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 5,500 feet, 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.

Number of accommodations: 29

We love camping at Roubaix lake but this trip was filled with dogs running off leash, generators running around the clock, and drunk people yelling at all hours of the evening. We will be back but hope to go back to our “normal” spot away from so much rudeness

This campsite was beautiful! Our lot was right on the lake and even though there was a lot of kids down by the lake all day, the noise did not carry very much. The campsite hosts were welcoming and helpful during the whole stay. The grounds were clean and easy to find. There were plenty of places to go walking around the site as well. The only thing that I would say is that the bathrooms near our lot were pretty gross and did not lock at all. Also notable, no cell service which is okay for me but not everyone may like that.

What we did: Deadwood was only a few miles away! Lots of restaurants and bars as well as live music. We also were able to spend a day in Custer and Keystone (only about an hour away.) Perfect for hiking and sightseeing.

Nice sites. Campground name should be changed to Roubaix Pond rather than Lake as it is essentially a SMALL pond!

The campground has large individual sites, plenty of room for family to play without disturbing neighbors. Camp hosts are friendly and helpful. The area is beautiful and centrally located to all black hills attractions

Policies & Rules

Cancellation policy

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
  • Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
  • Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.

Site types & loops

  • Generators are allowed from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. at non-electric campsites.

Fees & deposits

  • A fee of $2 per pet per night is charged at check-in.
