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

We stayed 8/15-24 and opted to camp with electric available because of the heat. Easy in and out with most sites level. We wanted to use the showers but they were just to dirty for our taste. Our site, #54 should have had the fire pit cleaned out before our arrival. There was trash in it and honestly I don’t know what the camp hosts do there because we never saw them clean anything although they were down just 5 sites from us.
We would stay there again.

We stayed Monday thru Thursday. We had electric with water nearby. Dump station as you drove in the park. All roads paved for RV sites. Only 2 other rigs in our area during the week so it made it very quiet and almost private. More rigs coming in Thursday. Place fills up on weekends. Nice beach area. Trees around for shade. Some sites better than others for shade. Nice picnic table and fire pits. Grounds and bathrooms are kept clean. Great place for water activities. Very pretty reservoir. Cell service was minimal to none. Had to purchase the daily permit for $8 a day so just bought the annual permit for $36

We stayed in site 41E mid-September 2021 and I think we had the best site in the recreation area! Very private, and close to a covered picnic are and dog park. The views were amazing and the sunsets were spectacular. This park has power only sites, but we filled water on the way in at their well-kept dump/water area. It was not very crowded in September and the reservoir was definitely lower than usual. You are not close to anything if you want to go exploring, but it was a peaceful quiet place to unwind for a few days.

Nice but Windy... very clean with large electric only sites. Showers are great with abundent hot water. Full on weekends but wide open during week. Fishermen (walleye), hunters (bow season for elk) and families come in for the weekend. Lots of wildlife including antelope. Belle Fourche is very convenient and quaint. Check out the geographic center of the US.
Only thing keeping it from a 5 is the wind. 2 out of 5 nights we had to bring in the slides. Gusts to 45 mph. Be sure and check the Windy app...

Very Nice campground with 50amp electric, potable water available and a dump station. Sites are large and well maintained and pretty level side to side maybe a little off front to back but not bad. Nice clean shower and restroom facilities. Boat launch and water front sites. Definitely a nice CG. Stayed in a Motorhome.

We stayed here 8/25/20. The campground was very well maintained. The site we were in was large and not far from the water. The site had electrical service only. There was potable water and a dump station available. Other amenities at the park included a beach, boat ramp, dog park, flush toilets, showers (only open in season check website for dates), game checkout, picnic shelter, playground, and vault toilets. The park is also set up for the following recreational activities: archery range, boating, camping, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, horseshoes, swimming, and volleyball. It’s worth saying twice that the grounds were extremely clean and it was clear that the staff takes great pride in the condition of the park. We enjoyed a spacious site and the fact that the sites in this section had electrical service meant that there was no generator noise. It made for a very serene stay.

Really nice campground. Almost all the sites are right up on the beach/water. Everything’s very level and the grass is gorgeous. Biggest dog park I’ve ever seen, with nice little grassy trails. The sites aren’t super far apart so when everybody rolled in at the weekend it felt considerably less posh, but mid-week it was great. The showers run hot to hottish-warm — four stalls that feel a little claustrophobic/dated but get the job done.
Dispersed camping on the other side of the reservoir is great/ample/free!
