Tents in the Forest.
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.

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.
Central to drive to many parks and sites.
It is super cool with amazing elevated tents, super friendly staff and amazing meals. The stargazer tents are so fun and indeed we saw the Milky Way. Highly recommend.

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.
