Take the 1806 up the west side it is about an hr+ drive up the west side of the lake..part of it is gravel road. there is a boat ramp and primative campsites...lots of people do camp there...

The place sdive is discribing is called Minneconjou. About 50 miles on Hwy 1806 (gravel). Definately primitive site, but it will work for you.

I always camp at Little Bend. It's a rough it area, but they do mow the grass every once in a while:) It's straight across from the Cheyenne. Has a good ramp and usually plenty of piece and quiet....
As far as hot fishing, check the bays northwest of Little Bend(Tall prarie chicken etc.) and the points where the Cheyenne meets the Mo. There's a gravel slide on the north side of Little Bend that has been good to me in the spring...

I would stay at Pike Haven,which is the closest resort to the Cheyenne. Great food plus lodging and they also have camping. Plus a bait shop. I have stayed there before and booked for there again this Memorial Day weekend. For a charge they also put your boat in and out for you each day.

The 1806 road is paved about 2/3 of the way the 1804 will take you to Little bend which is on the east side It is quite a boat ride from Little bend across the lake and up into the cheyenne to the minneconjou boat ramp, not knowing what you have for a boat I would still camp at minneconjou because if the wind blows which it always will some time up there at least you can still get out and fish with out much trouble and pretty much stay out of the wind.
