The group campsites were perfect for our needs. We especially appreciated the large field for group games, ample supply of picnic tables, many good spots to pitch tents, as well as convenient water spigots. The bathhouse was very clean.

We enjoyed the area down at Sherando Lake itself. There's a nice hiking loop around the lake suitable for children. The sandy beach was very nice and many of our group enjoyed swimming out to an island. We were there after Labor Day, so, while the gift shop was closed, the lakefront was much quieter than on the holiday weekend.

Our whole experience was pleasant.

Highly recommend this camping location. We tent camp and the group site was perfect for us! We will be back again. Plenty to do near and further. Surrounded by breweries and wineries. Hiking trails are short but sweet. Can travel for other hiking opportunities. Fishing spots were good. Beach area was nice and clean. Bathrooms were always clean.
