The staff was helpful once we arrived. Getting there was a little hard, since we didn’t have service and didn’t receive the text or email from them until we we already figured it out. However, the tents were clean, the bedding was warm, the beds were comfy, and the views were amazing. We would stay there again 100%.

A must stay!
A must stay! Camping without the need to supply your own tent or sleeping on the floor. Beautiful views, quiet location, clean facilities.

What a great property. Very comfortable beds. Staff was incredibly polite and accommodating. We stayed here on a last minute trip to Yellowstone and I would do it again in a heartbeat.
Doing a cross country road trip and wanted to do some sort of camping like thing while near yellow stone! This place was great, off the grid but with amenities and a grill that’s open 7-9 for breakfast and serves dinner until 9 pm!
Bed was very comfortable and plenty of warm blankets. But my check-in wasn’t noted and then they had me checking out a day late.
I made use of the Dinner option but price wasn’t in line with quality although the food was adequate.
Bathrooms are hard to climb into for short people.
Bed, comforter and pillows were better than some mid-grade hotels we've experienced. Very cozy (we did not get the heater because we like to sleep in a cold environment). Only complaint was from my husband with our king bed. His frame/springs (something) was leaning and rolled him towards the middle.
Had a lovely chat with the cook (L) in the morning while she cooked us breakfast.
Really loved being part of this experience and the good people who come to camp!
Our experience was great. This camp is completely off the grid so be prepared. The beds were comfy, the blankets were warm, the bathrooms were clean. There was a smell to them but not as bad, I was expecting it to be worse. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here
This was a nice site and we did share it with some cows which I loved. The facilities were clean. From our tent it was a little walk but nothing too bad. I had a chicken quesadilla on site which was good. It’s camping with a nice area to eat and play games.

First Time Yurt Experience
This was our first experience staying in a yurt. From the outside, it looked bigger on the website pictures. The inside was spacious enough. My husband is 6'2" so his feet hung slightly off the bed. The bed was comfortable. There were a few bugs inside the yurt but that should be expected. The night sky was beautiful and filled with stars. The shared bathrooms and showers were clean and well maintained. There were cows in the fields close by. The camp does not allow camp fires at your site but has a shared community area with a few pits, a cirn hole and other games. The camp offers breakfast and dinner for a fee. Host were readily available for any assistance or questions we had.

Our bed was not made.up when we got in to our tent. We had to ask for another room. Toilet need a sign how to flush as some campers dont flush toilet as flush is hard to find.
First…I did NOT end up staying here. The reasons being:
-received change of address day of check in
-when I got there (an hour early to be fair, but I thought maybe there was somewhere I could wait in the shade since I had been going all day long) the lady I encountered was unpleasant and told me to wait at the picnic tables…in zero shade while it was hot as heck
-there was NOTHING nearby
-I only saw port a potties and a straight line of tents, meaning a less than average camping stay as if you had a close tent, everyone passed you to get to the toilets…if you had a far tent, you had to pass all the other openings to go to the restroom. I had seen something totally different on the property info page and was less than impressed with this set up
So, I decided to find other places to stay the 2 nights I should have been here. I had to go ti the bathroom and was unsure that would even be allowed until I checked in based on that lady’s attitude. My prior “glamping” experience in Shell was light years above this one

The most fun experience!! Our kids ran around the camp with other kids. Tents are very spacious and comfortable, only downside was the mosquitoes but bug spray fixed that!
The main issue was the heater not working, it was out of propane. So they gave us another one. However, that one also went out in the middle of the night. I explained the situation and he/she kept asking so many questions that were unnecessary since we had asked for a refund for the heater. It was obvious it was also out of propane and they still questioned the time and when it turned on or off.

Our experience was great from the start, We had great communication via text/ emails giving us updates and directions to our site . We arrived pretty late in the evening and got greeted as soon as we pulled in. The canteen on site was a few minutes from closing but the lady was so kind enough to make our family dinner. The camp itself was clean, cute and had amazing views!!

First experience glamping. I would do it again for the price and experience though highway was a little noisy and someone came in at 2 in the morning that was not prepared to find the their space and made a lot of noise too. The bed was great the site visually beautiful the food basic.the staff good and communicative the toilets and showers adequate though pretty far from our site for late night use.

Overall experience was good! We definitely wanted something nicer than camping but reasonably priced and I feel like this was a great choice. They communicated well with us at check-in about all the amenities. One thing to be prepared for is spiders. Yes it is in the wilderness but there were a couple spiders in our tent when we arrived. The showers are pull chains and the supply their own resources so depending if it’s crowded you might not get much hot water or limited showers available. It’s about a five minute drive to get from their entrance to the main highway. The one thing I could really only complain about was the bedding. It smelled clean but looked a little dirty with hairs and stuff on it. If you are going in the summer time and are staying in there during the daytime it will get very hot! Just an FYI for anyone who hasn’t experienced it. We were happy overall with everything and would consider going back. Make sure to check out Yellowstone Playhouse just 10 minutes down the road. They do a show and serve dinner. Such a good family/date night activity!
