I stayed at Under Canvas Yellowstone West after previously staying at Under Canvas Zion and loving the experience, so when we were in Montana, we definitely wanted to stay a few nights—and overall, it was a good experience. It’s very peaceful and relaxing. The furnished tents are beautiful, and I loved having a fireplace along with a private bathroom and shower inside the tent—it really elevates the glamping experience. We visited in July, and surprisingly, it was quite cold and rainy most of the time. Even with the weather, we still had a great time. A few things to note: it is a bit farther from Yellowstone National Park than expected, so plan for some extra driving. I also wish they had offered more activities for the Fourth of July. Additionally, unlike the Utah location, there isn’t food available in the main area, so if you’ve stayed at the one in Zion, just know this location has a different vibe. We did have a few small issues with the fireplace in our tent and a couple of other minor things, but management was responsive and able to support us, which we appreciated. Overall, a good experience, and I would still recommend it if you’re looking for a unique and peaceful stay near Yellowstone.

“Stunning views and bonding family experience”

This was the first time our family of four has gone camping of any sort. The staff was wonderful, the views were amazing, and the live music and cute events at night were great.

This was the first time our family of four has gone camping of any sort. The staff was wonderful, the views were amazing, and the live music and cute events at night were great. The kids loved building the fire in our stove at night. Just be prepared to be cold, my husband and I handled it but my 7 and 8 year olds were pretty miserable come morning. It got down to 35 one night. I appreciated the warm water bottles for the bed and extra blankets. But overall it was such an incredible experience to be together. My one recommendation is if you have kids, young kids and it’s going to get cold at night, three nights are probably good- I booked too many- And if you have young kids, I’d recommend the bigger suite tent vs the kids tent, the pull out couch worked great! Thank you so much for the memories and the amazing service! It’s a must experience and we will go again to another location for sure! (With warmer PJs ) lol

“Unpleasant Surprises...Brrrrrrr”

BEWARE: The tents are NOT wired for electricity (110V). They provide you with small power bank to charge your USB devices (phone, watch, etc) and power a very VERY tiny fan (fits in the palm of your hand). You must swap out the power banks daily.

BEWARE: The tents are NOT wired for electricity (110V). They provide you with small power bank to charge your USB devices (phone, watch, etc) and power a very VERY tiny fan (fits in the palm of your hand). You must swap out the power banks daily. For CPAPs, they have larger power banks good for about 5 to 6 hours. The only heat source is a wood stove that (due to the wood being supplied) will burn out in about 2-3 hours, requiring you to either 1) wake up add wood to it every couple hours or 2) freeze your face off. This could be partly remedied by supplying oak to burn, but that's not gonna happen. None of this would be a problem IF they clearly disclosed it on their website, but they don't! The sinks are way to small to use without making a mess. Be prepared to take a sailor's shower as all plumbing comes with spring-loaded knobs to prevent long running water. The bed was comfortable and had plenty of covers to keep your body warm, but with temperature swings of 40+ degrees (in July!), it gets VERY cold at night even if it's hot during the day. If the stove goes out, you'll wake up with frozen eyeballs. It appears the stovepipe is too small for the opening in the canvas it passes through OR a key piece of hardware is missing to completely seal the hole. There's not much point to having bug screens on the windows and doors when the horseflies and mosquitoes can fly right through the hole in the side of your tent. The reservation site made it look like we were reserving a yurt-style tent, but this was just a plain retangular tent. Not sure why that matters other than it just seems like one more think being misrepresented on their website. Oh, and the en suite toilet isn't exactly private. Think of the toilets you use in multi-stall public restrooms. These are nice normal toilets, but if you dread your partner hearing all of your bathroom noises, these are NOT the toilets for you. On a more positive note, the staff was absolutely a delight. Service, in that regard, was as expected given the price point of these accomodations. They could stand to have a greater variety of snacks and drinks available in the "lobby", but the overall vibe of the place is pretty cool. We saw many families enjoying themselves around the gas campfires, roasting marshmallows. If they could fix the heating issue, I would consider staying again, but otherwise, it's not worth the money.
