    Great place to stay with family! Beautiful surroundings and comfortable glamping. Lobby had coffee, great teas & hot chocolate plus other activities like games/live music/smores! Staff was super helpful and I really appreciate them making extra effort to mail my lost bandana. We would definitely recommend and stay at another Under Canvas.

    I absolutely loved my experience here at Under Canvas. The tent idea is so much fun. Our bed was very comfortable, room was clean, and the wood burning stove was awesome! The stove made the tent so toasty so quick. There is just something cool about a wood burning stove. Our tent did not have its own bathroom. We used the shared bathrooms and they were very well taken care of and super clean. They had coffee, tea, and hot chocolate available in the lobby. Also had some nice seating areas in the lobby tent to play games and stuff. I highly recommend staying here if you ever get the chance. Beware.... there is a train that goes by at night. It has to sound it's horn because of the crossings it makes. I am more of a sound sleeper so this was not an issue for me. They do offer ear plugs if that is an issue for you.

    We had good and bad experiences during our stay. The worst: We booked a teepee well in advance. When we arrived on a cold night after a long day of travel, we were disappointed after being led to a leaky teepee with sopping wet bed linens. Multiple guests were complaining of wet bedding from leaks. The staff were friendly but seemed very frazzled and disorganized, like they were all new and sort of tripping over each other. When inquiring about moving to a different type of tent, the front desk staff gave conflicting information. It took a long time and a lot of insistence on our part to finally get in touch with the manager who could make this happen. The best: The manager was awesome and helped us upgrade into the treehouse, which was absolutely amazing! Staying in the treehouse was the best, most unique hotel experience of my life. Bottom line: The small teepees are not worth the cost. Stay in the treehouse for an amazing experience!

    My first "glamping" experience with the hubs, loved it. Perfect space for two, bed was super comfortable. Only downfall is when taking a shower you must use one hand to hold knob down, but hey, not complaining..certainly better than camping with no shower. Stayed two nights visiting from Ohio, will certainly be back

    NOTE- the company name is actually "Glacier Under Canvas" and the actual address is 101 Under Canvas Road, East Coram, MT 59913. Check out www.glacierundercanvas.com Glamping seems to be all the rage, so we wanted to try it out on our visit to Glacier National Park. Glacier Under Canvas just opened this year and is a few miles outside of the park entrance. They have a wide array of accommodations- tipi, treehouse, tent, or cabin. Each has their own small driveway, so you can drive your car up to your tent to easily drop off luggage. We stayed in a Safari tent, which had a king-sized bed, dresser, campstove, two electric lamps, plus two chairs and small table. The bed was very comfortable and will keep you warm when the temperature drops at night. The night we stayed it rained overnight and was close to freezing but we kept warm with the campstove and cozy bedding. If you are a light sleeper, the rain hitting the canvas is loud and might keep you up. As for the shared bathrooms, they are very nice. There are two locations with four bathrooms at each location. There is a storage closet with plenty of towels, washcloths and handtowels. Important note-- If you are planning on staying here, please check in and become familiar with your tent and shared bathroom locations before the sun sets. It can be difficult to find the location when you're driving at night or if the weather is bad.

    4.5 stars! A must stay place within a short driving distance (15-25 min drive) to the West Entrance of the Glacier National Park, especially if you are looking to try out camping but still wanting to "rough it out" with real camping style. Glacier Under Canvas has accommodation on a campground like area for you ranging from real luxurious ones that come with real bed frame, cabinets with private baths (probably mid $200s a night) to a simple tipi with 2 folded beds/cots and sleeping bags, folded chairs and the use of shared bathrooms ($80 a night). My SO and I stayed in a tipi for 3 nights and really loved the experience. The tipi structure was made out of canvas.. it was simple, yet clean and does its job of protecting us from the rain (we had a thunderstorm/windy night one night of our stay and the tipi was so sturdy and was able to keep us dry!). What I also like there was also the cleanliness of the bathrooms there. Even though those who stayed in the tipi (e.g. their most basic accommodation) had to share bathrooms/toilets, those places remained super clean and was not disgusting at all. They always seemed to have clean towels and washcloths in stock at all times, too. It could be that Glacier Under Canvas attracted the right crowd of stayers...or, most likely, the ground keepers really did a great job maintaining and keeping the places clean! We stayed there for 3 nights and wouldn't mind staying there again. One warning though..I think the beds are good, but if I had to stay for 3+ nights, I would love to stay at Glacier Under Canvas or places with similar glamping concept again..however I might consider staying at one of their more luxurious options with a proper bed..call me spoiled..but I don't want my back to be killing me coming back from a long vacation! 3 days were bearable..but 3+ nights...my personal choice is..I would rather have my bed and still be glamping at that place! :) Another plus is also that this place uses minimal electricity (they try to use solar power as much as possible) and try their best to minimize impact on environment! Note: if you are looking for a comfortable, oh..pamper my style hotel, this is probably an option for you. However, if you are somewhat adventurous and want to venture into the concept or notion of camping without all the dirt that may come with actual camping..this place is a must stay!

    This spot is the perfect place to relax and unwind. The bed was soooo comfortable. Just to let you know you have to shower and hold down a lever when doing so the whole time for the water to still flow and it's not super hot. BUT overall it was amazing. Would go back in a heart beat

    We stayed here in July 2018. It was amazing. We rented 2 teepees for the 4 of us. They were back in the woods so we had plenty of privacy and were near the bathrooms. We had the most comfortable beds and the bedding was amazing. There were 2 twins in each teepee. My husband is 6'3" and it was fine for him. He said several times that that was the best nights sleep he got on our whole 2 week trip. They have very clean showers / bathrooms and plenty of clean towels. The staff was nice and the drive in a golf cart to the tent was nice. If you are looking to stay some where unique I highly recommend this place. Loved it!!!

    NOT FAMILY FRIENDLY! THIS IS A COLLEGE HANGOUT. DON'T GO! KEEP DRIVING...all the way to one of the…read morelakes. How does a resort minutes outside of a national park have availability during peak season? Oh, let me count the ways. I reserved a group tent site in May 2023 for 2 nights. We talked about the site with the "pond." I mentioned extra people, up to 12 possibly. 4 tents, dogs, extra vehicles including camper vans (Class B). Site 30 is a smallish field with room for dogs to run and a decent amount of people to hangout. (NO POND. That part is false advertising. It's an overflow drainage hole that is now empty and full of debris.) Site 30 is at the end and not surrounded by other sites. It all sounded fine and very possible. We pull in after touring the park all day and the tag says we're in group site 42. I'm already thinking, that's not the right number. Site 42 is supposedly a group tent site and in the middle of other sites. Site 42 doesn't have a single inch of flat space. The parking area is not flat, the tent area is not flat. Keep in mind I originally intended to put 4 tents in the space. No way could this site hold that many tents, vehicles or people that I originally intended to bring. The owner didn't know our numbers had been reduced when we showed up. It's late but we call the office number, and the owner comes to the site. She tells us a larger group also made a reservation and we were BUMPED from 30 and she gave it to them. She tells us we have "giant" vans and usually people don't bring those. Where we parked the vans is where tents should go she said. Again, the space isn't flat enough for tents so we thought we might as well park there. Later on she sees the tents we put up and apparently, they are also "giant." We're travelling with our family. How else do you put 4 or 6 people in a tent unless it's giant? (We'll get to this reasoning.) Did you hear an apology? Yeah, we didn't either. We're pretty frustrated at this point and it's late. Next door to Site 42 are a couple of single tent sites with framed in, FLAT tent areas. Parking is still abysmal, and our vehicles don't fit. We put one van in overflow parking which was actually almost flat. Seriously! Why make overflow parking flat and not the actual site parking areas?!? We set up 1 tent in each space. One van still has to park at an angle on an incline and it doesn't really fit. The mom sleeping in that van didn't do much sleeping at that incline. I didn't get to the party happening in the next sites, yet. Yep, big college-age crowd being super loud until very late also kept our people awake. Kids like this don't drive big camper vans or have big family-size tents. Later we found out from a local, who was nice enough to listen to our story, that this is exactly what TimberWolf is known for: for being the teenage/college hangout site. That's why family-size anything doesn't work at this "resort." The locals rolled their eyes when we mentioned this place and apologized to us that we had to have this experience. Oh! The locals know how to the apologize...the owner, not so much. Next morning, (yes, the story continues) dads and kids are sitting around the campfire finishing up the $6 bucket of wood we purchased the night before. The owner comes around and tells them about the fire restrictions that just went into effect that morning and tells them to put the fire out. She actually tries to tell our dogs to be quite so she could talk. LOL! Does she offer to buy the wood back? NOPE!!! She says, "You had plenty of time to burn the wood last night." No, we didn't because we were moving campsites and trying to get ourselves set up! Does she apologize? NOPE!!! She sent an email, we should have known better. We're camping and vacationing, not reading emails. Was there a sign on the wood pile the night before that said anything about making sure to use it all up that night because of the restrictions the next day? NOPE!!! So, we're quite irritated with all the rude, condescending behavior. (Don't judge all Montanans by this woman. Usually, we're really nice and have awesome customer service.) We also heard comments from another family about their stay being one of the worst experiences they've had. We decide to hit the road and find somewhere else to hangout and camp for another night. The owner finds me and asks me for the # of people, vehicles, dogs, like she's working up a bill. I'm thinking, you're really gonna charge us for this huh? Yep, in addition to my prepayments, she wants more money. When we stop by the office to checkout and find out what she's been up to, she just hands me a receipt and asks for more money. Yes, there were slight discounts. But really, there's no value given at this place. What did I pay for? To be on a hill, get rudely treated, and charged for every little thing.

    Beautiful park with lots of great amenities, including a group fire pit, a cabana with 3 gas…read moregrills, an awesome playground for the kiddos and a great covered pavilion for gatherings! The staff are all so friendly and helpful. Some of them even have some of their hand crafted items for sell in the gift/supply shop! The owners have some of their hand crafted pottery available too! Surprisingly, they don't gouge you at all for the supplies available either! That's a huge bonus to me because most places like this seem to do just that! They have rv spots with full hookups and spots with just electric. They also have cabins and a small B&B apparently. Only a few things that could make this park a little better, in my opinion. 1: a little wider spaces. Although, they are all at an angle which makes it feel a bit more open. They are wider than some parks though! 2: a leash free pet area would be awesome. 3: the nightly fee is high enough that I feel like charging for showers is excessive. So future campers know, it's 50 cents for 10 minutes.

    This restaurant was recommended to us by our guide on a boat tour at St. Mary Lake in Glacier…read moreNational Park. She made mention that it was locally owned, AND it was the only one of the 3 restaurants she named which was open before 4pm, which is when we were there, so we trekked on over. We arrived behind a large party of about 8 people and were the only other table in the restaurant. They - or should I say he - took our order quickly and were willing to accommodate a special request (to have a breakfast dish after their stated cutoff time due to a wheat allergy; almost everything on the lunch menu is breaded/fried, so I couldn't eat it). It was clearly Native-owned, which I was happy to support. However, the poor guy who took our order was the only one in the place. He was doing everything: stocking, cleaning, taking orders, cooking. We were there for nearly an hour when the other party's food came out. By this point, we had figured out that he was flying solo, so we were sort of hoping our food would come out at the same time. It didn't. We asked if ours had been started yet, and it hadn't. Seeing that we were staying 3 hours from the park, we had to leave to meet up with our family without having any lunch. This could easily have been avoided with a little communication from the get-go: "Hey, a large party just came in ahead of you. Just so you know, it's probably going to be an hour or more before you see any food." We would have left then and had time to get lunch before starting our drive back to Augusta. As it was, we paid for our 1 drink, made do with whatever snacks we had, and hit the road. Can't comment on the food and the guy was super nice, so I hate to leave a not-great review, but I can't imagine what would have happened if 2 or more of the parties from our boat ride had arrived at the same time we had. I think a little work on the staffing side would do wonders.

    Great spot on the east glacier side. The guy serving us was super nice and made sure we were taken…read morecare of. I got a Philly cheesesteak and fries which ended up being really good. I definitely would recommend to anyone looking for a family friendly place with great food.
