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.

Campground was quiet and clean. No lake access from the campground though.
Central location for touring The Black Hills.

Me and my family loved the campsite the people were always so respectful and caring they were always smiling as I relaxed after working so hard I only had one complaint that I had to pay to go swimming even though I was camping there

Nice sites and the restriction for boats accessing the cove was beneficial and appreciated by the paddleboarders and light watercraft people in our camps.

We had a beautiful campsite right next to the lake. Sounds fantastic! But the motorboats and personal watercraft in mid-July made it almost uninhabitable in the late evenings (when you just want to sit in your lawn chairs and have a peaceful evening). But early morning it was fantastic. Think twice before selecting a site by the water's edge. Other than that, the campground is great. Well maintained.

Beautiful campground! The spaces are very far apart and the shade is amazing! The ladies at the checkin/out point were so helpful and nice. I will definitely come here again.

Great campground! Love the easy access to the water for fishing and paddle boarding. Easy walk to the Centennial Trail for some day hiking.

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.
