The night sky
The Milky Way is faint overhead on the clearest nights; the brighter stars and constellations are easy.

Well laid out. Nice facilities. Tent with shower and toilet was great!
Service was a bit slack. Shower was out of shampoo and body gel … requested that it be serviced, they said they would get on it and also bring fresh towels … never did. The season ends in two weeks, so they may have been a bit “end-of-season” oriented.
It was an incredible stay that all of us enjoyed. If I hadn’t been so tired I would have enjoyed sitting by one of the c
Unique setting and location
We like everything!
I loved being in nature and not bothered. I also loved the views! It was storming when I got there and the stargazing tent was such a wonderful experience especially in the rain, thunder and lighting!
There was a mouse in my toilet when I arrived at 2:30 am. Unsure how it got in there as the lid was closed. The next morning I woke up and went to brush my teeth and didn’t realize the water wasn’t working and I already had a mouth full of tooth paste. Would’ve been nice to get a message of “hey we’re working on the water and it will be fixed shortly”
It was only 10 minutes from Mount Rushmore. Free s’mores in the evening. The food wasn’t bad either . The hotel staff was nice and accommodating for anything you needed . Peaceful evening in the trees and star gazing and a perfect view of Mount Rushmore off in the distance

The location is great--just down the road from the main street of Keystone. The tents are sturdy, the furniture and set up is attractive, the bathroom & shower are nice. When my family had an emergency and had to leave early, the manager and the workers were very helpful.
I honestly did not realize that there wasn't any electricity or air conditioning. I had never "glamped" before, and I just assumed that, if there was a working bathroom & shower, then that meant it had everything. My mistake! We were provided lanterns and small fans to keep in our room. (along with batteries to plug into) This definitely added to the 'theme' of staying in a tent!
Relaxing, Safe, Comfortable, A+
The canvas tents were very nice - Our view from #58 was absolutely beautiful. warm and cozy on our 36-degree nights
If anything, I am really searching for something, it would be to have sweeteners (Equal or something) for coffee for diabetics.
