Really enjoy the Under Canvas experience. Staff was polite and accommodating. Food at Embers was good. The facility is too close to highway so it takes some getting use to the loud road noise

I booked this stay as part of a larger trip including Canada for my husband's 40th birthday. When we first arrived, we were greeted and instructed on the use of our wood burning stove and shower. We were then escorted up to the parking area and rode a golf cart to our tent with our luggage. The tent we stayed in was the deluxe which included a toilet, shower, and sink. This was definitely worth the extra money. The shower is as you would expect a pull chain, on a timer type shower. The water did get very warm, but would get cold requiring you to pull the chain again. However, it was still pleasant at the end of the day after hiking and activities. (Make sure to start your fire first so you can warm up immediately) The bed was very comfortable and the room had plenty of seating both inside and out with areas to hang your stuff. Charging stations were offered for your phones as well as battery powered lanterns that provided ample light. It did get chilly overnight (in the 50's) but there were plenty of blankets on the bed and with the wood burning stove, we stayed pretty comfortable. In fact, I got hot eventually under all the blankets. I read other reviews and people complained about traffic noise and the train. Yes, you're right off Hwy 2 and there is traffic, but not as much towards the evening and I didn't wake up at night to the sounds of traffic. There are trains that go through the area fairly regularly (including overnight) and they are required to blow their horn, but honestly I find it soothing and if you hike enough you'll be passed out anyways. That's the point, isn't it? Haha! I thought this was the best of both worlds, some camping and a real bed. There is NO electricity, but I had fairly good cell service the whole time. You cannot have any food in your tent, but definitely pack snacks and leave them in your car. For all you coffee drinkers, my husband and I packed a tiny camping can and little mount that you put a fire starting cube underneath (I'm not sure of what they're called officially) and we packed our own coffee and powdered creamer. We made our own coffee in the tent because I didn't want to walk down to the reception area at 0430 or 0500. They do have coffee that early, but I preferred making it in our tent and drinking it outside in my pjs and coat. I will definitely stay at Under Canvas again. Any bad reviews they get is because the people don't pack for the weather, understand what camping is, and have hotel expectations.

We expected a quiet nature experience and what we got was traffic noise and trains all night long. Many times it was as though the train was right next to your tent. No nature or stars at night. Staff were more focused on visiting with each other rather than attending to their customers.

Love the comfort, proximity to National Parks, activities, food and beverages - nothing like sitting outside in nature around a campfire after hiking all day and sharing stories of your travels with fellow campers. The beds are so comfortable and warm and the wood burning stove an added treat for the smell and warmth. Love being outdoors even when returning from a day full of exploring nature.

The tent was great, staff were great, but it was just too loud. Seems like very poor planning to put a campsite directly on a highway. (You literally turn off the highway, go over a speed bump, and you're in the campground.) Couldn't get a good night's sleep due to the highway traffic and train noise. Also it's surrounded by dive bars and on Saturday night we were kept up until after 1am by music from two neighboring establishments. (And we had an early start the next morning on a long hike.) Shame on me for not reading more reviews or looking more closely at the location- I would never choose to camp right next to a highway, and especially not for $300+ a night. I've heard that other Under Canvas locations are great, so I may look into them in the future, but I would not recommend this one to anyone looking to sleep well on their trip to Montana.
