Not as expected

The Glamping Tent is a nice concept but not so nice when the temperature dropped down to 5 degrees and the heater stopped working.

great experience..a bit on the pricey side ...not enough space in the showers..they were always full and very dirty...the trappers tent was beautiful however I didn't sleep well thinking that the kerosene heaters in the tents has a sticker that stated please use with door open! small of the kerosene hung in the air like a fog you could taste in your mouth. tent across from us had a baby that cried all night long for two nights straight. could not park at the campsite itself - had to park down the road and that is not easy when you have to lock up anything that is an attractant to bears..

Too Hot for Summer Camping (roasting hot)

Our tent has no shade from the sun. It was so hot and we can't even change to different tent even if we offered to pay extra. THe policy is no exception unless "something wrong with the tent itself". The weather that day was 28°C and we have no choice to to seek shade around our camp until 6pm before it was cool enough to even seat in front of our tent. This has to be our worst camping experience. By day break we left as soon as possible.

Great first time experience in a trapper tent. Heater was a bonus as mornings were chilly with the sun behind the mountain. Staff were friendly and helpful.
