This is a fun little add on to any vaca in Yellowstone. The night stars are such a fun way to enjoy camping. The place if well maintained and staff are nice. Cold showers and cows if you like that sort of thing. We enjoyed our stay and recommend.

The tents were all unique, very clean and spacious. The property has pots and pans to cook with as well as a grill and stove area. Outside games were a hit and the fire pit was a big hit for the kids. We made smores and played games. Absolutely loved our stay here. Will be back. And I recommend.

It truly was amazing to get this experience and the tippie was nice and cozy. Getting to come back in the evening after a day's out and coming back to smores and campfire sitting with other campers getting to know them was good experience and somthing we would definitely do again. Showers and bathrooms where nice and clean.They do have coffee there in the mornings other stuff to buy if needed for snack. The staff so friendly and willing help if needed. So if anyone is looking to get an experience worth have definitely go check it out.

Super fun and cute vibe. The nightly community bonfire was a nice touch, and the tipi/grounds in general were as clean as you could expect. We stayed in 5 different places during this trip and Starlight Retreat was the favorite of my children - we will likely return again in the future when able.

Inside the tent was very nice and clean. There’s battery that powered lamp and phone charged. The staff in person were friendly. Extra blankets and towels were available on request. Heater was available on request for a fee. The check-in process is patterned to a hotel where you go to a front desk which I believe has specific period that is opened. We arrived late in the evening for first night so we were not able to check in, I wish there was a self check in. Communication via the travel agent, in my case Expedia, could be improved in terms of responsiveness. The bed, sofa and all the inside setup of the tent was great. Other than grass outside and the communal facility there’s none like tub, grill (maybe this by design so just fyi)

Tent inside was okay. Beds were comfortable … toilets and showers were dirty. No toilet paper. No warm showers. No landing at the tent and it rained so there was a lot of mud puddles. Toilets was relatively far away from tent and with the rain it was too muddy to walk so we had to drive every time we wanted to go. Concept is great but I think with the price I paid I expected more.

Such a fun place to stay! We stayed in the Teepee with our 5 boys and they were in Heaven. The teepees leak a bit when it rains, mostly around the door. The shared cooking space had a stove and a grill along with all the pots and pans you would need. You need to bring your own utensils. They have a camp fire each night that the staff lights and takes care of, and they offer a complimentary s’more kit (1 per person). The cooling area is right beside the fire pit, where they also have tetherball, horse shoes, soccer ball, corn hole, swing set… It was one of the boys highlights to eat dinner, have a fire with s'mores, and playing games with the other families around the camp. The staff was amazing! Super helpful, informative, and very kind.

My child and I had a great stay at Starlight! The tent was spacious, clean, and looked exactly like the photos. It was awesome to have the ability to charge our devices using the solar-powered charging device. There was a mat for shoes to help keep the carpeting clean (yes, there is carpet so you're not stepping on the hard, cold bottom of a tent). You have the ability to open up multiple tent flaps so that sunshine or air can move through the tent without exposing you to bugs because there are screens on each of them, including the entrance/exit. The bed was super soft. We didn't have a chance to use the kitchen facilities or join the nightly campfire, but we saw plenty of people enjoying/using them both. It was great to be able to grab hot water or tea in the check-in tent in the morning and I know that there was fresh cold water on hand as well as coffee (in addition to small selection of snacks and breakfast items for purchase). The restrooms and showers were very clean, especially for a campground, and there was plenty of body wash and shampoo in the showers for those who needed it. You are also given fresh towels when you arrive. Distance from shopping and restaurants: Mere minutes from a grocery store, gas stations, restaurants, etc. Distance (Yellowstone): Easy, fairly short drive to the West entrance. Local Sites: Upper Mesa Falls is about 30 minutes away and has incredible views. If you want to stay at a super comfy location with good amenities, this is it!

We recently stayed at Starlight Retreat and had a mixed but memorable experience. The tent itself was super cute and offered a fun glamping atmosphere. We did notice a few patched areas on the tent, but nothing that took away from the charm. One issue was that the power generator wasn't working during our stay, which meant we had no lamp and no way to charge devices or plug anything in. Since we visited in May, the nights were also quite cold, and that made the experience a bit challenging. I think this type of stay is probably better suited for adventurous travelers. Our group included my elderly parents (mid 60s), my aunt (mid 70s), and my 6-year-old child, so the lack of power and colder temperatures were harder on some members of our group than they might be for others. That said, my kid absolutely loved it and probably had the most fun of anyone there. Overall, it's a unique and charming place with a lot of character. Just be prepared for a more rustic experience, especially if you're traveling with older family members or young children.
