About Roubaix Lake

Roubaix Campground is tucked into a grove of Ponderosa pines along its namesake lake. With a popular swim beach and opportunities for non motorized boating and paddling, campsites are dispersed among four loops, and many offer lake views. At an elevation of 5.5 ft, this camp remains comfortable on hot summer days, and sites are spaced far enough apart to offer ample privacy. This popular camp makes a great base for exploring all the activities and attractions at the lake and in the surrounding area.

Roubaix Lake is a beautiful campground and an excellent place to stay. We loved the lake. The little marina store that is there is wonderful and has so many great things to purchase, along with yummy food options. The campground was close by Mount Rushmore and other sites. We would recommend Roubaix Lake in the Black Hills.

Groups of ATV's and Side by Side constantly drive through the camping area making it very unsafe for the children. The camp host is powerless to say or do anything. They are mocked and pretty much told to go to hell. The ATV trail next to the camp is so dusty from the high speed ATV's. Maybe a little patrolling by the forest service and some Magnesium chloride on the trails especially close to the camp would help a little.

This little lake is perfect and so is the campground! Great for camping, fishing, hiking, crawdad catching, and paddleboarding! There really is something for everyone!

There were an extremely large amount of bugs! We chose to move to another campground.
For perspective, we camped at Bismarck Lake, Stockton North, Keyhole and Roubaix.

We stayed in loop B. The all the campsites in loop b were well spaces and good access to bathrooms and water. No thought traffic on loop b so very few cars drove by.

Lake was a 2-3 minute walk away along a trail.

Campground host were super helpful and friendly. Came around at supper time to check people in and had firewood for sale in back of truck.

Generators were supposed to be turned off at 10 pm, but one RV ran theirs all night both nights we were there.
