We LOVED staying at Sibley Lake. Got to see a family of moose walk through campsites 22, 23, and 24 and it was the highlight of our whole road trip. Also walked around the lake which was gorgeous. The host was super helpful. Our clothes weren't warm enough at night. We wished we stayed longer but it was more of a pass-through on our way out west.

Sibley Lake is always impressive. The campgrounds and facilities are well maintained. The trails around the lake are well marked and have interesting scenery throughout. People fish and canoe and paddle board and wade without crowding. The roads into the campgrounds and recreation areas are made for traffic. Parking cars can be tricky if you are not camping but is available. We had a young adult moose casually walk through our campground on the electrical side one light showering afternoon. Birds are fun to watch also. The location of this recreation area is close to 3 inns with rentals, other trails on top of the mountain area, and a dumping/water station for motorized campers. You can find historic pieces like the old logging tresses or the Medicine Wheel in this area on decent roads. This area has winter trails in the recreation area and a nordic track up the hill from it.

Beautiful spot strategically between Yellowstone and the Black Hills for our trip. A few of our neighbours were doing the same thing. We had a Bull and Cow Moose waltz down the road of our campground. How cool is that!?!
