Yep, that’s right: those wanting to get up close and personal with giant stone statues depicting George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln, can now ditch the hotel experience and spend a few nights out under the stars.

Not that the Under Canvas experience is camping as you might know it. Even as far as glamping trips go, Under Canvas offers a distinctly luxe getaway.

The Under Canvas tents are massive, with the deluxe version boasting a private bathroom, a king-size bed, and a private deck for late-night Mount Rushmore-gazing.

Even the Safari Tent, Under Canvas’ cheapest accommodation option, boasts a massive, spacious sleeping quarters, complete with an attached shared bathroom. (No need to dig a dirt hole to poop in!)

Better yet, the Mount Rushmore location has been set up like a mini tent city.

That means you don’t have to stray far for lunch: you can just wander up into the main tent, a restaurant that boasts everything from snacks to picnic lunches to full-blown steak dinners.

Of course, it wouldn’t be an American camping trip without a bonfire and some s’mores, so hungry campers can cook their own melted, chocolate-y delights on the communal fire.

The campsite is a wi-fi free zone, but who would possibly complain about that?
