Each year, about 2.5 million people flock to South Dakota to get a glimpse of Mount Rushmore, the absolutely massive sculpture carved directly into the side of a mountain between 1927 and 1941 by sculptor Gutzon Borglum. Moreover, while it is certainly a sight to behold, area hotels can become more than a little crowded during the height of summer, which happens to be peak tourist season in the region.

Experience Glamping

That’s where glamping comes in. Under Canvas offers a pop-up campsite to bring visitors closer to Mount Rushmore—with some seriously luxurious amenities.
