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.

Camp hosts were kind and informative. Campground rules were enforced and everything went smooth! I'm local and I always look forward to the next trip to this lake. As a campground insurance specialist and member of the South Dakota Campground Owners Association Board of Directors, I cannot turn those professional aspects of my life on and off, so I notice the risk management and such almost everywhere I go. Specifically campgrounds. This State ran location does a great job! I was very impressed!

Not sure what's going on with the National Forests/Parks lately, but they need to do something about sites being reserved and unoccupied.
