We really enjoyed our stay. The only bummer was that we seemed to be near a tent with teenagers and kids that were quite loud between 9 pm and 11 pm on a weekday.

Just be prepared for how basic this is and definitely know what the temperatures are going to be. The tent is barren and you’ll find minimal comfort inside. We froze at night - could literally see our breath in the morning bc no one can wake up every hour or so to put a new log in the little stove. There wasn’t even a little clicker-lighter, so we ran out of matches trying to light kindling at 3am. No robes or slippers to keep you warm while trying to make fire. In the day, it was uncomfortably warm and all you get is a hockey puck-sized fan that plugs into a USB. The toilet situation is, let’s say, extremely intimate. Where our tent was located, we could hear every car on the gravel at all hours. However, there are bright spots: the staff is wonderful and the central lobby/clubhouse tent was very nice with live music, an observation deck to see Mt. Rushmore, and fire pits with s’mores. Personally, I just don’t think you can fairly call this glamping. It absolutely wasn’t.

My husband and I truly enjoyed our stay at Under Canvas. We ended up there on a very wet Memorial day so it was a bit challenging with all the mud. However, we chose to go glamping so we didn’t let it affect our experience. My favorite thing about Under Canvas is the friendliness of the staff. They were kind, helpful and fast with requests. The beds in the canvas’s were so comfy and the hot water bottles available for night time were genius!! The only negatives thus the 4 stars would have been the lack of seating inside at the restaurant when it’s cold and rainy and the fact our shower had a pull chain so you if you want continuous water you have to keep pulling the handle. My sisters tent had a turn knob so they were good. I might provide a weight that can be hung on the chain while showering. But It wasn’t impossible lol. Thank you Under Canvas for a memorable stay.

The staff was helpful and the tent was a "different" experience. I would recommend fixing the road up to Under Canvas because it was very secluded and bumpy, we thought we were driving into someone's private property.

A fantastic experience! Everything about this property was awesome. The staff were lovely, the facilities were spotlessly clean, the beds were super comfortable, and the whole property was amongst the trees, super peaceful and quiet! As a bonus, Mount Rushmore is visable from their viewing deck which was a wonderful spot for evening drinks and breakfasts! We would definitely stay 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…
