Under Canvas West Yellowstone is a 102-unit glamping camp just outside Yellowstone’s West Entrance. Tents boast wood-burning stoves, private baths, and West Elm–style decor. Peak August nights can reach $433 for weeknights and $373 for weekends, with a Suite with Kids Tent at $747-$907. WiFi and TVs aren’t in tents, and bear-country rules mean food stays out; this stay is a bold, memorable move.
Hit the lobby for coffee, but plan to visit a local cafe for stronger caffeine. You’re 10 minutes from the West Gate, so plan to head out by 6:45 AM to beat crowds. Leave early to maximize park time and return for a 8 PM wind-down.
✅ BOOK IF: you crave a nature-forward outdoor retreat with private bathrooms and a unique glamping vibe for family trips or couples. ❌ SKIP IF: you require constant internet access or a traditional hotel atmosphere.
Wildlife and Montana green hills, Stargazer tents for night skies
Family note: The property comprises tents and suites suitable for families, including the Stargazer Tent with Kids Tent. Connectivity is limited—no in-tent Wi‑Fi or TV—so plan for offline activities. Some tents are closer to amenities; ask staff about options near parking or accessibility support if needed.

This isn’t a conventional hotel. It’s a bold outdoor lodging option with 102 tents and suites, private baths, and wood-burning stoves. Prices top out in the high tier and the experience hinges on disconnecting from screens, embracing nature, and following bear-country rules. It’s pricey, but the memory of Yellowstone under canvas can be worth it for the right traveler.
Anyone requiring constant connectivity, or anyone with mobility challenges seeking easy, traditional hotel access.
• Book early for peak season. • If staying with kids, consider the Madison River Suite for extra space. • Use Embers for on-site dining; breakfast is an add-on. • Plan activities outside the tents to maximize experience.
