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!

We had such a good time. And our two dogs had even more fun. We were all so relaxed. Really enjoyed sitting out in the Mount Rushmore viewing area with a glass of wine after a long drive. The food is really good and the staff is as nice as we’ve found anywhere. Jadz the night manager is great and we love the dude who runs the food area. All of them class acts. We don’t like camping but love UNder Canvas. The tents are awesome.

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!

Disliked: Amenities
A lot of stuff wasn’t explained when checked in. How to use shower, how to get hot water, how to start fire stove and how to keep running, where’s comforter for sofa bed, where’s dryer etc. Every staff has different skills with fire stove and some staff even can’t start the fire and expect us to do it was too much to ask. The location was wonderful and staff were friendly. But needed more information and instruction.

The experience you have is highly dependent on which specific tent location you're assigned (luck of the draw). Our first night we were given a tent immediately next to the parking lot, and all night we had to hear car doors slamming shut, car horns honking, and had lights shining into our tent. It was a horrible experience and not what I signed up for when paying almost $500 a night for a getaway in nature. Fortunately we were able to move tents to one of the best locations on the property for our second and third nights. But the variability and uncertainty in tent location make me doubt I'd stay there again.

I love the stay in my tent and I didn't even have to punt up the yent. It took my back to thinking of camping with my Daddy. I was able to view the stars and see Mount Rushmore from the facilities. I like having the convenience of the bathroom in my tent. I like the seclusion and privacy of my tent. Things the could improve on are adding an electric socket to each tent. I always had electricity at my campsite. When they ran plumbing they could have easily ran electrical too. The downfall of not having electricity is that their power banks only charged my phone halfway. It died at Mount Rushmore so I could not take anymore photos until I was back at my car. Also the hot water tank could be larger.

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.
