Overview

Roubaix Campground is tucked into a grove of Ponderosa pines along its namesake lake. With a popular swim beach and opportunities for non motorized boating and paddling, campsites are dispersed among four loops, and many offer lake views. At an elevation of 5,500 feet, this camp remains comfortable on hot summer days, and sites are spaced far enough apart to offer ample privacy. This popular camp makes a great base for exploring all the activities and attractions at the lake and in the surrounding area.

Recreation

Robaix Lake is ideal for swimming, canoeing, kayaking and fishing for brook and rainbow trout. Horseback riders, mountain bikers and off-road vehicle riders have access to a 1-mile multi-use trail that leads to a network of other trails.

Facilities

Roubaix Lake camp offers a variety of sites. Each one contains a gravel spur, picnic table and fire ring.

Drinking water and accessible vault toilets are provided.

Natural Features

The Black Hills in western South Dakota and northeastern Wyoming feature a varied landscape of rugged rock formations, canyons and gulches, open grassland parks, tumbling streams and deep blue lakes. This secluded lake is small with a shoreline that borders pine forest.

Conveniently located between Deadwood and Hill City, with a paved entrance road, this National Forest campground provides a quiet retreat from the busy activities of the Black Hills. Custer Peak is just a short drive away and there are plenty of opportunities for hiking and mountain biking on forest roads that are also great for ATV's. There is also a great beach at this campground that was popular on a warm fall day. Beware that Roubaix Lake Road is closed just west of the campground so do not follow Google Maps directions if coming from the west side of the Black Hills.

This was just a stop among the way for me, unfortunately I didn't get to experience the lake as I got in late and left early. The stars looked amazing but so much tree canopy I couldn't get that much
