Overall incredible stay! It was a stunning location and absolutely stellar for children! I wish that there was a way to secure the tents when out and about throughout the day, but the site itself was very private and safe.
Amazing place to stay. The staff were incredible, and the food in the restaurant was really quite good - especially the breakfasts. To be able to grab a glass of wine and sit out on the deck and see Mt Rushmore light up is a treat!
Highly recommend staying at the Mount Rushmore location - very convenient for Mount Rushmore (less than 10 minutes away) The staff were amazing and the food was outstanding- can’t wait to stay at another under canvass property soon!
Nice property it was just too hot to be enjoyable. It was 102 degrees and still 80
At night.
Beds were comfortable. Staff was helpful. Battery powered fans were a life saver!
Bathrooms very good for “camping”
The tent concept is very unique & our two grandsons & us really enjoyed the experience. The tent was clean & everything worked as it should, the staff was very friendly & helpful. Beautiful location & the view of Mt. Rushmore from the deck is awesome.
Under Canvas was absolutely stunning. We loved everything about our stay — the peaceful nature setting, the beautiful views of Mount Rushmore, and the overall atmosphere. The staff was friendly and the food was great. It felt special, relaxing, and memorable. Highly recommend!
The setting was beautiful, peaceful, and close to Mount Rushmore and other Black Hills attractions. We enjoyed the unique glamping experience, the comfortable bed, the camp atmosphere, and the friendly staff. The property was well maintained, and it was a fun way to experience nature while still having some of the comforts of home. When not recommend going in July the heat was unbearable. She pretty much had to stay away from the tent until after the sun went down and then it was pretty miserably hot at night.
We had a wonderful stay at Under Canvas Mount Rushmore. The setting, the atmosphere, and the way the property blends comfort with the Black Hills made it a great experience for our family.
The UnderCanvas Team deserves a lot of credit — everyone we interacted with was friendly, helpful, and genuinely welcoming. The tent setup and amenities were next level, and the overall environment was exactly what we hoped for.
It’s a great base camp for families to visit the surrounding areas.
From check in to check out, our stay was 5 stars. Curtis who welcomed us was very welcoming as were all staff. Our tent was clean, equipped with all we needed and had gorgeous views all around. We had a clear view of Mt. Rushmore on our porch. The meals we had from their onsite restaurant were very good. We enjoyed our total glamping experience here. Highly recommend!
Have butane lighters vs matches and please, please ensure the wood stoves are in good working condition! We did not have use of the wood stoves the first night but mgmt quickly resolved. Good was excellent and we slept like kings! Staff were incredible!
If it’s hot don’t stay. Tents are practically unusable in the day if the temperature is over 90. Breakfast doesn’t start until 7 sunrise in the summer is usually 5:30. You can hear everyone next to you at night. Staff were friendly and great to enact with.
I need to first start out by saying the staff are absolutely amazing. There were some staff that had only been there for a few days, and they were so polite and accommodating. The tents were really well maintained, the bed was super comfy and the ability to see the stars at night was the absolute best!! I can't say enough about this place and how fantastic it was. From the staff, to the food, to the accommodations... we made memories to last a lifetime thanks to this place!!
We traveled to this location during the night and it was incredibly hard to see the road signs leading to it. Most of the roads were dirt and some of them were washed out from rain. It is best to get here during daylight.
Remember that the only power connections are portable batteries that charge mobile phones, devices and fans. Thats part of the fun, but plan accordingly.
