This was our 3rd time camping there. We have tried a different site each time. This one was way smaller than the other two we have had and it was not flat at all. Very rocky. Plants through the middle of it. We were pretty disappointed. The camp hosts and location were great as always though!

The site was nice, but the wind constantly blew dust across the road and into our site which was annoying. If it wasn’t windy the site was pretty good. The neighbors next door were kind of close, but that turned out to be fine. The hosts of the campground were great and the bathrooms were clean. We love this campground and have returned for many years.

Camp site was busy but quiet. No bears, plentiful water, clean restrooms. No mobile service. Short drive to a few trailheads. Camp host was friendly.

We loved our camping trip at Sherwin. The hosts were phenomenal and very helpful. The bathrooms were very clean. The campsite was big and the creek was so nice and relaxing, especially to fall asleep to. It feels like you're in the middle of nowhere, but it's only about a 7 minute drive to Vons and town.

Lovely site +lovely host = happy campers. Site 76 is spacious, surrounded by wild roses and of course the creek which drowns out all the generators! The hosts were friendly and provided great advice for day hikes. Only downside was the dust- otherwise a fantastic option.

This campground is great. With the creek running around the site and wildlife all around. It’s a beautiful place full of nature ready to make all the memories. It’s close to town also which is great.

Host was very friendly. Creek is not really visible from any campsites due to brush and requires a little walk. There were mice running around the campsite at night and we caught several mice each night that had snuck up into our RV presumably from underneath. Lots of hills at the campground and gravel so not good for kids bikes, but E-bikes can survive it . Lots of people with off roading vehicles.
