Fishing piers are located throughout the lake. Each site includes vault toilets, picnic tables, and campfire rings. Paved driveways accommodate most RV sizes. No electrical hookups are available. Groups range from 25 to 100 people per site. Sites book up to 180 days in advance. Peak season rates apply mid-May through late September. Situated 15 miles west of Rapid City on Sheridan Lake Road.
