Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.

The property seemed a little sketchy driving upto it- 4wheel drive/SUV DEFINITELY recommended! After arriving to check in, Daniel (?) greeted us, checked us in and informed us of all we needed to know for our stay. He personally guided us to our unit, which was a nice touch. The unit was clean, private and super cute! My only SUPER complaint was the "Star Gazing" tent we booked ( 400+ per night) to gaze the stars from a 'pillow talk' view. It was obstructed by over grown tree limbs and a dirty/dusty window view :( . The star gazing window was the "sell"--- and was a total let down and disappointment.... otherwise this review would have been a perfect score! Food options and quality from on site Café was GREAT! All staff from kitchen to front desk were friendly, professional, informative and lending. Bonuses not mentioned: wide assortment of FREE games available for family use in common area and sleeping quarters, some commissary items- souvenirs and clothing available for purchase, Nightly Free Smores Campfire time. Beautiful NIGHTLY view of Rushmore Lighting Ceremony (9:30) from on site outdoor patio fully furnished patio deck.
