About
Beach Area Campground sits on the western edge of the Black Hills at Keyhole State Park, positioned between the park marina and Pat's Point Campground. The small campground offers 6-7 undeveloped sites scattered among pine trees, each equipped with a fire ring and picnic table. While the sites lack level pads and hookups, a restroom and water hydrant are located nearby. The campground provides direct access to Keyhole Reservoir, a 14,720-acre impoundment popular for fishing (walleye, smallmouth bass, northern pike, channel catfish) and boating. The park's dump station operates seasonally, and a shower house is available during peak season. Tatanka Campground elsewhere in the park offers electric and water hookups for those needing them. Keyhole State Park is easily accessed from I-90 at exit 165, traveling 6 miles north to park headquarters. The park operates year-round, though the beach area access road closes during winter months.
Directions
From I-90, take exit 165 (Pine Haven/Keyhole). Travel north 6 miles. Park headquarters entrance will be on the left. Beach Area Campground is located south of the marina, between the marina and Pat's Point Campground.
