Wonderful way to experience nature/peace in a tourist location. Everything you need for a camping experience is provided (including smores) without the hassle. There is also a view of Mt. Rushmore from the back porch so you can see it 'lit up' at night. We had a thunderstorm during our stay and our tent stayed dry and comfortable. They even picked us up in a golf cart when we got stuck under the craft tent during a sudden lightning storm. We had two tents, and one member needed a C-Pap machine and they kindly brough a large charger so they could use it.
The only complaint would be the abundant hornets (that were frankly everywhere we went in Southern S. Dakota...so not Under Canvases fault). It sounds like they were particularly aggressive this time of year due to winter coming, but it was annoying to deal with them whenever drink/food was present (even water condensation attracted them). Might be worth putting up more traps around the eating areas during this season.
First of all, we aren’t campers! Our tent was away from the parking so they had to take us to our place by way of a golf cart. Hannah was very helpful and friendly. She even helped carry stuff up the trail! Our wood stove was full of water from a recent storm. Joe was there right away to clean out the water and lay a fire for us. Hannah came back to give us a ride back up to the reception/restaurant area. We had a burger and asparagus which were good. Sat around in the reception area which had comfortable chairs and couches, waiting to see Mount Rushmore lit up at night. Got a ride back to the tent. Bed and linens were very nice. Slept well. We enjoyed our stay and our first camp experience!
Great location! And the food at the restaurant is yummy. Kind of pricey at $15-26 a meal. It was pouring down rain when we got there but they had bingo in the main lobby, that was fun. Very convenient drive to Mount Rushmore. You can enjoy a drink on their outside deck and take in the view of the monument, while also enjoying the stars. Bring a lock if you prefer as the tents do not lock. Not being able to lock up my stuff always makes me uncomfortable. The staff were super friendly and accommodating.
