Wonderful place to stay! Our favorite RV destination. We enjoy the hiking, camping lakeside, and ice cream from the boat shop.

Enjoyed our time at Sherwood lake. Our camp host Jerry and Jesse where very helpful and like always did a great job in making the visit pleasurable. Love the family atmosphere at Sherwood lake.
The camp sites need a lot of work. Grass was high. Need to invest in putting electricity to all of the sites.

Beautiful location. We have camped at Lake Sherwood in excess of 50 years. We have witnessed improvements over those many years to accommodate campers. We were disappointed that not all campgrounds had been updated with restrooms & showers. Our Meadow Creek Loop still has dated bathroom facilities while all the other campgrounds have new bathroom facilities. The campsite #87 is desperate need of gravel. It’s a muddy mess when it rains. Also, it would be a great service to campers to provide a designated “hotspot” for cell service. Lastly a stocking of bass & other fish is greatly needed.

Lovely lake. My family had a great time on their first camping trip there. We stayed almost a week. I enjoyed myself but if you are planning on going fishing, have your fishing license before you get there because this camp grounds doesn't have onsite temp licensing for fishing and Walmart is 45 minutes away. Some camp sites I've been to do have temp fishing license. Another thing is if you are camping in a tent, bring you a set of solar panels. Only the bath house has electric. Bring non perishable food. Use zip lock freezer bags to put ice in to keep food and drink cold without the mess of water in the bottom of the cooler. The boat house sells ice, eggs and milk. There are bears and what my husband calls "Mafia squirrels." Do not leave food out or trash out! We seen a black bear crossing the street on our way back into the park our 2nd day there. The wild life was beautiful. Very Clean and well kept camp ground. I took a shower in the bathhouse with a tree frog which was so cool. we swam, my husband rented a boat on the lake and took our son out fishing for the first time. They ended up playing pirates instead. I recommend this place 100%. Disconnecting from the world and resting under the stars, was just what our family needed before school started back up. The camp staff was great and very helpful. thank you
