminding you just how quiet and expansive the desert can be. It’s the kind of moment that makes time slow down, encouraging guests to be present instead of rushing to the next thing.
For those looking to explore the landscape, signature sand cruisers allow guests to roam the property in a fun, playful way. Cruising across the desert adds to the Sci-Fi atmosphere, turning a simple ride into part of the story. Every detail at Outpost X feels intentional, designed to spark curiosity and bring out a sense of adventure.
Creativity is also woven into the experience through the Kaan Lounge, a gathering space featuring Moroccan-style seating, low ambient lighting, and areas dedicated to art and music. Guests can paint, play instruments, or simply relax and take in the atmosphere. The lounge becomes a space where conversations flow easily, and creativity naturally emerges, whether you’re traveling with friends or meeting fellow explorers for the first time.
What guests often remember most about Outpost X isn’t just the unique design or amenities, it’s how the experience makes them feel. The property is built around the idea of unplugging and reconnecting, encouraging visitors to slow down and enjoy simple moments.
Outpost X offers a destination that feels worlds away while still being accessible for a weekend escape or a longer adventure.

If you’ve ever wanted to step into a galaxy not so far away, one filled with creativity, adventure, and wide-open skies, Outpost X proves you don’t need to travel across space to find it. Sometimes, the best journeys begin right here on Earth.
Outpost X turns the desert into a Sci-Fi escape where adventure, connection, and stargazing create memories that feel completely out of this world.
