We had a wonderful stay at Under Canvas Mount Rushmore. The staff were all super friendly. Loved the dinner, meeting other guests over smores and the campfire, and hanging out on the deck with a (distant) view of Mount Rushmore. The facilities were all very clean. Will definitely check out some other Under Canvas locations!

My husband and I truly enjoyed our stay at Under Canvas. We ended up there on a very wet Memorial day so it was a bit challenging with all the mud. However, we chose to go glamping so we didn’t let it affect our experience. My favorite thing about Under Canvas is the friendliness of the staff. They were kind, helpful and fast with requests. The beds in the canvas’s were so comfy and the hot water bottles available for night time were genius!! The only negatives thus the 4 stars would have been the lack of seating inside at the restaurant when it’s cold and rainy and the fact our shower had a pull chain so you if you want continuous water you have to keep pulling the handle. My sisters tent had a turn knob so they were good. I might provide a weight that can be hung on the chain while showering. But It wasn’t impossible lol. Thank you Under Canvas for a memorable stay.

The staff was helpful and the tent was a "different" experience. I would recommend fixing the road up to Under Canvas because it was very secluded and bumpy, we thought we were driving into someone's private property.

A fantastic experience! Everything about this property was awesome. The staff were lovely, the facilities were spotlessly clean, the beds were super comfortable, and the whole property was amongst the trees, super peaceful and quiet! As a bonus, Mount Rushmore is visable from their viewing deck which was a wonderful spot for evening drinks and breakfasts! We would definitely stay again!

This is sucha wonderful experience. You will achieve comlete relaxation in this unique experience. The tent was very comfortable and staff were very helpful and informative. Beds were comfortable and clean, as well as plenty of blankets for those chilly nights. Yhe road up to the area is a bit rough so be aware when selecting your vehicle. Beautiful surrounding will steal your breathe and leave lasting memories.

Our stargazing tent was amazing! We had so much fun staying in a glamping tent and the lobby was full of fun board games. The menu was great too- highly suggest trying the braised chicken thigh dish. It was a little pricey for what you get, but still delicious. We gave it four stars because it advertises as kid-friendly, but we felt like everyone was staring at us for having our toddler there. Definitely don’t recommend bringing any kids under than like 6 years old unless they don’t act like a toddler…
