This was a fun experience of camping in comfort! The beds were so comfortable. We were worried about being too cold at night, as we came at the end of the season. However, the amazing beds and extra blankets kept us warm, and we slept very well. Bathrooms were clean and showers were hot. A fun way to "camp" near Yellowstone!

We were amazed by how luxurious the accommodations were for a tent. The staff was friendly and talked to everyone around the campfire. It was a good family atmosphere. Just as we arrived at our tent a moose walked in to greet us. You won’t get that at a hotel!

We loved staying in the bell tent. It was a very unique experience. It was clean and the staff was excellent. The only negative was the noise of the road traffic nearby. I would stay again!

I appreciated that they offered extra blankets as it was very cold at night despite bing summer and also having my own one with me. For some reason I didn't think the tent would be really open all the around the bottom for technically many kinds of animals being able to crawl/walk/slither in. We still had a special experience for that one night. It was fun to sit at the fire and show our overseas guests how to make smore's

This property was overall a joy to stay at. I only have a few gripes for my stay. One, the showers are a bit on the smaller side and that’s expected for where the property is located. Next, the water pressure of the shower isn’t the best, if it was better, I probably wouldn’t have had any issues with the property large enough to dissuade me from giving it five stars. Finally, the proximity of the interstate can make falling asleep a bit hard at times, however, these are all small issues at the end of the day. The staff was kind, the living spaces look exactly as advertised and I left the property satisfied.

Unique Experience
We stayed in a Yurt, the place was very spacious and comfortable. Only at night in was very cold inside, need some kind of heating. The grass was over grown, showers and bathroom very clean but needs a little attention the shower knobs which were overs flowing.

First time sleeping in a tent, it was what I expected. The beds are nice and cozy and really warm! The blankets they provide are great. Can still be cold, so need to pack warm clothes.

The tent was very comfortable and surrounded by trees. Although the campground was quiet, you could hear the highway traffic. The grounds were poorly maintained with inadequate mowing around tents and on paths.

Beds were really comfortable. Lots of room to move around and relax. We also loved looking up at the stars at night through the plastic panels of the tent. My only complaint is that we couldn’t use our cook stove by our tent. It’s a little inconvenient having to bring our food/coffee over to the communal area to cook. However I do understand that they don’t want someone accidentally starting a fire.

The Great Outdoors
We absolutely loved our stay! We stayed for 4 nights. We actually choose this place over a hotel that was 5 mins from Yellowstone (which is where we spent most of our time) because we wanted to experience the glamping for the first time. Let me tell you it did not disappoint. Our first night we took the top window covers down and got a surprise thunder and lightning storm and watched it from inside the tent! So awesome. Our second morning we had a moose run behind our tent!!! We got the luxury family tent F9 spot. We were away from other tents which was so nice. The community fire was a fantastic idea and my little one enjoyed the s'mores. Just our personal opinion would be if the weeds/wildflowers around the tent were pushed back about a foot so you could get around the tent to open the windows. We did that in the mornings to air our the tent. Maybe a couple more bathrooms closer to the family tents. I would recommend shower stalls with just a shower and sink and no bathroom but again that's just a personal opinion. Definitely will do this again if we come back in the area. Thank you Starlight Retreat for a great experience!
