This is sucha wonderful experience. You will achieve comlete relaxation in this unique experience. The tent was very comfortable and staff were very helpful and informative. Beds were comfortable and clean, as well as plenty of blankets for those chilly nights. Yhe road up to the area is a bit rough so be aware when selecting your vehicle. Beautiful surrounding will steal your breathe and leave lasting memories.

Under the Canvas Mt Rushmore was even better than our family could've imagined. Our suite was nicely outfitted and the views over the valley were beautiful and peaceful. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I hope I have the chance to visit again!

Our stargazing tent was amazing! We had so much fun staying in a glamping tent and the lobby was full of fun board games. The menu was great too- highly suggest trying the braised chicken thigh dish. It was a little pricey for what you get, but still delicious. We gave it four stars because it advertises as kid-friendly, but we felt like everyone was staring at us for having our toddler there. Definitely don’t recommend bringing any kids under than like 6 years old unless they don’t act like a toddler…

This is my first time staying with Under Canvas and I will definitely try it again. Highly recommend! I stayed at the Keystone/ SD site for my 26th wedding anniversary with my hubby. It was magical with the night sky and stargazing! At around 8:30pm we saw the lights turn on at Mount Rushmore national Monument. We could see it from our deck! The food was good and staff friendly and professional! Extra nice to have free coffee and tea for guests! Truly memorable. Thank you!

We arrived late and still had excellent service. We were carted to our tent (to help with luggage) even though it was close enough to parking to walk. She started a fire for us because it was in the 40s and there were also plenty of nice blankets. The beds were comfortable. Overall very nice and unique experience.

A great place to relax and switch off. Our tent was wonderful. We were impressive with the bathroom, beauty comfy bed and linens, the stove to take the chill of the morning, our decking and everything about it!

Oh where to start.... the good: proximity to Mt Rushmore is perfection. Their observation deck has great views. The property- gorgeous. Front desk staff, Tara, was amazing! She went above and beyond. Tent looked awesome, great photo ops but it went down hill from there. BADS: Tent, loud! Anytime anyone walked it shook the bed and furniture. Annoying. Bed was beyond uncomfortable. I really thought it was going to be perfect, but neither my husband or I slept all night. Kids were on the pull out and said it was uncomfortable. Shower water temp was lukewarm, and we did hold down the water pulley for a long time prior- hoping it would eventually warm up. I did see this in other reviews. Water is on propane and you smell propane everytime itnis used. The bed is near the propane system set up so it was strong smelling. I did look at the system to see if we could turn up the 'water heater' device (nope). NO OUTLETS. Not their fault I didnt catch this but good to notate. They do provide 2 battery packs for the couple lights. Lights, need more. Grateful we had our mega flashlights, lols. Neighbors snoring/coughing & coming all hours of the late night was also annoying but part of the experience, I guess. The Restaurant was SO BAD. Like really bad. It was pricier but expected however the kids food was burnt, like the burgers were literally charred like a burnt cracker. Cobb salad was poor presentation and sloppy. Large chunks of veggies, no dressing- definitely no way work $20.
