My wife and I loved our stay here. We had a Stargazer tent and the view above the bed was incredible, we even got to see meteors one night! We now want to go and check out some of the other Under Canvas locations, it was top notch!

Great for campers that can't be too far from the washroom. A bit of a trek to get up to, but it's all worth it. Close to shopping and the Mt. Rushmore area.

We really enjoyed our stay. Everyone was polite and the ease to check in and out was great. Food options were good and my breakfast was my favorite! You can’t control what others do but we found it quite and so very clean!

We liked the food and drink options available.
The tent was terrible for sleeping- the bed was creaky and noisy, the wind was whipping the sides of the tent against the bed making it impossible to sleep.

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!
