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.

This is “glamping” at its best. Thoughtful and unique design elements. Beautiful vistas everywhere. Privacy and yet community accessibility in the same place - footsteps away. The view of Mount Rushmore was a bonus feature. The food was so much better than expected. I would highly recommend.

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.
