Hidden Lake Campground and Resort

6 ReviewsAdd Review

Campers with lake access in mind will find Hidden Lake Campground and Resort positioned along the shore of a small private lake in Hot Springs. The facility accommodates RVs up to 50 feet with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer connections. Sites cluster closely together, with pull-through options available alongside back-in sites that provide slightly more spacing.

The campground's namesake lake offers swimming and catch-and-release fishing for those who purchase an on-site license. Clear water allows visibility to depths of 12 feet, making fish-watching possible from the shore. Wild turkeys roam the grounds regularly, and mule deer appear periodically. An off-leash dog area sits across from the lake, with additional walking areas available throughout the property.

Full hookup sites include two sewer connections per site for convenience, with utility connections positioned toward the rear of each space. MickandKarla W. notes "there are two sewer connections, one in the middle and the other at the back that's handy." Shower facilities feature adjustable heads and full-coverage curtains. Cell service reaches 2 bars for both Verizon and T-Mobile users, though over-the-air television reception remains limited.

The campground works well for families wanting immediate water access and RV travelers seeking full amenities in a compact setting. Hot Springs provides nearby services and attractions for camping spots near Hot Springs.

Campers regularly cited friendly hosts, well-kept sites, and excellent lake access for families. Some feedback indicated bathrooms need updates and sites are closely spaced, but most found the experience enjoyable.

Beautiful, Currently Low on Services

Would've given 5 stars because the campground on the shore of Hidden Lake is really lovely. One star down temporarily as the office/store are presently closed for renovations, so nothing to buy. One of the bathroom stalls in the women's restroom is missing a closure. All hookups at sites are good. It's nice to have a dump hole that's downhill!

Thank you for staying with us and for sharing your experience. We will definitely look into the ladies bathroom stall. We are glad you enjoyed the campground and hope you get a chance to stay in the future!

Small but cute, well maintained.

This was a lot of fun for the kids to have lake access, the bathrooms could use an update but the sites themselves were very well kept. Our only complaint was the amount of bees, but this seemed to be a geographical problem, we set out moth balls and soda traps to keep them off of the kids.

Thanks for staying with us! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay here! This has been a horrible year for bees and flies, assuming it is do to the increased amount of moisture we have received last winter into the summer. Safe travels and we hope you have a chance to stay with us again!

We Enjoyed Our Stay

We were told through an email from the campground(CG) that there was road construction in town with length restrictions. Between the CG instructions and looking at Google Maps, we found an easy route around the construction and arrived with no issues. Check-in was quick and easy. There’s a$3.50 CG fee along with tax. This is a small CG so finding pull-through site 5 with FHUs was not an issue. There was however a tree on our door side that was a potential problem for our slide-out, but the camp host came by and made a suggestion to place our 39’ 5th wheel at the back of the site so slides etc. did not get involved with the tree. The site was plenty long enough for our RV and F450. The water and electric are towards the back and there are two sewer connections, one in the middle and the other at the back that’s handy. Currently, there is no WiFi or cable television. There are essentially no OTA channels but we had a clear shot of the southern sky for satellite. We got 2 bars each on Verizon and T-Mobile. The sites here are very close together. The back-ins do provide a little more site spacing but in the big scheme of things not enough to make a difference. There is no formal dog park but plenty of areas to walk your dog to include an off-leash area on the other side of the small lake. You can also fish(catch& release) in the lake if you purchase a CG license. There’s a flock of wild turkeys that wander around the campground plus mule deer here and there.

Couldn’t be nicer!

If you’re trying to decide where to camp, pick this spot. It’s close to town (we biked to explore the beautiful town, parks, mammoth exhibit, and farmers market) campground is gorgeous, with a sweet little private lake that’s great for a swim. Eat at Red Shed Smokehouse in town 😉.

Clean, updated, family owned

Just needed a place to stop for a night, found the family to be very nice. Good places to sit and enjoy the sunrise over the ridge, nice walk around the pond with water so clear you can see the bottom 12 ft down and watch the fish like you're at Bass Pro. Showers are clean and updated with adjustable heads, curtains cover the entire opening of the door, (which seems like a no brainer then you visit the Badlands state campground) No issues at all, would stay here again!
