Available Nov 13–15 · 2 nights2 sites open for every nightA forested campground near trout fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.
The wider Black Hills offer a layered outdoor program across seasons: Sheridan Lake supports rainbow and brown trout, northern pike and perch for anglers, with fly-fishing opportunities on Spring Creek below the dam and ice fishing in winter; trails nearby include the Dakota Point access to the Centennial Trail and the Calumet Trailhead for the Flume Trail, an 11-mile route (plus a 3-mile loop) that follows the historic Rockerville Flume and passes visible artifacts from the 19th-century waterworks. Summer and early autumn bring hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding and off-highway vehicle use across the forest, while winterers can pursue snowshoeing, skiing and snowmobiling on groomed routes and ungroomed backcountry.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.
Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (20,576 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
