Nice camp site. Well managed. People didn’t run generators all night. Sites were just spread out enough.

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.

Campsites are spread out with privacy.
Only stayed 1 night….. the Lake looked awesome…
ATT cell service did not exist….but that’s not necessarily a bad thing😊

Great camping with lake access. We had site 69 with our pop-up camper. It has to be one of the best sites in the campground. Nobody on either side of your for 100 yards, and a lakefront campground with direct access to the lake via a gentle slope. Overall, a great trip.

We brought a 5th wheel and kayaks for our stay. We could take the boats right down to the water from our spot. Fishing was good, too. The campground is very nice and we had a wonderful view of the lake, which was great at the end of the day around the campfire. Very quiet and private. The bathrooms were incredibly clean.

The view was beautiful, weather was perfect. Would recommend staying here just know there is no way to fill up rv with water. You have to go 5 mi back down road to another campground and pay $5, you will also need to come back to that campground to pay $10 to dump when you leave Sheridan Lake

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.
