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.

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

A Work in Progress!
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!

Starlight Retreat was beautiful and relaxing. With a large family, it’s hard to find accommodations where we can all stay without having to book two. The large family tipi sleeps seven comfortably. It was impeccably clean and uniquely beautiful. 10/10 recommend!
