Okay, the reviews about the camp hosts are invalid. As of June 23rd, the camp hosts were wonderful. The grounds have lots of shade on every site. There are two creeks that run along the property N/S and E/W. Both had fish in them. The entry sites will be dusty, as the entire grounds are all dirt, no concrete. If youre into "glamping" this is not the area for you. It is 7 minutes from Vons if you forgot anything or need a supply run. No bears during my visit, but definitely they are around. Friendly people, only 1 night had a quiet hours violation. 8/10 for me.

It was very windy and cold for mid-to-late June but sometimes that happens and it can't be helped. There was a Moto-X motorcycle event going on in town and we had a lot of young kids on dirt bikes going a bit too fast up and down the dirt road in front of our campsite for the weekend but that wasn't *too* bad, and the camp host had in fact asked them not to at least once. Kids, what do you do? :) Overall, we really like the campground and how it's managed and taken care of. Bathrooms are always clean and the sites are taken care of. We really like it here.

Such an awesome campground. We have been staying here every year for the past 11 yrs. The park is well kept, bathrooms are clean, the host are friendly and the "camp animals" are always fun to see.

Great spot and was a pretty quiet camp site. The camp hosts were inviting and knowledgeable. Thsy let us know a mama bear was raising her cub on the outskirts of the camp, we didn't get to see her though.

Camp host Debbie and her husband are the best! This site was great for an RV. Can hear the creek at night.

Great campsite/spot #32. It was very clean. Firepit., picnic bench and bear box at each site. My site had plenty of shade and located close to the bathroom facility ( vault toilet), running water and trash. The bathrooms were very clean and maintained 2x per day. Camp hosts are very friendly and ready to help. The provided us with up to date area information including any bear activity. This is my 2nd time camping at Sherwin Creek and will look forward to the next outing.
