this year was esceptionally wonderful, great weather helped and the pesky bugs were no where to be found. restroom was very well kept up and cleaned daily. camp sites were spaced far enogh apart nieghbors we not a problem, even 3 sites next to us with the boy scouts camping. Great place to fish as trout were plentiful and blue gills were great over the camp fire. watchout for the northern pike as we lost some tackle from time to time. even shore fishing was great. looking forward to next years visit.

Beautiful campground and location! We stayed there for a week while exploring the Black Hills. We were very impressed with the quality of camping. Our favorite part was being in the woods and the beach. We enjoyed clean bathrooms and everything was well kept. Very friendly people there to check us in. We will absolutely be staying there again.

Cindy the hostess at Sheridan is the very best. She knows her stuff and has always went out of her way to accommodate.
@RebeccaC264620 · Camped on Aug 4, 2025 at Campsite #34

Great Lake for fishing. Rented a boat for the day and fished. Nice size panfish and a couple of trout.
@NicholasC11628 · Camped on Aug 1, 2025 at Campsite #88
Beautiful campground by the water. Well kept spots in a gorgeous location. Be careful coming in. Check the address and know where you are going, we lost cell service and ended up in the Group Sites.
@JonathanE40733 · Camped on Jul 27, 2025 at Campsite #119
Great view of lake from campsite in this loop. Sites are well-spaced apart. Quiet when I was there.
@CoreySEB6D611F · Camped on Jul 21, 2025 at Campsite #73
Nice views. Close enough to Jewel Cave. Not the greatest toilets.
@RobertM1452522 · Camped on Jul 21, 2025 at Campsite #86
Very clean campsite and restrooms. Staff were very friendly and even stopped by at the end of the day to see if we needed anything. Could have been a better stay. Excellent
@DavidM1864120 · Camped on Jul 21, 2025 at Campsite #51
We have camped in the Woodsy Loop many times. It's our favorite. This year they have replaced the old wooden shack outhouses with more modern ones, which are clean and well maintained. I believe one was even added. The campsites were clean. The hosts and other employees were very friendly and helpful. We love it there.
@jasonl2729902 · Camped on Jul 18, 2025 at Campsite #94
No cell service plus limited parking at Southside boat ramp but other then that it was really a nice lake,clean campgrounds nice camp attendance, clean vaults,over all id give it 4 stars .
@TomH4673678 · Camped on Jul 17, 2025 at Campsite #21
The campground was great, with campers being respectful of others. Since the group I was part of was primarily in tents, we appreciated the lack of generator noise at night. The campground hosts were great! Very helpful and friendly. The only negative I can think of is that the two outhouses closest to our sites had issues. One of them, a two-holer, had one of the doors locked, which I assume, was due to a problem. Another outhouse had a door that could not be closed due to a door-frame alignment issue. This required two of us to attend whenever an individual had to use the bathroom.

Well maintained campground. Friendly management. Awesome location-convenient to town.

We just spent 5 days at Sheridan Lake with our 3 children each of them with their children, a total of 4 RV's. We enjoyed the stay the campground is spacious, beautiful and close to all activities. We would camp there again. That said I do have a complaint. We reserved to stay 6 days, however 2 of our party had to leave a day early (law enforcement individuals) so we all decided to leave. 3 days before our departure date I tried for 2 days to cancel our last day. The campground office said they could not help us with that and stated it was a "REAL PAIN IN THE A--". We were given a number to call. I tried 3 times to call with up to a 1.5 hour wait time. We had to drive to a location for reliable cell service. It is very unpleasant to sit in a car and wait for assistance. I never was able to get through and I ended up paying for 4 unused campsites . VERY DISAPPOINTED.I've cancelled state campgrounds before "ONLINE" and always received a refund minus a small cancellation fee. Unprofessional at best!
@JohnL4419148 · Camped on Jul 13, 2025 at Campsite #47
beautiful location right on the banks of the lake. Quiet and clean, would definitely stay here again.
@GailO1A105B27C · Camped on Jul 12, 2025 at Campsite #25
Loved our campsite. No showers. Only outhouses. We had a non-electrical site in a section designated as such. People used generators which were very noisy. The generators did not run constantly, but noisy when they were in use.
@KathleenM78273 · Camped on Jul 11, 2025 at Campsite #86
The out houses were full. The camping spot everyone park their boat there and walked through our camp site. We couldn't fish or put our kayaks in.
@BruceB5637806 · Camped on Jul 9, 2025 at Campsite #20
Our site was #20. Nice and shady but be careful where you set your tent. We had a several inches of rain. It pools all around the fire pit. Just look for the high spot. The water receded remarkably fast. I would have given a 5 but the bathroom door doesn't close which is hugely inconvenient.
@MikeD2668364 · Camped on Jul 8, 2025 at Campsite #32
Lovely space, great host, wonderful site! Construction on 385 throughout the night made getting a good night's rest difficult.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
