Sheridan Lake

I love to camp at this lake. Sites are spaced well and most are easy to get in and out of. The hosts have been very helpful and the bathrooms are always clean.

We really liked the campground. Nice mostly level site on dirt. Sites were spread out. There are trees and a grass area in the campsite and a nice view of the lake. Pit toilets were clean and didn’t have a bad smell. Close to many places around Mt Rushmore. Road work going on made access a little more difficult.

Best Campground in the state !

Staff at the check in station are always very kind

Nice place, nice restrooms

What a nice camping spot, hosts were very nice and it was a great getaway.

This campground is a great choice if you can’t secure a spot at more popular spots and have an RV. It’s just alright if you’re tent camping. It’s about 30 minutes from Custer state park, an hour from Spearfish canyon and an hour from Wind cave and the views on the drive are unbeatable.

The site I stayed at (001) is alright, a good amount of shade but it’s literally 15 feet from the entrance to the campground. For me, I wish I could’ve had more privacy and not hear every bit of traffic entering and leaving. It was a short distance from the toilet which was nice. That being said, the staff was amazing and extremely helpful with recommendations and just friendly and pleasant people.

While it’s beautiful and peaceful (sometimes, there’s construction I heard throughout the nights during my stay), it’s as primitive camping as it can get without being backcountry camping. The bathrooms are pit toilets and a spigot for drinking water is the only amenities you have. Google will tell you there’s showers on site but there isn’t and you can’t use the spigot for dishes or anything. You’re told a campground 5 minutes away has WiFi and a shower but when I went, it was run down and I just left. I guess if you’re experienced with this and don’t mind, it’s not a big deal. However my whole trip was centered around 5+ miles of hiking daily and not being able to shower wasn’t the best.

It’s not a horrible place for tent camping but it’s really ideal for RVers and while I’m glad I got to experience it, I wouldn’t stay again.

Nicely wooded. Sites need some improvement on leveling. Road is very narrow. Still a good location for checking out the attractions.

We love this Campground. Definitely recommend getting some hikes in.

The location was pretty and staff was great and helpful. Our problem was that we were tent camping and the RV near us had a very loud generator that they ran in the evening about the time we wanted to sit around a fire, look at the stars and enjoy the silence. I think it would be better all-around if there were an area designated for tent camping only so as to avoid that kind of situation.
