Really great campsite! Shore line is a bit marshy at the time we went, so bring appropriate shoes / pants for bugginess. Hosts were very helpful and informative, and kept us in the loop about storms approaching and where to take shelter. Great host.

Only feedback would be better/clear instruction on where to wash dishes near campsites - we mostly just saw where NOT to wash them.

Site was great. Backing in was a little tricky because the site is flanked by trees and angled almost 90 degrees from the road (we have a 17’ trailer). Rented a John boat which was awesome.

One of my very favorite campgrounds! Beautiful views, great trails, large private campsites, and new bathrooms. I have been visiting Lake Sherwood since I was a child and it remains one my very favorite places to camp. Looking forward to my next trip.

The new bathrooms and showers were great. We had reserved a campsite and when we arrived there was a much better site across the road that was non-reservable, first come first serve. I asked if we could move at the check in office. They guy said yes but we would have to pay for it. So we did move and then a different person was at the office when we went to pay and they got all in a tissy because that was not allowed. We paid for two campsites so I don’t see a problem and they office worker shouldn’t either.

Lake Sherwood is gorgeous! The campsites are huge and far enough apart for privacy. Miles and miles of beautiful hiking. The showers are a little dated, but clean and hot water. We will definitely go back. It is our new favorite!
