This is “glamping” at its best. Thoughtful and unique design elements. Beautiful vistas everywhere. Privacy and yet community accessibility in the same place - footsteps away. The view of Mount Rushmore was a bonus feature. The food was so much better than expected. I would highly recommend.

Not worth the price

Overall, I don’t think the place/amenities are worth it. I got a suite since I was on a long road trip and wanted to shower as well. The on-site dining is fantastic. If you have not gone camping before and you want to start off with “glamping” this might be a suitable option. My soap dispenser was broken and one of the fans didn’t work. I personally don’t think it’s worth the price. I was supposed to get a bandana for my dog which I never received either. The room was also very dirty. Items left over clearly from previous guests. Very disappointing.

My wife and I loved our stay here. We had a Stargazer tent and the view above the bed was incredible, we even got to see meteors one night! We now want to go and check out some of the other Under Canvas locations, it was top notch!

My first “yurt” experience was a great one. Nice common areas, cozy tents, friendly staff & healthy, delicious food options in the restaurant. I would definitely stay again at another Under Canvas

We liked the food and drink options available. The tent was terrible for sleeping- the bed was creaky and noisy, the wind was whipping the sides of the tent against the bed making it impossible to sleep.

Great for campers that can't be too far from the washroom. A bit of a trek to get up to, but it's all worth it. Close to shopping and the Mt. Rushmore area.

Between camping and glamping

A great experience as long as you know what to expect. Did not expect lack of electricity in tent, only small battery powered fans to beat the heat. Very rough terrain to tent, dangerous for elderly. Tent and bathroom clean, except for cowhide on the floor. Staff great, loved being able to bring our dog to dinner. She rated the stay “incredible”!
