Under Canvas Mount Rushmore

"My wife found this when searching for lodging near Mt Rushmore. We haven't tent camped since we were in our late 20's and are in our 70's now, but this looked fun. The tents are top notch with King bed, toilet and shower. Campground was clean, quiet and each tent is situated for privacy. Ours was #12 and very secluded. Bed was super comfy with lots of blankets, but it can still get chilly at night in late September. My only suggestion to management would be to replace the tiny wood stove with either pellet stoves or propane heaters. Waking up every hour or two to stoke the fire was a bit of a chore. The staff is fantastic, are genuinely dedicated to catering to your every need, and everyone we had contact with was super pleasent and accommodating. My wife realized she left her Kindle Reader in the tent when we checked out, and when I called, Simeon immediately went to the tent, retrieved the Kindle, and called me back to ask if we wanted to come back and pick it up, or should he mail it to us. We went back to retrieve it since we were still in the area. The food from the resturaunt was excellent, the outdoor deck area was a fantastic place to watch the sunset and you can see the lighting ceremony at Mt Rushmore from there. Great place to meet fellow campers as well. The location is perfectly situated to easily visit Mt Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Custer State Park, the Badlands and other attractions in the area. If you like a campground feel, without the campground work that goes with it, you will love this place. Highly recommended, and would give it 5 stars across the board if they offered pellet or propane heat."

"We absolutely loved our time at Under Canvas. We only spent one night, and everything was great. The food is even better than I thought it would be. The staff is so friendly. They help you take your luggage to your tent since you can't drive right up to the tent. They are also just a text or call away at all times if you need anything. The tents and grounds are very clean. They have several fire pits and give you free ingredients to make s'mores. You can see Mount Rushmore in the distance and are only a 10-15 minute drive to the actual monument. I highly recommend staying here."

"This was the best way to end our adventures! The staff was top notch and was so accomodating! The facilities were clean and had everything we needed! The deck to sit out and look at Mt. Rushmore was awesome and had such great furniture...they turned on the heat lamps and brought us blankets! So cozy looking at the stars. Food at the restaurant was great as well. Everyone seemed happy to be working there! Great experience overall. This was my 3rd Under Canvas stay and you get a consistent experience each time! Thank you!"

"My two daughters and I stayed a couple of nights at Under Canvas. We absolutely loved it. The staff was friendly and very helpful. We did the evening hike on our first night there and got a bit of a workout on the uphill section, which was nice after having been in the car all day. There were plenty of bed coverings to keep us warm at night, so we chose not to to start the stove. We all had a good nights sleep. We will definitely stay here again the next time that we are in the Black Hills."

"We decided to stop here on our way moving across the country. We were so impressed! The tent was comfortable, the staff were efficient and friendly and the view was unbelievable! The whole place is dog friendly. The back deck has a distant view of Mt. Rushmore. They even provide all the makings for S'mores and outdoor fire pits to enjoy them. My only complaint is that we didn't have enough time. Oh, the food was gourmet! They have vegetarian and vegan offerings and they were exceptional. I highly recommend Under Canvas."
