With the deep sand here, it’s east to get stuck if you aren’t careful. Watched one person get stuck out first night here. With how low the water is, it’s kind of like camping at sand dunes
Walking or biking distance to the Zion ped entrance. Stunning views, super clean campground.
When I go camping, I always expect a fair amount of bugs. What I experienced here was unlike anything I’ve encountered before. Anytime you’d step foot outside, you would be covered in a swarm of mosquitoes. Bug spray and bands provided minimal help, but nowhere near what they normally would have.
Initially did Harvest Hosts to stay at Melvin and got a nice spot, but wound up venturing over to the dispersed area. There are tons of places to go—some a little sketchy if you have a larger rig.
I camp at Yellowstone quite a bit, but never had been here. It was nice to have full hookups for once, but they really cram RVs in there—particularly in the lower loop. The upper loop was just remodeled, but it is almost completely exposed and I would t want to stay there.
The creek running alongside the campground is really nice. It’s hard to beat having a brewery and restaurant on site. Walking distance to downtown and the Trail of the Coeur d’Alene’s
I rarely ever give bad ratings, but this was the worst camping experience I’ve ever had. Their check in process reminds me of the DMV—including rude staff. The park itself is massive and has lots to do. Each campground only has one main bathroom, so you’ll be wise to bring something to ride to get to the restrooms because some sites are 1/3 of a mile away.
A really odd hillbilly-esque campground. Some of the sites were awkwardly laid out which seemed to confuse quite a few people. Full hookups were nice and so was the proximity to town and the trail system. There’s also a bowling alley and restaurant on site. Limberlost Brewing is a must stop.
Tiny loop with 10 sites near the water. Some sites are a little cramped. Bathrooms were super clean. Nice thick’s trees all around.
Site 3 is right by a water source which is nice. Bathrooms are pretty close as well. The driveway is big enough for 4-5 cars and you could also fit multiple tents on site
The furthest loop (loop H) is one mile from the water. A little frustrating to end up there when you plan on being on the water. However, that loop is thick forest and very pretty. Some of the lower loops are completely exposed. I ended up moving down to loop A in the trees and it was great. Lots of elk and bison here. Beware of their poor AIS procedures
Saw a moose everyday we were here. No beach area nearby, only access to the water is the boat launch area by loop A. The water in the bay is a bit gross, but you can’t beat the views.
Overall it’s a nice campground and has some nice sites directly on the water. It seems like this is kind of a party place. Most people here were quiet and respectful of quiet hours, but there were a few sites shooting off fireworks and being very loud each night we were here.
Nice city campground along Spearfish Creek and super close to downtown and has easy access to Spearfish Canyon. We definitely took advantage of the creek and proximity to downtown during our stay.
The Rocky loop is the furthest from the entrance and closest to the public boat launch. Many of the sites in this loop are smaller than advertised and extremely uneven. The sites directly on the water are nice. This loop is also very close to the trailhead, which connects to multiple trails.
Great friendly staff and beautiful massive trees throughout the campground. It wasn’t quite as close to the lake as I thought, maybe a 2min walk. Canyon Lake looks beautiful, but is disgusting! There is a great park and trails nearby. Not too far from downtown and all the tasty breweries.
Loved our spot right on the water. We definitely took advantage of the east access to the lake and close proximity to Hill City. Had a tornado warning out first night here.
First off, Peter D is great. I was having an issue with my RV and he took notice and lended me a hand. The proximity to downtown Sheridan and their 3 breweries was nice. Extremely clean and very nice spot.
Pretty rate for a forest service campground to have electricity, so that was nice. Wish the sites were closer to the water, but it was a pretty quick walk. Bathrooms weren’t as well maintained as others.
The road was so bad that I don’t know if I’d come back again. Not great for RVs. Awesome campsite with great access to a creek.
