Discover the Ultimate Glamping Experience Near Mount Rushmore

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.

Each campsite comes with a luxury canvas tent, plush bedding, lighting, and more. However, if you upgrade to a suite or deluxe tent option, you’ll also get your own en suite bathroom with organic bath products and a wood stove to keep you toasty all night long.

Amenities and Activities

Oh, and don’t fret about food either. Breakfast offerings include bottomless coffee and hot menu items like steel-cut oats and frittatas. Additionally, dinner might feature a generous charcuterie board or roasted trout. S’mores around a communal fire are complimentary.

Also included in the tent rate are complimentary activities such as morning yoga and live music. Consequently, if you’re looking for some guidance on area attractions, Under Canvas has that covered. The team has curated a list of their favorite activities and will assist you in planning the ultimate summer vacation itinerary.

Just remember: These glamping sites are only available in the warm-weather months from the beginning of May through the end of September. Additionally, this Under Canvas location serves as an excellent base for exploring Mount Rushmore, South Dakota’s Black Hills, and nearby Custer State Park.

So go ahead and embrace this throwback summer vacation with a modern twist. Also, don’t forget to capture your memories with your Kodak camera.
