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.
Under the Canvas Mt Rushmore was even better than our family could've imagined. Our suite was nicely outfitted and the views over the valley were beautiful and peaceful.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. I hope I have the chance to visit again!
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…
This is my first time staying with Under Canvas and I will definitely try it again. Highly recommend! I stayed at the Keystone/ SD site for my 26th wedding anniversary with my hubby. It was magical with the night sky and stargazing! At around 8:30pm we saw the lights turn on at Mount Rushmore national Monument. We could see it from our deck! The food was good and staff friendly and professional! Extra nice to have free coffee and tea for guests! Truly memorable. Thank you!
We arrived late and still had excellent service. We were carted to our tent (to help with luggage) even though it was close enough to parking to walk. She started a fire for us because it was in the 40s and there were also plenty of nice blankets. The beds were comfortable. Overall very nice and unique experience.
