North Cove Group Campground

What makes North Cove Group Campground truly stand out is its serene lakefront location, majestic views of Sheridan Lake, and its design tailored for group experiences in the heart of the Black Hills National Forest. These defining characteristics offer an idyllic retreat for nature lovers seeking tranquility, outdoor recreation, and camaraderie in a stunning forested environment.

Situated just 22 miles southwest of Rapid City, this campground sits along the northern shore of Sheridan Lake, surrounded by towering ponderosa pines that reflect the natural beauty of the Black Hills. The campground features five spacious group sites that can accommodate tents, trailers, and RVs.

Guests can enjoy direct access to the lake for fishing, boating, and swimming, with on-site amenities including a marina, a large swimming beach, picnic areas, and fishing piers.

Within a 30-minute drive, visitors can explore iconic attractions such as Mount Rushmore National Memorial, Custer State Park, Jewel Cave National Monument, and the historic Flume Trail. Whether it's a family weekend getaway, a gathering of friends, or a nature-focused group retreat, North Cove Group Campground offers the perfect blend of comfort, natural beauty, and proximity to world-class outdoor adventure.
