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 was a perfect place for us to unplug for a week. We got in on Sunday and it wasn't too busy. A few people left on Monday and it was quiet until Thursday when it filled up.
Aside from the forest fire smoke, everything was great. It's a good location to all 'touristy' things but back in the woods enough to feel like you can relax.

The location was great. Just wasn’t fond of the bathrooms, tons of flies and it stunk. But other than that it was great. Big open spaces so you're not on top of your neighbor.

Outstanding stay. We loved it here. Site 045 is the best here we think. This would have been a 5 star but they lose a full star for not having an on-site dump station.

It was a beautiful site, nicely spaced from the neighbors. Tons of gorgeous trees and and the lake and wildlife were stunning.
2 issues: 1. The campsites aren't super level and the spots for RVs were rather small and treacherous. 2. They used bleach in the pit toilets. Along with the ecological disaster, it was literally painful to use.

Beware that just because it says your rig will fit, it may be an awkward site that is either VERY unlevel or crazy difficult to get the rig into a position where you can reasonably level it without two feet of blocking!!!!

Campsite was quiet and secluded, lots of distance away from others. Clean and well maintained bathrooms. Nice beach, but a drive away. It was Sturgis week and we heard the traffic on the highway across the lake all daylight hours.

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.
