Our favorite campground hands down. Quiet, spacious, and beautiful. Park staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Especially Scott and his puppy Kobee. Can't wait to come back.

The campground is great, with spacious, tree filled sites and sits next to lake Sheridan. The problem we had was, Lake Sheridan is right next to Highway 385, which is under construction. The night we were there, the construction crew worked through the night, rebuilding the road. Our trailer was literally shaking from construction vibrations. Make sure that road construction is completed before your stay.

What an amazing place. The spots are clean and spacious; the vaults were clean and always stalked. The lake and it surroundings are picture perfect. We will definitely be back.

Beautiful site on the lake. No mosquitoes, not sure why or what they did, but I don't care not a single big bite in 3 nights!

Great site, good weather, couldn't have been better. I noticed a service draining a neighboring unit's black tank. Is this a local company that campers could hire? If so, please mention their contact number.

This campsite was a huge disappointment. There’s a reason they don’t have a photo of it on the listing. The campground itself was clean and overall great, but this specific campsite was on a large slope with hardly any even ground. The only spot to put your tent was in the parking spot. There is a flat portion at the top, but that is because it’s part of a trail that’s basically connected to the campsite. Additionally, the parking spot had no gravel so it was straight mud. Also, the fire ring is unusually close to the concrete bench, so if you have your own chairs to put up, you can really only put them on one side of the fire ring (still on a slope too). We had three nights booked at this site and ended up leaving early after the second.
