Excellent
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
We booked this property through Hotels.com and arrived at 10:30 PM to find no one at the front desk. We had to locate another guest who kindly provided us with a phone number to reach the front desk. Eventually, someone arrived and showed us to our accommodation.
Unfortunately, the room conditions were unacceptable:
• No heater
• No hot water in the shower or sink
• No electricity
• Extremely uncomfortable bed
We were freezing throughout the night and could not rest properly. Given that we paid a premium rate for this stay, we immediately requested a refund. However, we were told it was “too late” and that a refund would not be issued.
This response is unacceptable. We expect a full refund due to the lack of basic amenities and the failure to provide what was advertised. Please confirm how you will resolve this matter promptly.
Sincerely,
Alex Sayar

Cool place. Grounds, set-up and vibe is cool. River on grounds is cool. Cold at night/AM and hard to keep warm in tent. Overall, good for a night or two.
The actual facility was nice, the employees were nice. I have stayed at the Grand Canyon facility, and I liked the main tent with the restaurant and the book reading area much better than West Yellowstone, where the main tent was a little boring and I didn’t like Having to go to the log cabin style restaurant that kind of took away from the feeling that we had at the Grand Canyon. And as far as my shabby surroundings comment I couldn’t get over every time we drove in and out from the main highway having to drive by the kind of trailer park area where the employees lived. I think that should’ve been put away in the back of the facilities so when you drove in, you didn’t have to drive by and through that it’s kind of like driving through a ghetto to get to Beverly Hills.
Don’t mean to be rude just being honest I’m sure that’s not gonna change anything. Thank you.
This place is well done. Great check in process with Montana Jim (but takes 20 mins to go through everything so be prepared). It's pretty much what you see in the pics is what you get. The good: if you want a "glamping-style" experience it is. The bad: it's really not very close to Yellowstone, it gets cold at night and the stove in the tent only handles 2 hours at a time, the hot water is only hot, the sink/shower in tent is very basic, the sky-gazer part of the tent has no shade and it gets very bright and very hot in the morning on your face, there's not much to do right at the camp. All in all, fun for 1 night but you better be the hearty-type and ready to keep yourself entertained while there.
Great camping experience for amateurs. We loved the vibes, but our daughter loved it the most. We had a very comfortable stay. Would definitely repeat.
This was a unique experience for my family of four in early July 2025. The staff was very friendly and helpful. While it's hot during the day, West Yellowstone weather will quickly change, and cold will be a whole new experience. A buddy told me the potbelly stove my dry my throat out after having radiation treatments months prior as I continue to heal. We have never felt cold like that and the remaining nights would be with the fire burning to keep us warm. Lesson learned. The key is stoking the fire to get the logs burning just right. They will teach you how to do this during orientation. I recommend the Suite tents that have a sink and shower.
