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.

Wed. 9-11-19 we left Wind Cave National Park and arrived at Sibley Lake around 6 PM. As we were popping up our camper we were surprised when it began snowing. It snowed less than an inch and had mostly melted by the time we left Sibley Lake around 10:30 AM 9-12-19. We enjoyed our stay and wish we had planned to stay another night. It is a nice well-kept campground and the lake is beautiful. Our US Cellular phones didn't work there.
