Overview

Roubaix Campground is tucked under a growth of Ponderosa pines along its namesake lake, offering one of the only swim beaches in the Black Hills National Forest. The sites 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.
