Loved this campground. Very clean and staff helpful and informative. Quiet. My only wish is that they would further limit hours that generators are allowed.

Boondockers only! No generators at night! No showers houses or water hookups or dump station! No signal! That being said the scenery is beautiful and the hosts are very kind. Site we were initially booked on our rv couldn’t even level on. We won’t return as we prefer at least some access to water sewer and electrical and our 47 foot rig was far to big for these small slanted spots…

Even though it was a rainy trip, Sheridan lake was beautiful and quiet! Just note- camp host are volunteers and are very nice but also still learning their ways too….so it can be a little slower at first. Close to Rapid City and Mount Rushmore…I would totally go back again!

This is Noah B from ND. He caught his first bass. I told him I'd post his picture. I hope you find it Noah. Nice fish and God bless!

Only complaint was the condition of the outhouses, otherwise beautiful campsite

Says it has fresh water at the site, but does not allow RVs to hook up and fill up. Roads are super tight. But overall a nice campground with access to the lake

Clean, easy access all camping neighbors we encountered were super kind. Wood sold on sight. Conveniently close to Rushmore and Crazy Horse! 👍

I've road-tripped to this campground numerous times from Wisconsin and there's a reason why I keep coming back. It's a very quiet and clean campground. You will not find the typical obnoxious tourist who comes here, is loud the whole time, then leaves their campsite a mess when they leave. The facilities are clean and the lake (along with the surrounding area) are beautiful! Plus, there is plenty to do in the nearby town of Hill City, SD. I will continue to road trip here!

We had site 32, which was nice and shaded. My main issue was the fact that even though there was water available on site, all handles were taken off so you had to go to a campground a few miles down the highway to fill up. We had to pay $5. This also applied to dumping, which cost $15. There was full hook up sites yet no dump station according to the staff, which didn't add up to us. The vaulted toilets were fly infested and barely usable. I would not recommend staying here more than a night if that.

The water was like glass when we arrived around 8. We saw cranes, turtles, minnows, goose and goslings. The absolute highlight as far as wildlife goes is that we saw a bald eagle swoop down, catch a fish and fly back to its nest. Phenomenal. We rented kayaks, which were Old Town Vapor Anglers. The kayaks were tippy and didn’t track well, but we would rent them again. As of 5/17 park admission is $7 for a day pass. The road to north shore was under construction and appeared closed but was definitely open for you to get to the boat rentals.
