DISASTER. I made a reservation for my honeymoon at wandercamp, they canceled it a few days before the date and they still haven't given me a refund. No one answers my emails. PLEASE CONTACT ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

The whole set up was falsely advertised - we were expecting a peaceful ‘wilderness’ experience. The camp is probable less than one mile from the highway as the crow flies and you can hear every vehicle flying down the road. I didn’t sleep a wink on the first night. The tent was okay, looked a bit stained from water ingress, but the bed was clean and comfy. The toilet block was clean but extremely user unfriendly. Steep, unlit steps without a handrail to get in/out and there wasn’t even any hooks to hang clothes, towel etc on. I get that this is an ‘off grid’ project but the solar powered water situation wasn’t good enough - water was lukewarm and the shower mechanism involved holding a pull cord to keep the water flowing. Not very handy!!! The on-site food wagon was NOT on-site which was very disappointing considering the site was still fairly well populated. The overall impression we got from the host was that as it was the last week of the season she had already started closing everything down to the bare minimum and that she just wanted to get back to her home in Vegas ‘before the snow comes’ - her words. When we got up after the first night the tent had let some water in and my wife and I both decided we wouldn’t be coming back for a second night. We booked a hotel for the night.

Horrible

At check in we were greeted by literal children to check us in- maybe 14-15. They told us the tent number but couldn’t tell us which one it was. We get to the tent and it’s a king bed when I booked two twins, we go back and these children tell us to go to another tent that they THINK is available? Finally, they find us a tent bc apparently planning for arrivals that booked two months in advance is really hard. Then we have to go back and ask for the heater and lantern that were advertised bc they aren’t there, the lantern didn’t light anything, it was a cheap one from the dollar tree which the children also had to run all over to find. There are no showers as advertised, no lit paths as advertised, no leather back chairs as advertised, Horrible false advertising across the board. The bathrooms are disgusting, rarely have toilet paper, and won’t lock. Then to top off the whole thing, we needed more propane for the heater we already paid $20 extra a night for and they said we had to pay another $10 bc the propane was supposed to last two nights; the new propane lasted 4 hours on low… so not sure how that’s supposed to keep anyone warm for 2 nights. After looking closer this place has had 12 negative reviews in the last 3 months alone and have blown off multiple other people after they were unhappy.

The good – tents are very comfortable and the bathrooms were fine, if in short supply. The bad – the camp is in a cow pasture that is not remote at all; the road noise was relentless. Then there are the cows. They were eating next to our tent all night, getting caught up in the lines securing the tent and the tent was shaking like crazy...plus they left gifts. Forget about coffee and pancakes; neither of either, which was a bummer. Worst of all, the bathrooms & showers were towed away at 8:45 AM. I was IN the shower when my friend walked up and they were hooking the whole bathroom deal to a truck. The only reason they didn't drive off with me in there was that she saw the guy removing the steps to my door and told him I was in the shower! She wanted to use it next but they said, no, we need to do maintenance on these and off they went. At that point we decided we were not coming back for a 2nd night. I reached out to request a refund & they completely blew me off. I tried emailing, calling, online chatting – nothing. Bummer; seems like a good idea but not well executed at all.

Never Again!

We stayed at wander camp at Glacier before coming here. Similar set up but there tou get 1 trailer of bathrooms/showers so 3 showers and 5 bathrooms for 14 tents. Here you get the same set up for 40 tents. That is just ridiculous. You should set up 3 such trailers for a camp of this size. Then the guy who took the trailer to empty just picked it up at 11am as I was on my way to a shower and said he was coming back in an hour when I asked him. It is 2pm and he is still not back. I went to a grocery store near by (10 min drive) to use the facilities. My wife after weighting for 2 hours gave up and drove to subway to use their bathrooms. Just put up a sign that says bathroom trailer will be gone on this day from this hour to that hour so people can plan around it rather than giving up random times. I went thru burning man in a single tent, i can survive but this experience has been utterly disappointing so far. There is a kitchen trailer which is not being used but the generator of the trailor can be heard across the camp. Never staying here again!!!
