Yellowstone National Park is famous for all kinds of reasons: bubbling mudpots, sizzling steam vents, bursting geysers, loads of charismatic megafauna, and some epic glamping sites.
With so much to see and do within its 3,472 square miles, Yellowstone is no one-day destination. You’ll want to stay at least a few nights to experience its highlights. Lodging options abound near every park entrance, from RV parks to motels, but nature-centric glamping resorts really get you into the spirit of the place.
It doesn’t matter whether you visit Yellowstone in the winter or adventure north during the more popular summer months; it’s a must-visit destination for any traveler. Whether your perfect getaway involves a stylish bell tent, an adorable tiny house, or a Native American tipi, we’ve rounded up our favorite Yellowstone glamping escapes across Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming.

Best Glamping for Foodies Near Yellowstone
Bodhi Farms
With its primo location on a 35-acre, sustainable farm, it’s no wonder a stay at Bodhi revolves around food. The resort’s excellent Field Kitchen Restaurant offers über-fresh, seasonal meals served out of its open-air kitchen. Specialties might include Montana trout, mushroom risotto, or elk lion, along with desserts, regional spirits, and a hot breakfast for guests. Whiling away a summer evening at a creekside table is part of the magic.
When you’re not eating, indulge in an on-site sauna session, massage in a private spa tipi, or yoga class in the open-air yoga shala tent. There’s also a small pond for practicing fly-fishing or stand-up paddleboarding, and you can stroll the farm grounds and say hello to the resident chickens and pigs.
Bodhi’s nine generously sized Nordic tipis feature decks, hammocks, windows, cozy beds, space heaters, electricity, and a coffee bar. The two shared bathroom tipis have flush toilets and hot showers (there are also Portapotties located closer to the sleeping tipis).

Whichever one you pick, you’ll find the same ultra-comfortable experience. Roughing it? Not exactly.
Under Canvas’s signature safari-style tents are roomy (some sleep up to seven), decked out with West Elm furniture and fancy linens, and feature private bathrooms with hot showers and flush toilets. Each resort hosts a nightly bonfire with free s’mores, and full-service restaurants dish up seasonal, local goodies.

Get away from the Jackson Hole and Montana crowds and stay on the Idaho side of Yellowstone at Wander Camp, a stylish enclave of canvas bell tents that are as comfortable as they are Instagram-ready.
The spacious, 16-foot waterproof glampsites come in both king and twin sizes, and are designed to feel homey, with high thread count linens, cozy down comforters, soft rugs, and leather wingback chairs.
The camp is completely off-grid, meaning that there’s no electricity in the tents or the shared bathrooms, but solar lanterns and lighted pathways help ensure that night owls can still roam and read after the sun goes down. And the resort’s food truck offers simple al fresco breakfasts and dinners.

The shelters have sitting areas and one or two large beds for your whole crew to spread out in comfort. Bathrooms are shared (but don’t worry, they have hot showers), as are other great touches like a fire pit, horseshoes, hammocks, and dog/horse boarding (for a fee). Plus, a continental breakfast is included with every stay, to make sure you’re full of energy before checking out park favorites like Grand Prismatic Spring and Artist Paint Pots.

Bring the whole family — the largest of these canvas tents fits up to seven people on a combination of king beds, bunk beds, and sleeper sofas (smaller options are available, too). Creature comforts like Wi-Fi, USB charging packs, a fire pit, and a general store are all on site. There’s a communal kitchen and grill for DIY cooking, and the resort serves complimentary coffee each morning.
Situated a 20-minute drive from Yellowstone National Park’s West Entrance, this pet-friendly glamping haven also provides s’mores, disc golf, bocce ball, and cornhole. Showerhouses and restrooms are shared facilities and are a short walk away from the tent.
Best Cabin Glamping Near Yellowstone
Moose Creek Ranch
Why you should stay: These simple shelters are half-cabin, half-tent, and all quiet, relaxing escape.
- Location: Victor, Idaho
- Sleeps: Up to 2
- Minimum stay: 1 night
- Rates from: $239
Nestled in a quiet corner along a creek at this ritzy resort, you’ll find five rustic, romantic glamping cabins that sleep two. They’re each outfitted with a queen bed, woodstove, and fire pit, with shared bathroom facilities. You won’t find electricity or water inside the cabins, which have wood walls but a canvas roof, but Moose Creek Ranch does supply battery lanterns.
These cabins are located south of Yellowstone and just west of Grand Teton National Park, making them an ideal stop on a trip that covers both parks. Bonus: The ranch also rents an Airstream for glamping.
Best Wild West Glamping Near Yellowstone
Hemingway’s Cozy Cabin
Why you should stay: Shutter-chic is the new glam at this picture-perfect retreat in the Wild West town of Cody.
- Location: Cody, Wyoming
- Sleeps: Up to 2
- Minimum stay: 1 night
- Rates from: $95/night
Recently redone with air conditioning, this Wild West cabin is a rustic retreat in the notable cowboy town of Cody, Wyoming. The location is epic, too, as it’s just a short scenic drive away from the Cody Nite Rodeo, fields of wild mustangs, and Yellowstone.
With amenities like a mini fridge, electric kettle, and morning tea, you’ll hardly notice that there’s no Wi-Fi at this location, and instead opt to enjoy incredible mountain views from the shared wooden deck. Inside, grandma-chic furnishings like a colorful quilt, a bison lamp, and horseshoe coat hangers will be sure to warm your heart after adventuring all day.
Best Hot Springs Glamping Near Yellowstone
Chico Hot Springs Resort & Day Spa
Why you should stay: Come for the natural hot springs, stay for the fantastic dining and Old West charm of this Montana resort’s covered-wagon glampsites.
- Location: Pray, Montana
- Sleeps: Up to 4
- Minimum stay: 1 night
- Rates from: $225/night
Live your own chapter of Little House on the Prairie—just with soft beds, heat, and air conditioning—at Chico’s Camp Conestoga. The six canvas-topped covered wagons fit a king-size bed plus twin bunk beds and feature their own covered patios with views of the Paradise Valley. Guests also gather around gas-burning firepits when the evening chill sets in. One wagon has its own bathroom with a flush toilet, while the others share a communal bath house with hot showers.
Naturally, the hot springs pools at this century-old resort are the star attraction, and with good reason: Soaking in the swimming pool-sized warm pool or the smaller, hotter side pool is a must-do. Guests have unlimited access to the pools during open hours, so you can (and should) take the plunge multiple times over your stay.
When you dry off, don’t miss a meal at the standout Dining Room, which serves the likes of prime rib, beef tenderloin, and roast chicken for dinner and offers a killer brunch buffet. The Chico Saloon offers more casual fare, as does the Poolside Grille. There’s also an on-site spa, horse barn, and disc golf course, among other amenities.
While the Conestoga wagons win the prize for most fun lodging, we’d be remiss not to mention that Chico has a slew of other sleeping options. If the wagons are booked up, you can also bunk in a cabin, caboose, motel room, or Victorian-era lodge room.
Best Wagon Glamping Near Yellowstone
The Brusset Wagon
Why you should stay: This 19-century shepherd’s wagon is no-frills, affordable, and tons of fun.
- Location: Belgrade, Montana
- Sleeps: Up to 2
- Minimum stay: 1 night
- Rates from: $105/night
Charm? Yes. Luxury? No. This adorable, handcrafted sheepherder wagon harkens back to the days when traveling shepherds would nomadically move and sleep with their herds all summer long. Set on a farm just outside of Bozeman, a convenient stop between Glacier and Yellowstone, the solitude, farm animal vibes (and cuddles), and epic big-sky sunsets all combine to make this a memorable stay.
A small stoop and two chairs greet visitors just outside the wagon, while inside, you’ll find a quilted double bed and a small seating area. A small shower/bath house and a composting outhouse are shared between the property’s two wooden wagons. You won’t find fancy amenities, but you can help the host do daily farm chores if you like.
