Visiting Mt. Rushmore with no prior planning was challenging. Having never glamped, staying here was a delightful western experience. The staff was very helpful, the accommodations were exactly as described, the bed very comfortable. It was an enjoyable sleep. The dining was very affordable and quite delicious. Overall it was one of the highlights of our five day trip to the Black Hills and Badlands. Without doubt, we would stay at an Under Canvas facility again.

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!

Verified review

6/10 Good

Positives: tents were cool (weather feature great!), beds comfy, lobby very nice, food def decent, staff responsive, smores a nice amenity, location to attractions good. Place needs a general overhaul. Road to enter is quite rough. Grounds are not well lit, paths to tents are very uneven. Wood burning stoves in tents are a great concept but are certainly not user friendly. Hard to start/maintain a fire, tent filled with smoke multiple times despite following instructions to a t and plenty of supplies offered. Honestly a bit disappointing; expected a bit more based on website depiction and cost.

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.

10/10 Exceptional

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!

Our anniversary trip to Under Canvas was an experience we’ll never forget. Waking up to the incredible scenery each morning and ending our days under the stars created memories we’ll cherish for years to come. The setting was absolutely breathtaking—glamping at its finest. We loved being immersed in nature without sacrificing comfort. The food was delicious, and every meal felt like part of the celebration. What stood out most was the thoughtful staff. Their kindness and attention to detail made us feel genuinely welcomed and helped make our anniversary extra special. Thank you for helping create such wonderful memories. We can’t wait to return someday and relive the magic all over again.
