I loved the location, the view, the quietness. Loved the checkin lady and Madison who worked at the restaurant. It was 3 min past 9pm when the restaurant closed, and she still helped me with a glass of wine. Loved most of the experience there, however, for people who can't leave and want to just stay put, we felt the restaurant should be open from 7-11pm. Since we're so far out and not allow food in out tents etc. Also it doesn't get dark till 1045pm. Also the bed was very hard and springs in the back...didn't sleep too well.. sorry! but it all was great! thank you and we'll try the other ones!
Wow! We loved our experience at Under Canvas North Yellowstone! The tents were pristine, the food was fantastic but most of all we loved gathering at the community area at the end of the day to enjoy the fires, music, conversation and festivities. For 2 families of 2, we rented the family tent with the additional kids tent and took turns staying in each - what a wonderful experience! Our 13-year old boys wished we had stayed longer. They loved meeting other kids and playing football and roasting smores.
Thanks for having us! We will be back!
This resort had the potential to wow but alas it stopped short and our experience was one of disappointment that Under the Canvas didnât take all the ingredients to make this magical.
The highlights: the setting is stunning in Paradise Valley, all accommodations avail of this natural beauty so this isnât unique to this resort. The startgazer viewing from the Perspex section of the tent was stunning.
The lowlights: lack of tranquility, noise (local music venue playing until midnight and speaker playing in neighboring tent), the use of plastics and cardboards (bowls, cutlery, cups for soft and alcoholic drinks) is not environmentally conscious or sustainable practice (many were visible in the trash and not recycled in the compostable bin), litter in the common areas (plastic cutlery, sâmores wooden sticks), the Perspex star viewing screen in tent was covered in dirt and tents were congested which gave this a quantity over quality feel.
We didnât not feel there was value for money & do not plan to stay at an Under the Canvas resort again.
My husband and I stayed for our anniversary and it was just perfect! We love the idea of camping without having to set up the tent and bring the sleeping bags! And the bed was very comfortable! We will definitely be back!
Loved the property. Did not like that the girls at reservation desk never called me about available activities after asking. They seemed to be unfriendly to us. The male staff were excellent with my boys. Even gave them marshmallows to go on our last day.
Under Canvas was a very unique experience! My boys loved staying in a teepee, and my husband and I loved having a space to ourselves. The food was great! The staff was so helpful and they went above and beyond! We would definitely recommend staying if you are close to one. It was a truly amazing experience!
I had a wonderful stay at Under Canvas North Yellowstone, which stands out for its intimate and personal atmosphere. The smaller size of the camp made the experience feel cozy and exclusive, allowing for personalized attention from the friendly and knowledgeable staff. They provided excellent recommendations and support for exploring the beautiful surrounding area. Additionally, the proximity to the charming town of Livingston added to the experience, offering a fascinating glimpse into local culture and history. This stay was a perfect blend of personalized service, adventure, and the charm of a small town.
The grounds and lobby were beautiful. They're on a river and the tents are immaculate. The few things that I didn't think were great might not be an issue if you're traveling as just a couple rather than a family.
1) The gravel road leading to the property wasn't in great shape. It could be pretty easily smoothed out but we arrived at night and it was a pretty rocky and uneven road to get to the lobby.
2) The entire facility is based on a communal concept which makes a lot of sense. But they have too few fire pits given the amount of advertising they have around the s'mores. I believe they have 40 plus tents but they only have four fire pits at night for everyone to share. I've been to other tent experiences that are similar to this Under the Canvas, but they either have had individual fire pits at each tent or a larger number at the lobby.
3) The in-tent heaters are very nice but are relatively impractical. Even when filled to capacity, they may only provide about 45 minutes of heat. I think they could explore other eco-friendly options that might burn slower but for longer.
4) More drinking options. It was nice that they had a couple. But it's such a beautiful area, you should be able to pick from more than two beers to enjoy after a long day of hiking. Especially given that there isn't anything within 30 minutes of the property.
