I camp with family members every September at Sheridan Lake in the Black Hills, SD. The campground is tidy and well managed and I always enjoy my time there. It would be lovely if the parks service could see their way to install showers throughout the grounds.

As far as campsites that we have been to this was definitely our favorite! It was spacious between sites, clean, friendly, and situated on a beautiful parcel of land.

Come there twice a summer for a week at a time for several years. Large sites with excellent staff. Think this is one of the best campgrounds in the whole system.
