Under Canvas North Yellowstone - Paradise Valley

We stayed 2 nights at Under Canvas- North Yellowstone and had a wonderful experience. The tent was clean and comfortable. Staff was very helpful and friendly. We loved sitting on the deck of the tent with a glass of wine, listening to the Yellowstone River, and watching bald eagles, with beautiful mountains in the background. Yes, there are less amenities than in a hotel, but that's the whole point. For all the people in these reviews complaining about it getting cold at night- what did you expect? If you want central heating, stay in a hotel! My husband got up once around 5-6AM to restart the fire, but otherwise we just huddled under the warm covers and enjoyed the adventure. We would definitely return and have recommended Under Canvas to many friends.

Pre-Arrival: |Communication with Under canvas staff was great. They responded quickly to emails. However, they were not very informed about things to do in the area outside of the excursions offered on the website. Unfortunately, several of the experiences were not available when we tried to book… such as horseback riding. Even the activities board onsite still advertised horseback riding as an option.||Accommodations/property:|We experienced two other glamping style trips over the past few years and this property was by far the most rustic. Besides the in-tent bathroom and king-sized bed there really were no other high-end amenities typical of other glamping sites. The camp itself was desert-like with no options during the day for escape from the heat. The tent during the day was absolutely sweltering. There were a few trees by the river but other than that it was best to not be on property between 10am.- 7:00 pm. The tents have no AC or heat other than a wood burning stove which guests must start and maintain throughout the night. It is fun at first but gets a bit annoying as the stove only holds enough wood for about 1.5 hours of heat. So, you are having to replenish throughout the night to stay warm.||Dining:|The Under Canvas website describes the dining as “locally sourced and rotating café style options.” The food is served on tin trays reminiscent of an army cafeteria and although the quantity of food was sufficient the quality was average at best and it was expensive. They do offer limited wine and beer but (no other adult beverages).|Again, compared to other glamping experiences this was a disappointment.|The grab and go sandwiches were good but the options were limited to a few food offerings.| ||Excursions: |We were able to book a 2-hour river float with Under Canvas the second evening. It was great and our guide was very knowledgeable and experienced. Loved seeing the Yellowstone River, learning the history of the area, and getting a better understanding of the local wildlife. The pricing for the excursions at Under Canvas compared to some of the other properties in the area was definitely more expensive so probably best to book your adventures outside of Under Canvas. We did find an e-bike tour and guide (Big Sky Ebike Tours) in Gardiner, Montana, the town adjacent to the North entrance of Yellowstone National Park. The tour was fantastic spent all-day riding through the park, seeing wildlife, geysers, hot springs, and hiking into some remote trails and areas. Our guide, Jay had everything covered from amazing bikes, headsets so we could stay connected during the ride, lunch at one of the geyser spots, and a wealth of knowledge about the park. Definitely a high light of our trip.||Under Canvas Staff:|We were greeted by very friendly, helpful people on-site. Again, it would have been nice if they were more familiar with options for things to do outside the camp.||Conclusion:|Montana is beautiful! This was our first experience in this part of the country and we will definitely be returning. Under Canvass was not the glamping experience we would recommend but did offer a step up from traditional camping.

We stayed at the North Yellowstone location. Staff was so friendly and helpful. This was our first Under Canvas experience. We really enjoyed this adventure. It was cooler in the evening and early morning and we needed to stoke the fire several times during the evening. Food was excellent. Outdoor sitting area and fire pits gave a beautiful view of the night sky.

My husband and I set out to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary in the mountains of Montana, and Under Canvas North Yellowstone was the perfect choice. We were looking for something that fit our personalities—immersed in nature, but with a touch of elevated comfort—and this truly delivered. The team went above and beyond to make our stay special. They surprised us with a beautifully decorated tent and a handwritten card for our anniversary, which made the experience even more memorable. Waking up to the breathtaking scenery of the Yellowstone River right in front of our camp felt magical. If you’re looking to escape reality while still enjoying a bit of “bougie” comfort, I highly recommend Under Canvas. The only small disappointment was that we were excited for the advertised live music around the campfire, but the entertainer was unable to make it and they weren’t able to find a replacement on short notice. Even so, the overall experience was unforgettable, and we left feeling relaxed, celebrated, and grateful.

A group of friends and our families stayed at the North Yellowstone location July 23-26 2025. It was amazing. We wanted a camping experience, but most of us aren't quite the camping type :) The tents were comfortable and our kids had plenty of space and room to roam. The staff were extremely accommodating and the food on site was great. The star gazing was probably our favorite part. We are still reminiscing, looking at pictures, and wishing we could go back! We will definitely stay at another location in the future.

Lovely rustic one night at under canvas. The service is excellent. The "room/tent" was spacious and clean with a very comfy cozy bed. There is no electricity, but the tent is equipped with a small wood stove and battery lights. The water in the sink and shower is operated with a pull chain, which makes it hard to wash and pull at the same time. Also, no food at all allowed in the tents, so be prepared to leave food in your car.|The surroundings are very peaceful and beautiful.|Restaurant on site was good, but overpriced in my opinion.|Nice to sit outside the restaurant at night around the fire pit and chat with other guests. Free s'mores were yummy.

We had a fabulous time at the North Yellowstone site. A stunning setting and very peaceful. The tents were very comfortable and clean. The staff were amazing. Great food. It was the perfect night away with the family. We also stayed at the West Yellowstone site, but we much preferred this location. It was quieter, the food was much better and the kids tent was more comfortable and spacious. It was also slightly warmer at night too.

We stayed the first night of our vacation. We had a fabulous time. We were a family of 6 and had 3 tents. Everything was fantastic. The food was delicious. There was so much to do. I loved being able to hear the Yellowstone River outside the tent. We took advantage of the yoga class, which was wonderful. I would recommend staying at Under Canvas.

Love this site, glamping at its finest. Beautiful river views. Decent food. Great place for families when visiting Yellowstone. Great views, showers are warm. Really cute.
