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.

Host was very helpful and even stopped by our campsite to make sure we got settled okay. The bathroom, although pit toilet and only one - that was shared by a very full loop, was exceptionally clean and fresh smelling. Site 15 is totally a sloped mess (but with a lovely view). We're a 23' trailer, but I don't think a tent or even class B could find a level spot. Otherwise though, the lake was a lovely walk and lots of roads/trails to explore. With all of the campers in this park (fills up every weekend), you would think the park could afford a dump station and water fill. None are at this park. The recommended dump station at RV park nearby wanted $20 for dump and $20 for water fill. That seemed over-the-top.

Beautiful campsite. Spots are spacious, but not private with tall lovely trees but no undergrowth. Typical in Black Hills. Small lake with pretty and clear water We suggest the short trail around lake and also up the hill on far side of lake Only real disappointment was cleanliness of outhouse. It was obviously not cleaned the day we arrived. The next morning we saw the young man who came to clean. He emptied the small trash can and sprayed something. He did not sweep the floor and the things that spilled on the floor after he emptied the trashcan were simply left there. Very incomplete job. Then it was appalling to us that he took the large commercial roll of toilet paper, still in its original packaging and dumped it in the outside garbage. Perhaps he didn’t need it, but……. What a waste and environmental mistake!
