Nice site, albeit a bit small compared to others we’ve experienced. Ground was pretty hard, but a nice selection of rocks outside the site that made for alternative tie downs.

I've been camping here for many years. I would give it a 5 star rating except for one thing, the dust! The gravel road to the campground and lake has a lot of vehicle traffic. They stir up a lot of dust that goes into the campground. I wish you would invest in a system to water the road down two or three times a day, even if it cost an extra dollar or two to camp. A lot of the traffic is local traffic from Sheridan county. Otherwise, the facilities are nice. The lake is great for canoes, paddle boards and kayaks. Fishing is good and it is a good launching point for other trails and sight seeing.

Great camp hosts. Very clean and well kept sites and bathrooms. Lake is very busy. Campground is nice though. Roads are very dusty.

We have been spending a couple of long weekends a year at Sibley Lake for many years now. We love kayaking or walking around the lake, hiking to Black Mountain Lookout Trail (amazing views) or to Bucking Mule and Porcupine Falls. Shell Canyon is worth taking a picnic lunch and making it a day trip. We also like to rent four wheelers at the Elk View Inn to get off the beaten path to see some amazing scenery, but be sure to reserve online early especially on weekends. The campsites are well spaced for quiet and privacy.
