Reuter Campground, located on a hillside of Ponderosa pine and grassy understory, offering a peaceful setting for guests seeking recreation and relaxation in northeastern Wyoming's Black Hills National Forest. The campground is named after Emil Reuter, a German immigrant who made his way into the canyon in 1893 and spent the rest of his life prospecting in the area.
Black Hills National Forest offers a multitude of recreational opportunites throughout all seasons. Hiking, fishing, horseback riding, mountain biking, and riding off-highway vehicles are popular in summer and early autumn. Winter landscapes are ideal for snowshoeing, skiing and snowmobiling. From this campground, visitors can access the Sundance Trail System from Reuter Trailhead. The secluded trails of this system weave through a network of densely forested canyons and open ridges that form the Bearlodge Mountains. Some ridge tops look out to the Custer Expedition Route, Devils Tower, and the Twin Missouri Buttes. Elk, deer and turkey are some of the more common wildlife seen along the trail. Parts of the trail system have existed since the 1800s. As routes to reliable water and the only access to some parts of the Bearlodge Mountains, they played a key role in the rich mining history of the area. The trail system is maintained for hiking, horseback riding, bicycling and cross-country skiing. Motorized vehicle traffic is not allowed; however, some portions of trails follow existing Forest Service roads open for motorized use.
Stretching across northeastern Wyoming and western South Dakota, Black Hills National Forest encompasses nearly 1.25 million acres of rugged rock formations, canyons and gulches, open grassland parks, tumbling streams, deep blue lakes, and unique caves. Derived from the Lakota language, the words "Paha Sapa," meaning "hills that are black," honor the dark, pine-covered hills rising several thousand feet above the surrounding prairie. Bighorn sheep navigate mountainous terrain, while elk, deer and pronghorn gather in forests and prairies. Bald eagles, hawks, osprey, peregrine falcon, and hundreds of other bird species can be found in the forest, especially along streams, lakes and rivers. Mountain lions, although rarely seen, also call this area home.
Warren Peak Lookout Tower, approximately 4 miles north of the campground on Forest Service Road 838, provides a panoramic view of the landscape extending into South Dakota and Wyoming. Devils Tower National Monument is also a great location to visit. Established as the first United States National Monument on September 24, 1906, by President Theodore Roosevelt, this unique geological formation is valued for its natural, cultural, and recreational significance.

From Pactola Reservoir, hikers can access the 2.2-mile Osprey Trail which includes two loop trails and a spur trail to an overlook. The trail is named for the ospreys that are often seen in the area. Pactola Reservoir is an ideal spot for fishing and boating. The reservoir is stocked with rainbow, lake and brown trout as well as largemouth and rock bass, kokanee salmon and yellow perch. Record lake trout are caught here annually, and large brown trout find habitat in Rapid Creek above and below the reservoir.

Iron Creek Lake offers tent and RV camping with electrical hookups only. Potable water is available in the campground and can be transported to individual camp sites via bucket or temporary hose connection. A dump station is available upon departure.
Nightly Cost: The cost is $30 per night for a tent site for up to 4 people in the same immediate family. Campers/RVs cost $37.50 per site, which includes electricity. Nightly rates do not include sales tax.
Electricity: While all sites have electricity, it isn’t always close by. Campers are encouraged to bring extensions cords. We have 15, 30, and a few 50 amp sites available. Take note of the electrical hookup in the site description when making a reservation.
Terrain: The campground was built decades ago and was adapted to the terrain. The hilly nature of the campground adds to the area’s beauty but can make it challenging to level campers. Be prepared with extra materials and patience. The campground does not have concrete pads nor any pull-through sites, so drivers should be adept at backing up. Also, sites do not have well-defined boundaries, so please be courteous and accommodating to your neighbors and pay attention to parking instructions given at check in.

Rocky Point Recreation Area
Nice spacious sites
Being charged $6 or $7 as a reservation fee is a tad excessive when you’re paying $28 for electric only site. Drop-toilets available. Dump station and potable water
If you can boondock, plenty sites on opposite side of lake ( see Belle Fourche Dam & Reservoir, and it’s free)
Ground was so parched-grass do dry that it hurts pooch to w as ok on it
Overall, a nice peaceful place. Well maintained, friendly staff
Upon arrival as l, previous camper left his crap in the fire ring

Stayed at an RV site in early June, 2021. The site assigned to us was on the outer loop and directly opposite Devil's Tower. The tower was nicely framed by a pair of trees at our campsite. The entrance to national park is immediately next to this KOA.
The hosts were friendly and accommodating. No complaints with the water and electric service at our campsite. Our site (as were all the others as far as we could tell) was level.
The restrooms were clean, but like things seeing a lot of use these days needed a couple repairs but nothing major. The on-site showers were also clean and the water warm. The KOA staff watered an adjacent site through the night while we were there.
Note: site's were available on first-come basis at nearby Devil's Tower Belle Fourche campground but don't offer the amenities of the KOA.
TravelerKIA’s are the glamping of camping. That’s why we stay at them every once in awhile. The dog park wasn’t great and the WiFi speed wasn’t anything to brag about. The bathrooms were clean and they offered evening activities. This stay really sold us on the view. It’s beautiful!

I should have checked Recreation.gov to confirm this campground is open before heading there, it would have saved me some time. It closed as of September 11th 2020, and is reopening in May 2021. Looks like May- Sept. is what's planned for next year as well. Boo! Still, glad I did actually go because now I know where I might head next time I'm in the area. Noticed some other campsites in the Black Hills are closed as well, so I might have timed my camping trip to the area poorly. Live and learn. Anyway, about the campground…
Easy to get to, good LTE reception on Verizon throughout, BIG area with what looks like four different loops, some closer to the water than others. A tent-only area, which I appreciate- those tend to be quieter than the RV spots, and the tent area was close to the reservoir. Standard campsite amenities- tables, fire pits, bathrooms. Swimming seems like an option. Plenty of trees for us hammock dwellers. Could easily see myself spending a few days here when it is open, assuming it isn't too much of a zoo, which large sites like these can devolve into.
NOTE: this is a duplicate listing of another Dyrt listing for the same campground. That listing is under the name "Pactola Reservoir Campground" which is the accurate name according to the Forest Service. That listing has more reviews and info, but has incorrect GPS coordinates. I've submitted a fix, so hopefully they'll fix the GPS for the other listing and merge them, but until then, just a heads up. Here's the other listing: https://thedyrt.com/camping/south-dakota/south-dakota-pactola-reservoir-campground
LegendRocky Point Recreation Area is clean and quiet. Access to the reservoir was very easy. There is a small sandy beach is available for swimming. The facilities were clean and in good repair. It's a nice area for kayaking, canoeing, or fishing.
It was on the upper end of what I'd want to spend for a campsite with the reservation fee and the out-of-state fee for South Dakota.

NOTE - as of 9/28/2020 the GPS coordinates for this are wrong on Dyrt. I submitted a correction, so that might be changed soon, but just a heads up. Dyrt currently has another listing with fewer reviews simply called "Pactola Campground" that is also this campground and has accurate GPS coordinates. You can find that listing here: https://thedyrt.com/camping/south-dakota/pactola
To avoid potentially heading to the wrong spot, just fire up Google Maps and plug in "Pactola Reservoir Campground" and it'll take you right there.
EDIT / UPDATE - as of 10/7/2020 the GPS coordinates for this campground are now correct.

They advertise that they have Wi-Fi but it's almost like they shut it off at 10 o'clock at night when quiet time starts which is a great time for looking up directions or places to see, we could never connect for long and streaming- which means no Netflix its against the rules(which we never saw only overheard). They allow fires but make sure you get a metal ring because it's illegal to have a fire in south Dakota if you don't have one they have them but they don't leave them at the sites or let you know they are available. Also no petting zoo we specifically came here thinking they had one because they advertised and after we arrived they informed us it was turned into a dog park i have no pictures but there's not much to see here

I have stayed at this dispersed camping area once during the Sturgis rally. This is a free camping area located Off the main highway between Sturgis and Deadwood, South Dakota. After you pull off the highway onto camp 5 Road there are a few single campsites, but if you continue down the hill, across the dry creek bed, You will find a huge field for camping. The creek bed crossing is fairly easy, especially if you have a SUV or a pick up truck. I probably wouldn’t recommend it with a low clearance car. During our stay, there were Porta potty’s located in this area. I’m not sure if the Porta potty’s remain throughout the summer or if They were placed there just for the Sturgis rally guests. This field area is located a bit further from the main highway, so it’s also a bit quieter. I am aware that this area is also considered an ATV trail head parking area, but we did not see any ATVs during our stay. This camping area does not have any access to water, electricity, or sewer hook ups. The sites closer to the highway will have some traffic noise, but the field area is fairly quiet, And the price for this camping area is awesome - FREE. I did not see any fire rings, and the forest service probably prohibits campfires. This camping area also allows for quick access into Deadwood If you want to visit casinos, historical sites, gas stations, Restaurants and bars, or just grab some groceries.

Nice quiet campground! Clean shower house/bathroom. Cabin was great! Sheets/ pillows provided. Clean. Wish they had a camp store.
TravelerWe stayed one night at this location nice spot Train is a little loud but decent price lots of tree’s playground for kids
TravelerFabulous hosts and a clean well kept park. Showers, bathrooms, all the hook ups, easy to get into spots . A bit noisy w hiway but that settles down at night. Going back
GuideStopped off on our way between Belvidere, SD and Buffalo, WY. This was a nice low key spot. Three miles from the town that has groceries, diesel and good mexican food. We daytripped to Devil's Tower, less than an hour away. Owners are very nice and accommodating. Sites are gravel and grass with fire pits. Both full hookup and dry camping available. Laundry and firewood available also.
TravelerStayed at this campground for one night while traveling to WA. Owners live on site and are very friendly and accommodating. Bathrooms are very clean and so are the grounds. They offer bundles of firewood for sale on site which is great because all sites have a fire ring. The tent sites are right on the river and it makes for a peaceful sleep
The highway is very close but the road noise is pretty low considering the proximity.
GuideWyatts hideaway is a great place to camp. Wyatts is right by the red water river which is a great turning river. Wyatts campground has a lot of trees too so there is enough shade but you will get enough sun.
Traveler$750 monthly rate. Sewer hook up, water, and electric are the only amenities on site, unless you’re close enough to the WiFi. The water spigots stick up 2’ above the ground and you’re told if you don’t want it to freeze you’ll need to heat trace and insulate it at your own expense. I showed up mid October and the bathhouse is closed for the season. The campground is conveniently located between a highway and a railway, both are highly active.
TravelerI camp in my vehicle. I Rented a non-electrical tent spot for $30. It was beautiful and by the river.
The campground is near the highway so spots near the highway are noisy throughout the night. But the sound of the river helped cut that noise.
Because I camp in my vehicle, the most important part for me is having shower and bathrooms and the shower room and bathroom for the campground was awesome.
The hosts are very nice and helpful, very accommodating. I will definitely stay here again!
TravelerNice flat camping sites, pleasant owners, live on site and are very helpful. Tent site was near the river, and the sound of the river helped drowned out the nearby highway noise.
RangerI think this campground has seen better days. I had full Hookups which was nice. However, the wifi was spotty at best, even with few sites occupied. Weeds were abundant in the stone camping sites and the grass was cut in some places and not others making the campground look unkempt. Convenient to Spearfish and Devil's Tower.
LegendIf you want a campground that doesn’t party (being close to Sturgis) this is it. A few miles from the interstate. On a US Highway so some road noise noticeable with wi does open. Has park WiFi but bandwidth isn’t that great despite to reported price, we were charged $45/cash $50/card per night. Prolly on the rally ramp up schedule. Normally I take pictures, but forgot this time. Many mature shade trees. A huge pulse for us
RangerCampground seems large but sites are pretty densely packed. I tent in back of my pickup so like a little more space. Mostly designed for RVs and trailers, but there are tent sites with and without electricity. Didn't use the shower house because of drenching rain. There is a small vault toilet near tent sites which was pretty deplorable for so early in the season. For the price, id rather stay at Rocky point state rec area campground.
GuideStayed here for a night in Sept 2020. Came in at night. It wasn’t an easy place to get to. (Unless Waze decided to take us on a scenic drive through the town!) I thought it might be a good location for one night on our way to Devil’s tower, but it was too much extra driving getting to it. But, the campground itself was nice. We stayed next to the lake. The showers/bathrooms were clean.
TravelerRocky Point was a delightful stay! The campground was large, so it was easy to roll in and find a site without a reservation. Most sites are on the water, with sweeping views of the sunset. Our site (and many others) had a little path so you could put your feet in the lake and watch fish and birds enjoy the water. Sites were large and spacious, so even with neighbors, it felt pretty private. Showers were very nice!
TravelerIt’s a clean and organized camp ground. Great for water activities. Quiet. Only not enough shade trees on some of the sites.
GuideWater is usually calm in the morning and evening. It is a great fishing lake too. I have never had a bad experience from the times I’ve been there.
GuideReally like the layout of this CG, it’s spacious and scenic. There are toilets but we used our trailer, so I can’t report on them. The reservoir is pretty (was really low when we went) and close to all of the sites. There is a playground and a dog park.
GuideCamped at site 27E, which was close to showers/bathrooms and playground. Site was on water’s edge. Campground is large and was nearly full on a Friday night so it was somewhat loud. Lots of people fishing and boating, overall a great experience.
GuideWe booked a night as our plans had changed, what a gem! We were very impressed, the facilities are impeccable. Site was perfect, level, well kept and very spacious. We had a site right on to the lake. Would highly recommend, it checks all the boxes and that sunset!
