  Une nuit sous les étoiles c’est tout simplement magique. La tente est sublime le décor magnifique, l’accueil chaleureux et sympathique et la vue sur Le Mont Rushmore unique. Ambiance glamping garanti

  Just returned from a two night stay at Under Canvas Mt. Rushmore and had a fabulous time. The location is quiet, wooded, private and very close to Mt. Rushmore. You can see the heads from the deck while enjoying a glass of wine. And it is very convenient to Crazy Horse and Custer State Park. We enjoyed the spacious tents (ready to drop your things and go). The bed and bedding were good. Be sure to request a hot water bottle for added warmth/comfort on cold nights. They provide golf carts to tote luggage (and you, if needed) to your tent. The bathroom in your tent is a must. Flushing toilet, sink and hot shower. Water got hot quickly. You do have to hold the chain but it is camping after all. The best things overall were the service and food. Friendly, helpful, quick checkin and transfer to our tent. Brought more matches promptly when we called. We had dinner twice and breakfast once and all were unexpectedly excellent. The ingredients were very fresh and entrees prepared very well. Not just your ordinary burger or breakfast sandwich! In fact, we enjoyed meals here over other stops during our trip. We also really enjoyed the live music on Friday evening. Added touch that was a great close to a busy day out and about.

  My husband and I haven't been camping in over 40 years. The experience was tremendous. Definitely camping but with all the amenities. Location (Black Hills/Mount Rushmore) and staff were also top-notch. You will not be disappointed.

  This is not glamping, nor is it camping—it’s just an expensive tent with very little comfort. While the tents were clean and nicely set up, they lacked the amenities you’d expect for the price. There was no comfortable seating—just worn-out chairs inside and stiff deck chairs on the porch. No power, no "in tent" coffee, no small comforts that make “glamping” worth it. You can also hear your neighbors talking, zipping tents, and other busy campground sounds all night. The food was disappointing. $40 entrées served in paper bowls, clearly reheated and not fresh despite what’s advertised online. Ordering is at the counter—like a cafeteria, not a “premium dining experience.” On top of that, items were “out” or simply unavailable, and staff made little effort to find alternatives. The location is beautiful. During our visit in September, it was clear the staff were burnt out and just counting down the days until closing. A bartender sighed when asked for a drink, and when I asked for decaf coffee in the evening to enjoy the observation deck, " we are out" the server said, along with the comment, “20 more days and I can finally get out of here.” The next morning, decaf coffee sitting out, so apparently they were not out, just did not feel like going and getting it out of the back for guests. Hardly the warm hospitality they promote. While I understand stays are prepaid, I now suspect it’s because many people have similar experiences. We were so unhappy we actually checked out a day early. When I asked if they’d consider a partial or full refund, the front desk girl just gave me a blank stare and said, “Yes, you can check out early, sorry you didn’t like it.” That was the extent of their customer care. The idea is great, and the setting is gorgeous, but the reality is frustrating. If you come, be prepared for camping in a nice tent with a lantern—not glamping with any level of service or comfort. Definitely not worth what you pay, and I wouldn’t return.
