More details

Also
Given the outdoor – and largely undisturbed – nature of this camp, areas of the resort may be difficult if you have limited mobility.
Please note
Food isn’t allowed in any of the tents here, in line with Under Canvas’s Mindful Approach to your pristine surroundings.
Hotel closed
The camp will close on 30 September 2024. For 2025, it will open from 1 May until 29 September.
At the hotel
Lululemon mats and blocks to borrow, acoustic guitars to borrow, campfires with s’mores, refillable aluminum water bottles, water refill stations, free hot drinks, board games, guest experience coordinators and a small boutique. In tents: USB battery packs, battery-powered fans, a wood-burning stove, lanterns and organic Essential Oils bath products.
Our favourite rooms
Go for a romantic Stargazer tent – each has a sky-spying window above its king-size bed – and cozy up under the cosmos. Families can spread out with a Suite tent or choose a Stargazer or Deluxe tent with an adjacent Kids’ Tent.
Packing tips
You’ll want outdoorsy threads that can cater to hikes among the rockscapes as well as river-based adventures, and enough reading material, along with cards or travel Scrabble, to entertain after dusk.
Also
here’s no WiFi here, and you won’t find any TVs around, meaning evenings tend to be filled with stargazing, fireside music and s’mores.
Pet‐friendly
Four-legged friends are welcome to stay in all tents, for $25 each a night, but must be kept with you (and on a lead) at all times. Please note that at Mount Rushmore National Memorial, there are two dedicated walking areas that you’ll need to stick to. See more pet-friendly hotels in Mount Rushmore.
Children
Welcome; there’s no kids’ club or babysitting, but spacious Suite tents, a choice of options with adjacent kids’ tents, and family-friendly activities included with your stay make Under Canvas Mount Rushmore an all-ages favorite.
Sustainability efforts
As part of the company’s Mindful Approach to development and operations, Under Canvas Mount Rushmore has been designed to minimize disturbance, maximize open spaces, and flow with the natural topography of the land. Pull-chain showers and low-flow toilets reduce water usage; cleaning and bath products are selected to reduce damage to the environment, and low-level lighting limits light pollution. There’s no WiFi and electricity has been replaced with rechargeable battery packs, which power fans and provide USB ports; reusable water bottles are provided to cut single-use plastic, and the cutlery is biodegradable and compostable. In addition, Under Canvas works closely with global non-profit, the Nature Conservancy, to educate and help mitigate the threats of climate change.
