Starlight Retreat Yellowstone

The true camping experience ! our weather was rough (Raining almost the whole time) Maybe some more wood chipped walkways around the campground would have kept us out of the mud.

Kids loved the teepee. Overall great experience. Staff was great

The place is under construction. Solar power was nice but not charging well cause of the weather. Staff was very pleasant and helpful.

The road was terrible inside the retreat, calling it a road is a over statement is was a muddy area with no grass. I was seriously concerned about damaging my minivan. Upon pulling up to our teepee we are greated with an old water bottle someone left, a propane tank, solar panel and freshly graded dirt still with track marks I assume from the mini excavator parked just around the corner. A long way from what the pictures showed. When I opened the door there was a floor mat in a pile soaked in water, the corner of the main bed was soaked in water I assume for it leaking. The heater does little more than take the edge off the cold. Also none of the decorations shown in the photos are actually there. Just beds, white pillow, and two night stand with lamps. The restroom and shower are just temporary restroom event trailer because the actual bathroom are still being built.

The ideas is great, BUT they need to finished building the Restroom before renting the location out. I stayed for 3 nights and was only able to use the restroom 1 time, the other 2 night i have to wake up and drove 4 miles down the road to use the gas station restroom. No running water, good thing i have a case of water with me, and that what used. The rest room was out off toilet paper and no water.If it rain the road will get muddy and your car will get stuck. The only good thing is the tent was new and clean, BUT NO WATER OR USEABLE RESTROOM. I rather go in the wood, but cant do that. Also you be along cows, be careful where you step…

I am hopeful that this place will eventually become a place I’d like to revisit with my grandsons. My granddaughters and I spent one night in a teepee. Although it was nice, it did not have the HEATER and double bunk beds that we read about. It was in the low 40s the night we stayed. The white comforters were probably not the best choice of colors for this type of accommodation, as each one had various dirty spots on the topside. Also, our power station was only at 12% when we arrived and was dead when we returned from the campfire around 10:30. Therefore, we had no lighting! This should have been checked and swapped out by the staff before we arrived. Another issue was that there were not enough bathrooms/showers for the number of guests staying throughout. Loaning out a trailer of bathrooms/showers was probably not the best decision given the number of guests staying at this location. Like I stated above, this place is “A work in Progress” and the bathrooms are still under construction, as well as the central common area. In other reviews, I read that gravel had been brought in to cover the roads; however, the very limited amount of gravel is still in a pile and needs to be spread out. Which leads me to another point. The dirt road back into the check-in, common-area, bathrooms/showers and to our teepee is rough and was washed out due to 4-days of rain prior to our arrival. These roads should have been graded daily! Sweet Little Village! Feeling Hopeful!

We had a great stay at the Starlight Retreat. My Family stayed in Teepee number one. It was spacious and comfortable. After a long day hiking in Yellowstone it was nice to have a place with comfortable beds to crash. We had plenty of blankets for the cool nights. The shower trailers and bathrooms were clean. Currently they are building shower and bathrooms on sight. The staff was friendly and helpful. Each night they lit a campfire and had smores which allowed for conversation with others who were there in camp. Overall a great experience. It is Glamping at its best. Thanks Starlight for a great stay. Kirk Evans

This glampsite is still under construction. We received an email prior informing us, it promised us we wouldn’t notice much and they insured us excellent temporary sanitary facilities. However, the roads on the site were very bad and the temporary sanitary provisions were dirty, a couple out of order, just overall terrible! A lot of work needs to happen there to make it a good experience.
