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!

We had such a good time. And our two dogs had even more fun. We were all so relaxed. Really enjoyed sitting out in the Mount Rushmore viewing area with a glass of wine after a long drive. The food is really good and the staff is as nice as we’ve found anywhere. Jadz the night manager is great and we love the dude who runs the food area. All of them class acts. We don’t like camping but love UNder Canvas. The tents are awesome.

A fantastic experience! Everything about this property was awesome. The staff were lovely, the facilities were spotlessly clean, the beds were super comfortable, and the whole property was amongst the trees, super peaceful and quiet! As a bonus, Mount Rushmore is visable from their viewing deck which was a wonderful spot for evening drinks and breakfasts! We would definitely stay again!
