Under Canvas North Yellowstone – Paradise Valley is set amid breathtaking, mountain-ringed ranchland on the banks of the Yellowstone River, 45 minutes from the national park’s north entrance.

Planes

It’s a 45-minute drive from Bozeman International Airport, and around two hours from Billings - Logan International Airport.

Automobiles

The adventure concierge can arrange trips into the park, but you’ll want your own car for going solo. There’s private parking at the camp. Please note that you’ll need to purchase a $35 pass to enter Yellowstone National Park by car, either online or at the park gate.

Worth getting out of bed for

Each week, a roster of activities runs at the camp, from sunrise yoga to scavenger hunts, arts and crafts and stargazing sessions. With the Yellowstone River steps from the lobby tent, you can join an expert for a fly fishing excursion without leaving camp; board a dory boat for a river float through awe-prompting Paradise Valley scenery; and enjoy wild swimming or wading in the refreshing waters that weave through the valley.

But with spectacular wilderness all around you and Yellowstone’s north entrance nearby, you’ll soon be tempted onto the trails. There are plenty of Yellowstone highlights within easy daytripping distance – Mammoth Hot Springs are around an hour’s drive away, and it’s two hours to Lamar Valley, nicknamed America’s Serengeti for the huge number of bears, bison, pronghorns and other big critters that call it home. Under Canvas’ adventure concierge can arrange all sorts of guided adventures into the national park and wider region. Sign up for a naturalist-led hike or wildlife-watching tour through the area’s untamed landscape. Join a kayak trip for a set-your-own-pace paddle past soaring views of Mount Sepulcher and Electric Peak, or ramp up the adrenalin with whitewater rafting. And when in the Wild West, a wrangler-led horseback ride through Montana’s National Forests seems only fitting.

Local restaurants

Designed to satisfy pre- and post-adventure appetites, a regionally inspired menu back at base means you’re unlikely to dine outside of camp.

Anonymous review

By Mr & Mrs Smith

Every hotel featured is visited personally by members of our team, given the Smith seal of approval, and then anonymously reviewed. As soon as our reviewers have returned from this tented stay just outside Livingston, Montana, and unpacked their daypacks and Pendleton knitwear, a full account of their nature-bound break will be with you. In the meantime, to whet your wanderlust, here's a quick peek inside Under Canvas North Yellowstone – Paradise Valley…

The Wild West is alive and well at Under Canvas North Yellowstone – Paradise Valley. If the name sounds hyperbolic, have a look around – lush Montana ranchland stretching out between soaring peaks, the Yellowstone River snaking through. No wonder the region is a recurring star of the silver screen. And you have a front-row seat – high-spec tents, each with a private bathroom and cozy wood-burning stove, are set steps from the riverbank. Head straight out on a quaint wooden boat, or hit the trails with expert guides to explore the alpine wilderness where hotsprings bubble and bears and bison roam.

Keeping the west this wild calls for mindful management, which is why the camp operates with an impressive raft of environmental measures. So when you’re winding down at the end of the day, bluesy tunes playing and the Milky Way brilliant overhead, it’s with the buoying sense that this place is in safe hands. If this is how cowboys are kicking it these days, count us in.
