We were given a tent number before arrival. Right before we arrived we received a text message with a new tent number. Once we pulled up to the new tent we quickly realized someone was in there. Spoke to the occupant in that tent and they said the same thing just happened to them. We had to call customer service and get a new tent. They acted as if this were completely normal. Got to the tent, the one solar lamp was completely dead. Had to use out phones for light. Went to the showers, completely cold water. Nothing about this place was enjoyable. Definitely a waste of money and the long drive out. Will never return to this property

This is a very good option if one wants to experience camping without hassles of carrying stuff. The tents and overall arrangements are very nice. Clean beds. Bathrooms are shared but clean with hot water. Provide paid breakfast. Overall it was nice experience. We liked it.

Beds were very comfortable! We paid for a heater that we used for the morning but it was hard to start and went off after a shoperiod. I'm not sure if we got a full propane bottle.
There was no water in the bathromms at night.
If I had stayed there any longer than a day, we would have changed. It wasn’t terrible but not my top choice next visit to the area.

The night sky was AMAZING. The bed was more comfortable than the other hotels we stayed at during any of our trips. We will stay here again. The camping experience under the stars and having a warm comfy bed was perfect

Cool glampning spot. They need parking away from tents. Headlights into your tent all hours of the night.
I was surprised at how cozy the beds are. We rented a porta heater but didn’t use it after all. Place is peaceful and calm; we woke up with cows walking around camp. It was a beautiful experience for our family specially the children. The lady that manages the camp is friendly and warm, she made sure to address everything we would need before she left camp. Would definitely go back when we visit Yellowstone again.
We really enjoyed staying here! Staying in the tent was a unique experience while still being comfortable! The tent was very spacious and the beds were extremely comfortable, especially after a long day of travel!
Good experience overall. The shared restrooms and showers are not that convenient. (The water is not always hot) Good for a short stay and to try the experience of staying out on a tent. The beds are REALLY comfortable. My family and I like staying here.
It is camping, so expect bugs and wind rippling along the tent. Best views ever when you wake up for the sunrise. Bathrooms are clean. Really windy when we were there so no campfire.
Cows are close by in pasture right on property- beautiful to see them, comfortable bed and pillows, friendly staff.

Not worth the money.
We rented two tents for one night on the last part of our Yellowstone trip. We are fairly well-versed in tent, camping and glamping so I was excited to end this trip on a high note.
Unfortunately, I was sorely disappointed. Very little communication came over and advance. I got a text message and an email an hour before arrival that had no specific instructions about where to go beyond the numbers on our tent. There are not great directions on the website and the area around the camp is private so we ended up driving in circles because we could not figure out how to get in based off of GPS directions .
The website makes it look like it is an open field with beautiful views. On the left-hand side is a trailer park and they shot off guns all afternoon. On the right were the beautiful mountaintops so I just turned my chair in that direction during our day. It is also close to main road so we were able to hear trucks passing into the evening
Beyond the entrance was a pop-up tent that they called the kitchen. They will nickel and dime you for everything that you could possibly want, but you didn’t bring with you. There are no amenities at this site beyond a tent and cold water. Ten for a single towel and thirty for a s’mores. Millions of spiders were in and out of our tent. More than normal glamping and it really freaked everyone out. Showers were gross and often closed or too full for use bc there were not enough for size of property.
Property is open space field. Nice view and easy to walk around. Clean area - the only issue was google maps took us to a different location. We were still in the area but at night it was a little difficult to find landmarks. Once located it was easy.
