Under Canvas Glacier

I booked this stay as part of a larger trip including Canada for my husband's 40th birthday. When we first arrived, we were greeted and instructed on the use of our wood burning stove and shower. We were then escorted up to the parking area and rode a golf cart to our tent with our luggage. The tent we stayed in was the deluxe which included a toilet, shower, and sink. This was definitely worth the extra money. The shower is as you would expect a pull chain, on a timer type shower. The water did get very warm, but would get cold requiring you to pull the chain again. The bed was very comfortable and the room had plenty of seating both inside and out with areas to hang your stuff. Charging stations were offered for your phones as well as battery powered lanterns that provided ample light. It did get chilly overnight (in the 50's) but there were plenty of blankets on the bed and with the wood burning stove, we stayed pretty comfortable. In fact, I got hot eventually under all the blankets. I read other reviews and people complained about traffic noise and the train. Yes, you're right off Hwy 2 and there is traffic, but not as much towards the evening and I didn't wake up at night to the sounds of traffic. There are trains that go through the area fairly regularly (including overnight) and they are required to blow their horn, but if you hike hard enough, you'll pass out at the end of the day anyways ha! Anyone who had bad reviews obviously doesn't understand camping.

After researching for a unique and peaceful gateway I came across Under Cavas Glacier online. Upon arriving however, after the sun had gone down, there was an immediate understanding that the stay would be far from peaceful. There were so many people in vehicles that it was hard to find parking just to simply check in. Not to mention loud sounds coming from all the conversations happening around the premises. The tent “upgraded to deluxe” due to private bathroom offered was clean, simple, and the bed and shower were both very inviting to use. However, using the shower and trying to fall asleep proved that you cannot judge a book by its cover. Although initially impressed by the mere fact that a tent could produce a hot water shower, unfortunately it was set near boiling temperatures, rendering it almost unusable. As bedtime arrived the parties outside continued and the highway traffic and train both noise from the tracks and whistle were laughably loud and obnoxious- location, location, location. It being a canvas tent there is zero noice insulation to the outside world. If only we could have heard a little bit of wilderness. The fireplace was a joke and with random smoke alarms going off throughout the entire evening proved we weren’t the only tenants having issues. I appreciate the effort from under canvas glacier for what it’s worth but the pricing is so far north from properly representing the realities of staying there.

The train come by ever hour over night is not the best for sleeping. 4 or 5 trains over night.

Glamping Vacation Great experience. Camping with the luxuries of home- perfect for a family with a mix of both outdoorsy and city types. Staff is very friendly and helpful.

This property checks alot of our boxes. The tent was spacious and had a private bathroom. The Lobby tent had many complimentary items such as coffee, tea , apple cider and there grab and go was helpful. i enjoyed their cafe as it was very convenient with a nice selection of food , beer and wine. Lastly tbeir evening activities was a nice touch. My only real observation is the stoves only can keep about 2hr of wood so you will need to choose sleep in cold or wakeup thru the night and add more firewood. Other than that awesome trip. I would come back.

Love this experience. My only complaint is it is too close to the highway. I will not return because of this reason.
