About this campground

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. Contact Info For facility specific information, please call (661) 702-1420. Nearby Attractions The nearby town of Deadwood, South Dakota, is a National Historic Landmark with casinos, Wild West saloons, restaurants and shopping. Mount Rushmore can be reached in under an hour. Charges & Cancellations No refunds will be given for weather or related events.

Data interpretation: campground-level amenity flags mean the amenity is reported somewhere in the campground—not at every site. “Not verified” is intentionally different from “No.”

Campsite-level check

Will my RV fit?

Compares your rig with each imported campsite's documented entry type, driveway length, surface, grade, overhead clearance and hookups. Sign in to use a saved vehicle, or enter dimensions below.

Compatibility uses recorded campsite fields only. It does not certify road access, turning room or overhead obstacles on the way in — check approach-road photos and the managing agency.
