Sheridan Lake campground offers a beautiful and well-maintained environment with spacious, clean sites, making it a popular choice for campers. Many guests enjoyed the proximity to local attractions and the peaceful setting, with clean bathrooms and friendly camp hosts receiving positive mentions. However, some visitors faced issues such as mice infestations, additional fees for beach access, and concerns about customer service, which have led to mixed reviews regarding their overall experience.

Sites are spread out nicely so you are not right on top of your fellow campers. They sites are very big and cleaned up nicely. Bathrooms are vault tolets but were maintened well. Lake was beautiful and the kids had a lot of fun at the swim beach.

I love Sheridan Lake and was looking forward to taking my grandkids for their first camping/fishing experience! Sadly, the weather was not cooperative and we decided not to make their first trip miserable and cooped up in a tent... But we did spend several days fishing and had a blast!

It was a very nice place. We enjoyed our view and it was very quiet there.

Wonderful campground with the exception of the billions of flies that covered the walls of the outhouse. No sign in outhouse saying "please close the toilet lid after use" which would have helped to keep the flies at bay. Informed concessionaire at gate and their reply was "we are in the process of painting", but we saw no signs of painters or prep in our 8 days there. Outhouse ran out of tp 2 days before our departure, again we informed the concessionaire and no action was taken to re-supply the tp. Campground was full of big rv's, most of which ran generators. Forest Service should consider making some of the loops generator free for those of us that don't want to hear the generators roar so that someone can watch tv or run their AC. Lake and surrounding area was absolutely beautiful.

The view of the lake was beautiful!! Campground was clean, quiet. Pet friendly. September nights can get chilly… make sure to pack extra blankets if tenting! 😊
