Good experience. Clean site, friendly staff. Restrooms were clean and a short walk from our site. Overall, I would stay here again.

I appreciate the cleanliness of the outhouse toilets. The campsites are a nice space from each other. Not too close.

We loved Sheridan Lake. We were in the Wood Loop and our group had 4 sites. Beautiful lake views. The campground is clean and well kept. Very quiet too. I would recommend staying here to enjoy all the Black Hills has to offer.

Some sites are a challe ge to get into due to big boulder rocks around the edges of the pad. Often times you don't see them while trying to maneuver your camper into the site. They'll catch your lower trim or frame of the truck if not careful. Also for taller 5th wheels, the old dead pine tree limbs will catch on the upper areas of the camper. Not all sites are this way, but several are throughout.

We loved everything about this campground. Lake Sheridan provides many options for activities. We fished from the shore and caught bass which was great in our fish tacos. The campsites were spaced a good distance apart with grass and mature trees.

Very comfortable and spreadout campsites. The team checking in campers as they arrived were very friendly and helpful.

We loved Sheridan Lake and would stay here again. We enjoyed site 61 as we could see the larger lake on one side and the smaller lake on the other. The only downside was the noise from the road work at the park entrance. Not much the campground could do. We were as far away as we could be. I did feel sorry for those who were camping closer to the highway.
