Horsethief Lake Campground

Beautiful campground and beautiful lake. So private and serene. Will definitely go back. Loved it and the camp hosts were wonderful!

The campground and lake are beautiful. The sites are spacious with wonderful shade trees. The fishing was great! The park ranger was very kind and helpful. The only negative was that the camp hosts were rather overbearing and kept looking for things to harass us and fellow campers about. It is definitely a place I would like to stay again but hopefully with a different camp host.

I have been camping at Horse Thief Lake personally and with groups of students on mission trips since 1994. Just finished a six day run in the Hills at Horse Thief Lake campground with 16 students and three chaperones. I cannot imagine a more beautiful place to rest my head in these magical Black Hills. Lee and Helen, the campground hosts are amazing. The camp ground is beautifully maintained, they can answer every question, they are very vigilant and consider protocol, behavior, and safety among all campers a priority. When I am in the Black Hills, I cannot imagine any other place that I would rather stay personally or with my family or with groups. Highly recommended!

This is a beautiful campground and a nice lake. However the website is misleading about how big your site is. Be aware that the size of your RV and your vehicle need to be measured to fit into the site. . Our site we reserved was too Small but the Camp host did find a site to accommodate us in a first come first serve site. There were too many dogs that were not leashed. The bathrooms were dirty and at times ran out of toilet paper.

we had spot 18 and had a great view at the lake. We even saw an eagle.

Fantastic walk-sites very close to the lake. Would definitely come back and stay here!

We only stayed for two nights but it was a perfect campground. Had everything we needed for a couple of days - ‘bathroom’, water, could buy ice and firewood. No service, but as to be expected. It is not far from the highway, so you can hear cars. Try to get a lakeside view if you can! Great views in the morning and evenings.
