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!
Very unique way to stay with 360 degree views, also convenient to Yellowstone National Park.

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.

Enjoyed our stay with young children.
It took a little effort to find the site because we got there at 12am and it’s very dark…
When we finally parked our car and got out of our car, the milky way is right above us, breathtaking.

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.
Dirt road to get to the property was rough driving over. Bathrooms on property are mobile portable bathrooms hooked up to water pumps and generators. Bathrooms were dirty and smelled like urine. To be able to shower you have to continuously pull the cord for water and it was freezing cold! When the weather is already cold I don't want a cold shower at the end of a day. Also, there was absolutely no way to charge your phone, tents had no electricity nor did the bathrooms have any outlets either. No mention of that was made on booking and was not prepared to have no charging access. The only good thing about the property was that the down comforter on the bed was actually nice and warm to sleep with. That being said, we cut our 2 night stay short and only stayed 1 night due to the other conditions above. I would not recommend this place at all.

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.
Great communication. The tent is beautiful and the bed comfortable. Bathrooms are relatively close and clean. Great dining options within a reasonable driving distance. it is camping so be ready for camping. About 25 miles from Yellowstone.

- The tent doesn’t have lantern ( it’s looks like they don’t have lantern for all tents)
- we arrived at night , so the tents numbers isn’t clear to find. That will be good if they put light on all the tents numbers, that helps the guess who arrives at night.
- they don’t have towels - it’s $10 to get one ( but don’t say anything on the reservation)
- communication and cleaning it’s absolutely amazing and the guy who help us in the morning was amazing. ( unfortunately I don’t remember his name) he’s car has a buffalo in his truck.
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.
