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.

We picked a spot in the "Rocky" loop, with beautiful views of the lake. The sites aren't very private, but they're very spacious. Very quiet at night.

This is a very nice campground above a beautiful Black Hills Lake with the Sluice
Trail just a short drive away. We’ve stayed here a few times and always enjoyed it.

This campsite was fairly sunny in the middle of the day and afternoon. It’s also a bit on a slope so there wasn’t a great place for the tent. The site is in between 2 roads so the vehicle noise was doubled. The campground it’s self was clean and quiet, we will definitely be back.

This is a beautiful campground in the heart of the Black Hills. Every spot has plenty of tree cover, spaced perfectly for hammocks, and lots of ground to spread out around the fire pit and picnic table. The pit toilets were well kept and the firewood was very affordable. We didn't get to spend any time at the lake this trip but it looked wonderful.

We loved our campsite right by the lake. It was peaceful and calming on the inlet. Wonderful wildlife and a quick jaunt to the beach area for swimming. My kids did attempt to swim from the trail between our site and the lake, but my husband wanted more groomed area for swimming.

Campground was amazing on the lake was beautiful, but the bathrooms had major issues, flies everywhere. Also, toilets would not seal and prevent the fly issues. If you can handle this then this campground will be awesome. Most campsites have a nice view of the lake even the ones that aren't on the edge. There is a gas station open till 10 pm that is a mile away if the bathrooms are too much (the bathroom there are clean).

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.
