Belle Fourche Dam & Reservoir

We stayed here 8/26 – 9/8/20. This dispersed camping area includes vault toilets, dumpsters, fire pits, and picnic tables. During our 14 day stay we camped in two different spots. The first was on Middle Point and the Second spot was on Gadens Point. Both spots had great views of the water. There is a free dump station in ... more

It's hard to believe, but you can look right across the water at campers in the State Park, paying at least $26 per night (though they do have electric) for the same view. This location was easy to get to using the satellite view on google maps. We had no problem, though once you hit the gravel, it gets really dusty. Just beyond the... more

This place is great, cant believe its free. The sites are very far apart, several different loops. We stayed in the first loop, not many trees but great for solar. Big rig friendly! Each site has a nice picnic table, and a fire pit. There are pit toilets and they were spotless. We arrived here on a Monday in late September and only two... more

Great find! GPS took us to the wrong place so I wanted to give more detailed instructions. Follow signs for Rocky Point Recreation Area (this is the pay campground). From Hwy 212 take left onto Fisherman's Road. (Google Maps said Belle Fourche Dam and Reservoir is 0.6 miles on the left. It is a large dirt "parking lot" that says ... more

Specific sites are along the water but we parked out in the open grasslands at a spot before reaching the formal entry to the lake area. Great spot, water views, birds, even a couple of deer. There is a pay area with reservations if you want that, but plenty of free camp areas too. Dump and water available just past the pay area ent... more

We stayed a week and had 6 days of crazy wind mixed with extreme calm. I loved it but plan for 50-60mph wind at times. The area is huge with several locations to choose from around the reservoir that accommodate all size rigs. You can take multiple loops to find an open spot and some are very remote. You can camp in any designated ... more

LAKE SIDE FOR FREE! This is water sport heaven or just lake side relaxing. There are ample sites for all sizes of rigs around this reservoir. Each site is clearly designated by a fire ring, so there is no tramping willy nilly onto the grass lands. The sites are spaced far apart for spreading out or just plane solitude. You can choose f... more

Drive straight past the lot that the GPS coordinates take you to. Follow Fisherman’s Road all the way to the gate house for Rocky Point and turn left on Suzy Peak Road. Follow Suzy Peak for a mile or two and you will start to see spots along the water. We camped all the way out past the last bathroom in a spot under the trees with a r... more

I turned north (left) on Susie Peak Rd immediately before the ranger station then drove 1.8 mi/2.9 km on the well-groomed gravel road before turning right onto the first loop. There are many sites that are easily visible in an aerial view. The one night stay was quiet, and I parked on the grass near the water. It rained for hou... more
