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.

This campground is huge and has such a beautiful setting. That said, we scored the last available site for the night. So many loud campers well after dark but thankfully a storm blew in and sent them scurrying to their tents, etc. I am an avid camper and hiker. I have seen some pretty bad vault toilets but these were hands down the worst ever (chipper loop). Infested with flies and the smell was unbearable. As soon as we woke up the following morning we left, so we could find a place to use the restroom. Sad but true.

Great campground. Spots had lots of space. Lake had great fishing, kayaking, and swimming.

The campsites are very roomy and fairly level. We had one with a great view of the lake. Only drawback of that was very loud music from boats on the lake late into the evenings. Would like to see a cut off time on that. The campground could also stand an upgrade on most of their bathrooms.

Great location! Sites were spread out and this was fairly close to the bathrooms. The kids loved hiking nearby and the swim beach.

Two comments— first, there was a huge plastic garbage bin staged about 20 ft from our campsite’s picnic table. Flies were disgusting and everywhere. Not sure why management would think that these bins need to be within the bounds of the campsite. Gross. Recommend moving all trash containers to the ends of the loops or beside the bathrooms.
Second— are there any improvements that can be made to South Beach? It literally looks the same as it did when I used to camp with my parents in the ‘80s. Expand the beach? More benches? A hand washing station at the bathroom? Showers?
Most importantly—-can someone dredge all that nasty algae and moss by the shore and drag it away a couple times during the summer? Such a beautiful beach with so much potential; however, no improvements???

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.
