You can also hike through this area. I parked and walked all the way to the visitor center while taking in the amazing views. The trail is surrounded by a sagebrush meadow. Lake Creek flows out of Phelps Lake and is a short walk from the visitor center. The visitor center ended up being closed when I arrived. It is in a wood building and offers ranger-led programs, trail information, weather, and information on Mr. Rockefeller's vision for the Preserve. The LSR Preserve is a beautiful area and worth checking out when open.

On that day, a storm must've been moving in because the wind was gusting and there were actually waves on the lake! We got out a couple times and explored the beachfront. I found a couple of bird feathers, which was exciting for me, and generally just amazing given the gusts of wind - I was surprised that they didn't blow away. On our third day in the park as we came back through from the fishing bridge headed towards Old Faithful, we went by the lake again, and we were stunned at the complete difference in personality that we were witnessing. The lake was completely and totally calm, quiet, and gentle. We had to stop and explore again, and it was such a different experience from the day before. This lakefront is amazing and it's definitely a place to be explored in the park.

It's a HUGE lake and it took me a while to drive down the road with the lake by my side. There are a lot of pulloffs that you can soak in the views or even go down to the lake and play in the water. It'll take you a while to drive around the entire lake and there are multiple parts of it. West Thumb and Grant Visitor Center will be closest to the main sections of the park and closest to Grand Loop Road. Although the South and Southeast arms of the lake are further away I imagine they're less crowded so you can have more peace doing all your fun activities.

The site has a general store as well as a market/deli Under Canvas is closer to camping than glamping for the following reasons: 1) It took effort to start evening fires in the wood stove, but we didn't appreciate waking every 1.5 - 2 hrs to maintain the fire... and overnight / early morning temps were 37* F - 40s * F. 2) Other campers were loud and didn't respect quiet hours starting at 10pm. We're sympathetic with families with children. However adults are capable of speaking in lower volumes, cheering / shouting, etc. and committed to the guest agreement. (Mgmt. likely anticipates this, so ear plugs and eye masks are available for free in the lobby.) 3) The on-site breakfast restaurant (back of house in particular) isn't prepared for the number of diners. If you bring your own food, your vehicle serves as a rodent / bear box food locker. We didn't mind the common bathhouse, with locks that show which units are occupied / vacant. Each unit affords more privacy because they feature sink, toilet and shower (water is heated by a propane tank). Each unit has electricity and is temperature controlled. Highlights: a) Complimentary hot coffee, hot water, tea bags, decaf coffee packs are available in the lobby as early as 6am daily. (Half & half and oat milk and sweetener condiments are available.) The lobby features commercially packaged food & drink items, in addition to merchandise (apparel, games, maps) b) Despite the cold temps, the beds are comfortable and the 6-layers of bedding kept us warm. Hot water bottles are available upon request. Furniture inside and outside tents encourage rest. c) USB-charged lanterns and power banks to recharge personal electronic devices are available. Exchange the power banks at the front desk as needed. d) Multiple cornhole sets available and a children's play area nearby, in the open space adjacent to the lobby. e) Fire pits and s'mores ingredients are available nightly if you want to partake. A no-host (you pay) happy hour drink trailer is also available in the open space adjacent to the lobby. f) Daily activities planned for children, in addition to a live singer-songwriter during a happy hour once or twice a week. g) Friendly staff on a work exchange from across the U.S. They do their best... Campers are advised to text the front desk to seek assistance. This site is less than a 15 min one-way drive to the town of West Yellowstone. The Food Roundup store is great for groceries if you want to stock a cooler for lunch within the national park. I recall one father asking the UC staff if milk was sold on site.

I had a nice experience here with my wife last week on a quick one night stay. I would echo pretty…read moremuch everything that Brandy C. said from almost exactly one year ago except that we had our own rudimentary "bathroom" in our tent. If you read Adriana's review before that one, you may be mistaken because while much of the staff is young here, I think they would handle an emergency just fine and their enthusiasm and dedication to ensure a positive guest experience is clear. Furthermore, if you are expecting glamping to control for the elements, you haven't read enough about Under Canvas or glamping in general. When we visited it was close to freezing in the middle of the night. Like Adriana we also woke up some when the fire burned out in the middle of the night. On the other hand, we also experienced the great pleasure of creating a roaring fire that, for most of the night, kept our tent very warm, and created a peaceful backdrop to reading in the comfy chairs in the tent. It was also so windy we felt like the tent might blow down but it was fine. The elements are part of what you except when you sleep in nature. Compared to our stay at Under Canvas in Paradise Valley at the other end of the park it was slightly cheaper here. Perhaps it is because there's more competition nearby as it is much closer to a population center (and entrance to the park) with the town of West Yellowstone. Like Brandy, we also heard more noise outside (Paradise Valley was silent) but otherwise, the feel and overall arrangement is very similar of course between the different Under Canvas.' If you are visiting Yellowstone and focusing on the Geothermal parts of the park on the Western side, Under Canvas could be a convenient option for you, although for the price, I would also consider just staying in the park as there so many beautiful (often rustic lodges) and upon checking just now, even for this weekend, most of them were cheaper than Under Canvas. Of course you can't compare the glamping experience but you should also consider how much time you have too as even from Under Canvas West Yellowstone, you will add an hour often times given the traffic getting in and/or out of the park each day and could just stay in the park.

I wish I could have stayed longer, but I'm very grateful for the opportunity to visit.

There is so much to do at GTP--I recommend exploring the park for at least 2+ days. Here's what I recommend. Start each day early: * 5:45 AM - Schwabacher's Landing (sunrise) * 6:45 AM - Snake River Overlook * 7:30 AM - Mormon Row (barn glow) * Jenny Lake Shuttle (8-8:30 AM, $20 RT) * Hike Hidden Falls (0.5 mi, 15-20 min) * Hike Inspiration Point (0.4 mi , 20-30 min) Take a break and have lunch at Dornan's Pizza Pasta Co.
