Lovely stay other than unreliable hot water (I think they were working on this), really nice location not far from the west entrance of Yellowstone. Beds are super cozy!

Nice but overpriced
The place was nice
The room was good and clean
But the whole campground using the same toilets and bathroom which arent the cleanest and i had to drive my kids there overtime they need toilet or bathroom (cold and dark at night)
Ny real issue was the price for value they charge more then hotel but giving me a facilities of camping

Great blend of roughing it & glamping
This stay was almost as good as it could be for what it is - creature comfort mixed with an actual camping experience. We got a safari tent for our family of 5.
Cons: Toilet trailers were busy and at times overflowing (staff did address). Dirt roads were extremely bumpy and need filled.
Pros: A great camping experience with less work. The beds were super comfy and solar power to charge phones is great. Feeling off off grid without losing main comforts major plus.
We only stayed one night but I have 0 regrets on our choice and we camp both in our camper and plenty of tent camping experience.

Terrible property.
Bathrooms are horrible. There is no way we can use the bathrooms. Water is super cold in bathrooms. There is no electricity in the property. Campfire closes even before it. Is dark. Tents are super cold. My whole family had to wear thick jackets even while sleeping.

This was a great, unique stay for us. We loved the family size tent and it was very comfortable. The inside of the tent was set up very nice and had a cozy feel. The area was beautiful, and we would visit again.

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!

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!

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!

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 had a wonderful time staying at Starlight Retreat. The stars at night were beautiful and the tents were so clean and welcoming. There is a community area to cook and a fire to roast marshmallows too in the evening! It does get pretty cold at night so make sure to bring warm clothes to sleep in even if it’s hot during the day the nights get really cold.

It was a good experience at Glamping, close to Yellowstone National Park, affordable. Staff was attentive, they had complimentary smores for the kids.
Issues with the toilets, some were not working, and there was always a line, Would suggest having more facilities on site.
