We only stayed one quick night but the beds were surprisingly super comfortable. It was a bit dusty getting in, and I can imagine that at certain times of the day/year that it may be very hot or cold, but if you’re looking for upgraded camping, this is your spot!

Marketing Photos look great…
The location is great and the on-site staff, when they are there, it was very helpful and the beds were comfortable. Communicating when on site staff is not there was difficult and it Seems like the the off site personnel Do not really know how the property is run. Overall, I would probably not stay here again.

I read some of the reviews after booking and started to get nervous the closer it got to the trip. Once we arrived my wife and I were impressed. The location was peaceful. The tent was clean and so were the showers/bathrooms. The type of accommodations was better than the rustic cabins we have stayed in before. I would recommend this place if you want the camping experience without the downsides to camping such as set up and lack of showers/bathroom. We would consider staying again if we do another Yellowstone visit.

Outside of Yellowstone camp stay
It was a decent first time experience in a tent. I wish they had a working hot water in the shower cabins though. In both days of the stay it was intermittent on and off. Mostly off. The GPS location provided at hotels.com didn’t match the actual site. It was a mile down south on Old Hwy 191. Also, there was no electronic way to pay for wood fireworks. It seemed everything was done through cash transactions while the onsite attendant was there. Also, I wished Wander Camp had a lit welcome sign for those checking in late in the evening during the dark hours. It will make the experience much easier. Overall, one unique experience but wouldn’t do it again. Those little things make or break the deal.

Great place to stay!
Beautiful and comfortable place to stay. Clean bathrooms, pull function showers. They didn’t really get hot but how often do you have a shower available while camping? We had so much fun here and definitely will be back!

The single lantern was not sufficient and put out minimal light. Although this solar light was LED, it was terribly weak. It had a back up battery compartment with no batteries. Really need better lighting for you clients. The lantern idea is fine, but it needs to put out light. Bathroom trailers were fine, but the steps were difficult for my older brother. Beds were warm and comfortable. I would stay again. It rained hard over night and we were dry and comfortable. Pretty setting.

Had an awesome stay! The yurt was clean and exactly like the pictures portrayed! The night sky was amazing and the sun rise was just as beautiful. The shower took a second to get used to, but it was hot and refreshing. The bed was so comfortable and clean. It got cold the night I stayed but the mattress was thick and comfortable and the bedding kept me warm all night. The host explained everything in detail which was so helpful being my first time there. When reading other reviews I was on the fence and went with little expectations. After staying I can’t wait to go back or try other locations. I wish I had stayed another night.

It was great experience! We are traveling Montana for 6days and stayed I night there.
We saw sunset and sunrise. It was beautiful moment. However, there are only one public
Fire fit there. It would be fantastic if fire fit is each camp. Overall we are satisfied and recommend If stayed only one night there.

Amazing experience!! We wanted somewhere close to Yellowstone National Park that was a reasonable price. I was hesitant at first because it wasn’t a hotel but I’m so happy we experienced this!! We arrived very late, just in time for star gazing! Super quiet and peaceful. I thought I was going to be cold sleeping but the beds were incredibly comfortable and warm!! A little walking distance to the bathroom but nice to have running water. The shower was a bit chilly at first but warmed up eventually. Amazing mountain and field views. I’m not a camping person but I greatly enjoyed this!!

We were given a tent number before arrival. Right before we arrived we received a text message with a new tent number. Once we pulled up to the new tent we quickly realized someone was in there. Spoke to the occupant in that tent and they said the same thing just happened to them. We had to call customer service and get a new tent. They acted as if this were completely normal. Got to the tent, the one solar lamp was completely dead. Had to use out phones for light. Went to the showers, completely cold water. Nothing about this place was enjoyable. Definitely a waste of money and the long drive out. Will never return to this property

This is a very good option if one wants to experience camping without hassles of carrying stuff. The tents and overall arrangements are very nice. Clean beds. Bathrooms are shared but clean with hot water. Provide paid breakfast. Overall it was nice experience. We liked it.

Beds were very comfortable! We paid for a heater that we used for the morning but it was hard to start and went off after a shoperiod. I'm not sure if we got a full propane bottle.
There was no water in the bathromms at night.

Cool glampning spot. They need parking away from tents. Headlights into your tent all hours of the night.
