- ATAna TrolingerDec 9, 20251.0I was shocked by how loud this location is. Our tent was just mere feet from a busy 80-mph highway, and the traffic noise (inside the tent and outside) was constant and overwhelming — nothing like the peaceful “disconnect in nature” experience advertised. My family barely slept all night. Staff offered earplugs and a noise machine instead of a real solution. This is not about being a 'light sleeper' - the constant noise during the day just increased my stress level through the roof. I had to cancel the rest of my stay after just one night, but Under Canvas refused to refund anything. Very disappointing and not as advertised. I need to mention the positives as I'd be doing a disservice to the efforts the business is making in mantaining the property: very clean and well kept, great service (besides refusing to refund) If it wasn't for the highway, this would have been a perfect experience. I am still amazed at how so few people find that level of constant noise unacceptable and how the business obtained a lodging permit. If you want to really rest and disconnect, find yourself a real hotel who stands by their quality standards.
- ADAnne DeahlSep 29, 20255.0We enjoyed a wonderful experience at Under Canvas Glacier. The tents with private bath were spacious, comfortable, charming, and just the right level of clamping for two 65+ year olds! The food at Embers was good, and the service from all the staff was excellent and friendly. The nighttime trains might pose a challenge for some, but they didn't bother us. The wooded location was also cozy and private.
- SESam Erickson-WackerSep 25, 20255.0We were in a safari tent with the private bath. The space was ideally tucked in the back of the campground and seemed a bit quieter then the tents closer to the lobby tent. It was a unique camping experience and provided us with everything we needed after day activities in Glacier. While the campground does not have wifi, our Verizon service worked fine to connect and watch shows on the iPad at night. The staff were excellent. We did not encounter anyone who didnt go above and beyond with our questions and requests. We enjoyed our time here and plan to stay at other Under Canvas locations. I know some people complain about the train but it didnt bother us and the entire town hears the train all night. The campground does provide earplugs that I thought was nice.
- JDJulie DenneySep 14, 20255.0Comfortable and spacious tent, great food at the café, and friendly staff who were all well informed and super helpful. The train noise was a little loud but the provided earplugs helped a lot. Very happy with our stay!
- ELEd LawhornSep 13, 20255.0This was a good way for two non-campers to enjoy a semi-camping experience. Over our 10-day Wyoming-Montana travels, it was the best sleep we experienced, because of the setting and the very comfortable bed. Host Gabriel was welcoming, informed, and helpful. The setting was ideal, and it was convenient to Glacier Nat'l Park. We recommend it and would look forward to staying again.
