5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Magical Stay at Sundance by Basecamp Sundance by Basecamp was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. Nestled in a stunning natural setting, it perfectly blends rustic charm with modern comfort. The cabins were cozy, clean, and thoughtfully designed, offering everything we needed for a relaxing getaway — from comfortable beds to breathtaking views right outside our window. What really stood out was the attention to detail. From the welcoming staff to the communal fire pits and curated decor, every element added to the peaceful, outdoorsy vibe. It’s clear that Basecamp puts heart into crafting a unique and relaxing space that connects you with nature while still offering all the amenities you’d want. Whether you're looking for a romantic retreat, a solo recharge, or a base for exploring the Rockies, Sundance is the kind of place you'll want to return to again and again. Highly recommended!

There is nothing around the area. Bring your own food, blankets (they rent them) anything you can think of using for being comfortable. I loved it. This place is designed to live like in the woods with a bit of comfort, but you make the comfort. Amazing place by the river, with excellent Northern Lights view, full moon view and amazing mountains around. Totally recommend for anyone looking to experience camping with comfort. They have shared showers and the cleanliness was above expectations for a place like this. Amazing for kids, family, pets. I totally recommend this experience and this place. They were very informative the whole time. There is a bbq for each tent and heater is also provided. But as I said, if you like comfort, do a bit more of research and bring your own. Even a sleeping bag if needed. We went in september and it was already getting cold so plan in advance.

A beautiful setting. The trapper's cabin tent was great. The staff were friendly and helpful. The sites are lovely. Just two problems: The roads are atrocious. Giant potholes you can fall into in the dark. Second problem: on two occasions in two days no toilet paper in the ladies toilets. Other than that , wonderful.
