What Guests Are Saying
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.

A nice site run by a lovely couple named Robert and Lisa who gave us a sense of security and wonderful service in everything we needed. Their dedicated work brings the site to a really good level of maintenance especially during the complex period of the COVID-19 (cleanliness of the toilets, observance of all safety rules, availability at all times for all the needs of visitors and more). The location of the site near the lake gives its addition, when a 3 minute walk opens a private beach for site visitors on the lake couch, a waterfall that descends right to the lake produces a magical corner where we spent most of the time when not hiking, by the way recommend taking the trail to Lake KIBBIE) . Firewood can be purchased on site from Robert and Lisa.
We were at site number 002, right at the entrance to the site. This site has a flat area that allows you to place a tent of 8 people in a very convenient way, there is room to set up some tents, really convenient access to water and toilets. At the same time, due to the high density of trees, a site is constantly in the shade so on hot summer days this site is strategic :-). Recommend bringing a mat, because the soil in the place is a bit powdery and dirty, for those who care. In addition to being equipped with a mosquito repellent, since a site is near a water place, there are quite a few of them in the area. Anyone who wants to know if there is mobile reception, then there is no, except to comment above the site that somehow the service of VERIZON can be facilitated there but really really weak.
In conclusion, really enjoyed.

It was very noisy, lots of people staying up late, past midnight, with loud music and loud talking/ yelling/ laughing. I will not stay there again.

Great campground and campsite. Campsite 9 was huge, but there was a lot of sun between Noon and 2PM, so bring a shade! Bathrooms were fairly close and kept clean. The hike from the campground to the lake is about 10-15 min and steep in some areas, but the trail that leads to the lake is right next to the site. Drive to the lake is 5 min, and parking was not too difficult. We enjoyed our time here and will be coming back.

Nice campground but nothing to do around there. Access to the lake via short drive with no picnic area on it. Only boat ramp. The hiking trails are marked but not maintained and it was hard to follow.
