Under Canvas Mount Rushmore

We have spent years tent camping - we actually met on a Backroads camping trip in the Canadian Rockies. Then we hit our 60s and a teardrop camper was a welcome upgrade. After this "glamping" experience it will be hard to go back. It is us and our dogs - 2 mini golden doodles 2.5 and 17 years old. What a perfect experience. The "tent" was clean, comfortable, and spacious. The bed was huge and nicely appointed with pillows and blankets. Hot showers, flush toilets, and battery powered lanterns and a fan. A wood stove and free s'mores make for a cozy evening. The common areas are lovely and welcoming. The food is delicious. The staff is so friendly and helpful. And the hike around the property was beautiful and peaceful (except for the darn Mt. Rushmore helicopter tours - but the camp cannot help that.) Definitely want to check out other locations!

First, shout out to Grace who helped us with our stuff the morning of check-out! We couldn’t find anyone in the lobby tent, and no one was responding to our texts the morning of check out. Grace happened to drive by with a cart and stopped to help us, including carrying some of our bags to the cart. Thanks Grace! This place looks lovely and allowed us to experience the fun of camping without the difficulty. We enjoyed the crafting offered on Tuesday night, as well as the s’mores and board games. There is a short hiking trail nearby, and a deck with a good view of Mount Rushmore attached to the lobby tent. At check in, we were shown where to park and then someone with a golf cart helped bring our bags to the tent. The food and drinks were good, but expensive (except for the tea/coffee/hot chocolate, which is included). The tent itself was lovely. We used the stove (with some help from the staff) but we let the fire go out fairly quickly as it got pretty warm. We had a private toilet and shower, but be warned that there is no real door to either - just a half wall! For a tent, the shower had great water pressure and temperature. It is expensive! My friend and I were a little disappointed when we could only book a tent with one king bed, as no tents were offered that contained two queens / fulls / even twins. At the price we paid, I was also a little disappointed that check out felt so strange, no one around to help or clarify what we needed to do to officially check out.

Under Canvas is a fun, unique experience! The staff are welcoming, professional, and kind! My family and I enjoyed our tent! It was very clean. The beds were comfortable and the linens as my granddaughter said, “Smelled very fresh!”Although it was over a 100 degrees with no real fans to speak of lol, once we opened up the tent the airflow cooled it down and it really cooled off at night which was wonderful. We enjoyed the nightly activity/craft and games available. The food was good and we enjoyed the outside seating. I also appreciated how safe I felt there, as staff regularly patrol the grounds. Under Canvas is close to other local attractions, such as Mt. Rushmore, where we went to the nightly lighting ceremony. The 1880 Train station, Holy Terror Golf is Keystone, and other fun local attractions. We will definitely stay again.

My first “yurt” experience was a great one. Nice common areas, cozy tents, friendly staff & healthy, delicious food options in the restaurant. I would definitely stay again at another Under Canvas

We really enjoyed our stay. The only bummer was that we seemed to be near a tent with teenagers and kids that were quite loud between 9 pm and 11 pm on a weekday.

This place is AMAZING! Staff is incredibly accommodating, the tents are clean and nicely appointed, the food and selections are high quality, and the overall resort convenient to every national park. Incredible!!
