Beautiful experience, tent was such a new experience for us and we would absolutely do it again. Bring lots of bug spray for outside, and warm clothes for the late night/early morning. The inside stove helps but it's still cold, great party of the experience. We had the Stargazer tent so amazing! Go back to the main lobby tent every night for smores and meet new people. Just loved all of it.

Everything was well organized. I really enjoyed getting together around the fire with the other "campers" :) The only challenge was the extreme heat, but it did cool down at night.

It was a great unique experience with the additional amenities from other glamping experiences. We loved the private bathroom with hot water and a flushable toilet, smores, lots of firewood provided, kids can run around and play. Things I wished I did: used the earplugs when I slept-I forgot with camping you can hear everything outside of your tent including crying kids and smoke alarms, stocked up on food on the first day.

This is a fantastic idea in theory, however paying $500 and NOT having electricity in West Yellowstone is absurd! It was so cold, which is not UC problem to resolve but they should have electricity and the ability to heat a tent! I paid for the Stargazing tent and the temp dropped to 30 degrees over night so all we could see was frost on the tent! Not someplace I’d spend the money and stay again.

The concept here is a fun one - and the on site staff are doing the best they can to make it enjoyable for folks. However, Under Canvas is a complete rip off and unsafe if temperatures are very cold. Do NOT stay here unless you are absolutely sure it will be at least 40 degrees at night, you have winter camping gear, and/or you like to pay $500 a night to freeze in your tent, hold a lever down to use the shower, and/or get up every hour to feed the stove. This location falsely advertises heat in the tents from the wood stoves — they do not disclose until you check in (and have to sign a waiver at that point — that should be a clue but if you don’t sign, no refund for you!) that in order to keep the tent warm, you have to feed the stove every hour to hour and a half. Otherwise, it’s the same temperature it is outside. This is fine if it’s warm or even cool — but if it’s 25 degrees as it was for us, prepare to be COLD. The property itself is picturesque but a bit dirty and disheveled overall. It’s clear that staff are doing their best but the demands are simply too much. This is the kind of place that charges $500 a night for you to then have to pay to rent a walking stick (give me a break!) Save yourself, book elsewhere. If you want to feel like you are camping, just go camping. The only thing “glamorous” about this is the price tag to sleep in a canvas tent.
