Sheridan Lake campground offers a beautiful and well-maintained environment with spacious, clean sites, making it a popular choice for campers. Many guests enjoyed the proximity to local attractions and the peaceful setting, with clean bathrooms and friendly camp hosts receiving positive mentions. However, some visitors faced issues such as mice infestations, additional fees for beach access, and concerns about customer service, which have led to mixed reviews regarding their overall experience.

Good experience. Clean site, friendly staff. Restrooms were clean and a short walk from our site. Overall, I would stay here again.

I appreciate the cleanliness of the outhouse toilets. The campsites are a nice space from each other. Not too close.

Some sites are a challe ge to get into due to big boulder rocks around the edges of the pad. Often times you don't see them while trying to maneuver your camper into the site. They'll catch your lower trim or frame of the truck if not careful. Also for taller 5th wheels, the old dead pine tree limbs will catch on the upper areas of the camper. Not all sites are this way, but several are throughout.

We loved Sheridan Lake. We were in the Wood Loop and our group had 4 sites. Beautiful lake views. The campground is clean and well kept. Very quiet too. I would recommend staying here to enjoy all the Black Hills has to offer.

We loved everything about this campground. Lake Sheridan provides many options for activities. We fished from the shore and caught bass which was great in our fish tacos. The campsites were spaced a good distance apart with grass and mature trees.

We loved Sheridan Lake and would stay here again. We enjoyed site 61 as we could see the larger lake on one side and the smaller lake on the other. The only downside was the noise from the road work at the park entrance. Not much the campground could do. We were as far away as we could be. I did feel sorry for those who were camping closer to the highway.

Very comfortable and spreadout campsites. The team checking in campers as they arrived were very friendly and helpful.

From Rapid City, take Highway 16 for 18 mi west to Three Forks. Turn right (north) on Highway 385 and travel 2 mi to Calument Road at the inlet. Turn right and travel 1 mi to the campground.
Sheridan Lake is accessible via Highway 16, which connects to Rapid City, and Highway 385, which provides access from Highway 16 to the campground.
