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.

Very Clean and great sites. Clean Toilets and nice space between sites. No bad vibes here and a beautiful sound healing at the Frog pond near the boat ramps. I stayed at 119 for 3 nights. Quiet and serene. Beautiful sunrise across the lake. And two Geese Families parading their new Goslings. Quite a nice visit.

Our site was spacious with plenty of distance from the neighboring site. It is part of a small subsection of the campground where there are only the two sites, both with an amazing view of the lake and a small trail down to the lakefront. Campground host was very friendly and checked us in after-hours when the ranger station was closed.

We loved it here. The vault toilets were very clean. We even saw the sanitation truck come in July 4. Great views and nice spots.

The campground is good but the campground host site was a mess and the host used a very, very loud motorcycle for work tasks in the campground, including after quiet hours.

We have been going to this lake every summer for 8 years and it never disappoints. The best fishing, camping, hiking and overall experience.

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.
