It was a very nice place. We enjoyed our view and it was very quiet there.

I love Sheridan Lake and was looking forward to taking my grandkids for their first camping/fishing experience! Sadly, the weather was not cooperative and we decided not to make their first trip miserable and cooped up in a tent... But we did spend several days fishing and had a blast!

So beautiful! Quiet and hosts were nice and welcoming. Definetly will be back. Needed a dump station or help finding one in the area. Firewood from host welcome booth was very wet.

Excellent location! Very pretty campsite, near the lake. There is no cell service (which we loved, so checking out was relaxing). Bathrooms are potable toilets only. They have water faucets that are drinkable, but no sinks or showers. It was perfect for our time in the Black Hills!

Sites are spread out nicely so you are not right on top of your fellow campers. They sites are very big and cleaned up nicely. Bathrooms are vault tolets but were maintened well. Lake was beautiful and the kids had a lot of fun at the swim beach.

Fishing was fantastic and had no complaints about the campground. I was a last minute reservation so can't say I got the best spot but it was nice and spaced away from others. Towns aren't far away at all if you need anything and attractions are nearby also.

View was great.
Wether was great.
Had lots of fun visiting other places around the area.
Fishing was good enough that we could have had our limits every day.
Restroom were vault toilets but they were extremely clean.
Please be advised that there is no electricity, water can be close enough to run hoses but there is no dump site. Had to run into town with a honey wagon to dump.
