Overall this is one of our favorite camping locations. the staff, including the Hosts are always very helpful. The campsites are always clean as well as the vault toilets. The only downside is the steep limited lake access for most all campsites.

Great location. Close to many Black Hills tourist attractions.
Great kayaking even with the boats.
Paddle boarding good early before the boats start.

Cindy, Kim (booth) and Hope (Host, Wood Loop) were all awesome, reminding me once again that of all the places I camp in the Black Hills, Sheridan Lake remains my favorite.
