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.

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!

We were very impressed with the tent lodging experience without all the work. We loved the quiet and serenity of the forest until late evening and the other campers arrived. That is when we realized the tents are way too close together. And not soundproof putting us at the mercy of other campers fun and loud conversations.

This was the cleanest and most peaceful stay I’ve ever had! Woke up to the sunrise gleaming through my tent door. Highly recommend!

Under Canvass is an excellent “chain” of glamping sites. A large deck had a distant view of Mt. Rushmore. This is a fantastic way to camp and see great places. Tent was extremely comfortable. Staff was super friendly and accommodation. Expensive but worth it.

Our stay was amazing, our first glamping experience and it was very peaceful and friendly. The food was the only disappointment. Menu was adequate but the quality of what you received wasn’t worth the price. I.e. the graze board had weird cheese. Uninteresting meat and no crackers other than 4 pieces of toast. I recommend the head chef go out for a real charcuterie board and adjust his menu accordingly. Otherwise every thing was lovely

Exceptional experience! Park staff was very friendly and accommodating. Great little restraunt with glutton-free options. The view of Mount Rushmore from the patio was amazing! The “tent” was deluxe exceeding our expectations!

Amazing stay at Under Canvas in South Dakota. Beautiful night view of Mt Rushmore.

A unique experience if you are tired of staying in the hotels. Huge step up from camping but so is the cost. This property was within short drive to the center of Keystone and Mt Rushmore. The staff is very enthusiastic and tries their best to be accommodating and helpful. Some of the amenities could use some improvement.

We stayed two nights here while visiting Mount Rushmore (part of a multi-state road trip), two adults and two children. These tents are so fun! Our first day, temps were in the triple digits and the two fans offered were pretty small. We opted to go have dinner somewhere cool. They said it wouldn't cool off much, but it really did! Sleeping wasn't a hassel at all! And the beds were some of the most comfortable beds we've ever slept in. Staff were all amazing, informative, helpful, personable... we enjoyed speaking with everyone we came across. Kids really enjoyed the free smores kits! Our second night, there was a good storm. We even stayed out in the first bit of rain just to make smores! It was really fun listening to the storm in the tents too! The place was extremely clean for being tents, too. Highly recommend a fun experience like this!

Under Canvas is an experience like no other. Grounds and the breathtaking views were stunning. Amenities were everything you could ask for from a ‘glamping’ experience. Star gazer tent was perfect - it rained during our stay and the rain on the roof was relaxing - once the clouds cleared the stars were so clear and bright and made the experience. The bed and in tent amenities were perfect.
The staff was beyond excellent. They take you on a tour when you arrive and go over everything in detail you need to know during your stay, then they assist you with loading up your luggage and take you by golf cart to your tent. They offer complimentary s’mores - unfortunately due to the thunderstorms we weren’t able to take advantage of this but such a nice touch.
This won’t be our last stay. If you’re unsure because of the price - it’s so worth it. My boyfriend and I are so glad we did this.
