Unforgettable Yellowstone Glamping: Yellowstone Tipis

Chasing Trail

A trip to Yellowstone National Park is bucket list-worthy in itself, but one way to make it even more memorable is to experience Yellowstone glamping. At Yellowstone Tipis, you’ll stay in an authentic canvas tipi with plenty of upscale amenities, while being just steps from the park.

Yellowstone National Park is home to some of the world’s most stunning landscapes, spectacular natural wonders, and abundant wildlife. It’s truly a one-of-a-kind, magical place to visit — and a stay at Yellowstone Tipis only enhances this magic.

Not only do the tipis offer an unforgettable Montana glamping experience, they’re also about as close as you can get to the park without staying IN the park. Yellowstone Tipis is in Gardiner, just four minutes from the North Entrance (the only one open year-round and the closest place you can go whitewater rafting at the park!).

While Yellowstone and Gardiner are both infamous for being extremely busy, Yellowstone Tipis is tucked juuuuust enough off the main thoroughfare that you’ll enjoy relaxing among peace and quiet after a day full of adventure.

Yellowstone International Arts Festival Weaves Ballet, Nature, and Community

Cool Hunting

Paradise Valley, Montana might be the only place in the world where cowboys and world-class ballerinas collide. Such is the allure of the Yellowstone International Arts Festival, an annual ballet production in Yellowstone’s mountainous valley, founded by a Montana-born family of internationally renowned ballet stars: Maria Sascha Khan, Nadia Khan, Nicholas MacKay, Julian MacKay and their mother Teresa Khan MacKay. Held on 10 August, the festival (now in its fourth year) brought ballet and live classical music to an unexpected locale amidst an untraditional audience of locals and classical devotees who flew to the rural region just for the occasion.

Another tipi-style Yellowstone glamping option, these traditionally-made canvas tipi tents come with king beds and a private bathroom in the spa-inspired bathhouse. Tipis have space and mattress heaters for chilly nights, and fans to keep the air circulating during the heat of the day.

Glampers can also book tours and activities ranging from river floats to traditional campfire cookouts. But perhaps our favorite feature is the property’s 360-degree views of the park.
