Cherry Valley campground offers a clean, well-maintained environment with friendly hosts, particularly JJ, who is praised for his helpfulness. The restrooms are consistently clean, and the scenic Cherry Lake provides a peaceful setting, though access involves a steep hike. While some campers noted the remote location and challenges finding activities, most enjoyed the spacious campsites and overall positive camping experience, with many expressing a desire to return.

Good campsites all around, we stayed in 5 and you get a pretty large area! The bathrooms are kept clean, and when we were at the campsite in the evenings, the camp host pretty much came hourly to check the trash in front of them. Cool little path at site 10 to get to Cherry Lake, and it seemed less crowded than the beach/ boat ramp part of Cherry Lake.

My adult sons and I had a wonderful 3 night stay and experience at Cherry Lake. We've been coming here annually for years. The camp is clean and well-maintained. The hosts that we've had the pleasure to deal with have been helpful and friendly. We'll definitely continue to return each year.

Nice family camping area and site 20 was a nice size. I noticed a few ant holes, and these are huge black ants! So, set up the tent strategically as to avoid the ant holes. The neighbors around were pretty loud and it was hard to sleep the first night.
The bathrooms seemed regularly stocked and maintained.

Camp site (39, a double), was large and clean...provided 2 picnic tables, 2 bear lockers, and a fire pit with a grill top. Proximity to Cherry lake was great. Shade was fine, plenty of hammock trees. All in all, great. About the area - it's not easy to find other things to do...we went exploring, and got very lucky trekking down to a river/swimming hole that was off the maps. Had that been a bust, it would have been a rough day. Plan out your activities, and have back ups. We originally planned to hike to Kibbie Lake...but then realized the 2.5 hours (each way) would have destroyed us after a day of kayaking. Plan B's...before you come.

Lake was beautiful. Clear water, peaceful. This site is quite a trek to get to and so was the lake. If you walk from the camp site it’s about 10 minutes down a rocky hill side. Our site, 005 was near the restroom which for some reason at about 9am would smell like a dead body had been rotting in there for several weeks in the hot sun. Early morning it was usable but after 9 am. Rancid. Wish we would have thought ahead and brought kayaks or paddle boards for the lake but overall a great trip.

The campground manager was awesome. The restrooms were immaculate and trash was emptied frequently. I do think the campground sites could use some mulch or something as not to be dirt/dust/powder ie sand box.

Great large campsite, the hike to the lake is easy and nice for fishing! Loved the hospitality of the camp host and how clean the bathrooms were! The stars were amazing at night. We Loved this campsite, it is out far fron nearest town so come prepared!
