Invest in Deep Sky Resort
Reasons to Invest
Deep Sky provides a convenient, affordable, and comfortable getaway that is just a short drive from Southern California's major population centers. This makes it an attractive destination for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life without having to travel far.
As the glamping market in the USA continues to grow rapidly, we believe that changing attitudes towards travel, remote work, and domestic exploration are the driving forces behind this trend. In response to these shifting attitudes, Deep Sky has created a unique experience that caters to guests' specific preferences, allowing them to tailor their relaxation to their individual tastes.

Glamping market problems
While the Glamping Market is growing and gaining share, there are still substantial issues that Deep Sky Resort aims to solve.
Variety of accommodations
There are not enough glamping sites on the US market that can offer interesting and unique glampings, including original design solutions and various types of retreat activities.
Limited Self-Guided Tour Opportunities
Most glamping sites, if they have activities at all, do not offer pre-booking.
Lack of differentiation for levels of interaction with guests and staff
Most glamping sites lack opportunities for guests to socialize together or to keep private
