What Guests Are Saying
Barney's Campground offers clean, spacious sites with ample shade and easy access to a quiet reservoir, perfect for kayaking and swimming. The well-maintained outhouses enhance the camping experience. However, note that the access road can be challenging, especially for larger vehicles.

NOT good for a trailer/RV; should be advertised as a tent only site. The site is simply a wide spot in the road and it's got a significant slant to it. Morning and evening has shade, but none mid-day. The map is completely wrong in where it shows sites 6 and 7. You turn off the main road down a small road that is between Sites 5 & 8 on the map. Site 6 is along that small road. Site 7 is at the end of that road closer to the water. It's not oriented like the map shows at all. Be prepared for horseflies and mosquitoes. The scenery is beautiful and the lake is the perfect temperature for swimming, but there's not much beach there until the water recedes later in the summer (we went early July).

When we were camped there during the big fire about 3 years ago we had just paid $24 for more nights camping and then were told we had to leave. We were told we would be reimbursed...but after several tries I gave up on that. Very nice "we will look into it for you". But nothing. We believe the forest service up at the Loman Ranger District just stole our money and had a few drinks on us.

Someone took out reserved spot. And there isn't anyone around of authority to help resolve the issue. Ruined the weekend that you plan weeks in advance, get there and someone is already in the spot. Unfortunately probably won't go back to Deadwood again. Really bums me out as I spent many summers there as a child and love the place.
