We had a great stay at Under Canvas. I had been emailing with Sam prior to our arrival who was very helpful. Keegan checked us in and was very kind and helpful. The views were amazing. The food was great. We would come back!

Think Again Before Staying Here

We stayed at Under Canvas North Yellowstone this past week in a “Deluxe Tent” with an adjacent kids tent. While the staff was very friendly and helpful, and the amenities were as advertised, we had the absolute worst night sleep here. The tent started out boiling hot so that lighting a fire was not a real option (and there is no way to cool down the tent—opening the “flaps” did nothing except litter our tent and bed with dead bugs who were caught there), and in the very early morning it was absolutely freezing (maybe 40 degrees). The tent was insanely loud in the wind, flapping and squeaking nearly all night. Under Canvas is aware of this issue and gave us junky ear plugs to try to sleep, which did not work. On top of this noise and heat, we had the displeasure of listening to people come and go in cars until very late at night (we heard car doors opening, closing and the little alarm beep of cars being locked) and also had headlights illuminating our tent with each car arrival. Overall, while the idea sounds fun, the experience was AWFUL. The price of the experience only adds insult to injury. We will never stay at an Under Canvas again.

This place is the worst experience we had as a family vacation and I felt I should take the time to let everyone know about this undecanvas location. The tents were hardly in good shape and certainly not very well maintained . But the nightmare was the cold during the nights which could not be overcome by the wood stove and additionally some night the wind was pushing the smoke back in the rooms - I did not take the risk to put my kid in the kid tent which had no heater whatsoever ….. The cold was so bad that we simply decided to leave the place for a bedroom in town …and when we left no one in the hotel staff asked why we were leaving 3 days while we paid for the all period . This tell everything … I noticed going into the views of other travelers that I was not the only one in this case and every time the management answer was just saying they were sorry …. So at 600/700 usd per night for this kind of experience it is a bit expensive ..never again

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. 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

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.
