Fantastic experience at a great price!

Wonderful property and staff. Instructions and directions were clear. Property was easy to find and in great location at a terrific price. Within 20 minutes of Yellowstone, restuarants, and shops. Safari tent was nice with comfortable beds and bedding. Nights were chilly but plenty of blankets were provided that kept us perfectly warm. Staff is friendly and helpful and work hard to keep the property in great condition. Bathrooms were clean and stocked and plenty of towels provided. Loved our stay, would definitely stay again when back in the area.

We would stay here time and time again. I love that we got the camping experience without all the stress of packing/setting up/putting away camp gear! The beds and linens were so comfortable. Staff was super nice and even got a fire going after a big storm. Loved it and wk recommend to all our friends!

Family teepee was a good size, clean and well stocked with blankets. Staff was great and the bonfire with smores was fun. Cornhole, tether ball and swings were fun. Restrooms and showers were clean and there were a good number of them. Great experience!

We stayed in a family Bell tent and it was awesome, best beds of our 19 days of travel. Star gazing through the ceiling windows, flowers out the front door. The community fire gave us connection & conversations plus s’mores, delightful. Thank you staff.

Charming. Very clean. Mattresses felt brand new and so comfy. There was so much going on and things to do at the campground, my kids never once complained about the lack of electronic use. Of our 8 day road trip, this was our very favorite night.

Disliked: Amenities
Tent and beds were great! Really enjoyed the atmosphere! Met great people at the campfire! The bathroom and shower trailer accommodations were subpar and not sufficient for the amount of people staying. 2 out of 3 shower attempts there was no hot water. These were not during peak times (one late at night and one early morning). Improve these accommodations and its a 5star!!!

A great ‘camping’ experience

If you want a camping experience but you get to sleep in a real bed, this is it. Plus for a camping-like situation, the bathrooms are AMAZING. The nightly s’mores make this a winner too!
