Rapid City Journal reports on the first glamour camping, or glamping, resort opening in the Black Hills. Under Canvas-Mount Rushmore, situated among the stately pines and granite formations about a mile and a half southeast of Keystone, consists of 52 roomy canvas tent cabins with multiple floor plans. It joins four other camps currently operated by Under Canvas that serve Yellowstone, Glacier and Zion national parks, with another in Moab, Utah, close to Arches and Canyonlands national parks. Two more camps in the Great Smoky Mountains in Tennessee and the Grand Canyon in Arizona are slated to open later this year.
According to Rapid City Journal writer Jim Holland, "All tents are erected on solid wood frames with a full floor and an exterior deck." The basic tent setup, called the Safari, is a single, cabin-sized tent with close access to a communal bathhouse. The Deluxe, Stargazer and Suite options include a full bathroom with toilet, sink basin and shower stall included. All tents include small wood-burning stoves. Meals are served in the Embers Restaurant and the check-in/lobby area. Many tent cabins also have a view of Mount Rushmore Memorial. The resort had a soft opening on May 24, with the grand opening on June 4. Under Canvas Mount Rushmore will operate on a seasonal basis until Oct. 1. The tents and all interior furnishings will be taken down and stored until the resort reopens for the 2019 season, when the resort will expand to 75 tents.
