Horsethief Lake Campground is a scenic Black Hills National Forest campground located just 2 miles from Mount Rushmore with direct access to Horsethief Lake for fishing and swimming.

The 36-site campground offers both RV and tent camping with vault toilets, picnic tables, fire rings, and potable water; sites feature level concrete pads nestled in ponderosa and lodgepole pine forest.

A trail circles the lake providing easy water access, and the campground is open late spring through early fall at $30/night with reservations available.
