Camped here as a kid for many years, some of my favorite times. Got away from it all when my parents passed but have just recently returned and introduced my Girlfriend to sherwood. We had a great time, our hosts in Meadowcreek Jerry and Ruth ate AWESOME. We've decided to make this an annual thing so can't wait to return.
The only bad thing I have to say is the park service used to use guys from the correctional center to do up keep on the park, mowing, weedeating and such. They no longer do this and it's taking a toll on the beauty the park possesses. I know the park service is stretched thin but something really needs to be done.

Only negative thing was the potholes. It was like driving through a mine field.

Enjoy the Saturday activity for campers (Snake show, Bird of Prey show, etc.) as well as clean bathhouses that provide hot showers and flush toilets. Beautiful lake to canoe, fish or swim at the beach. Thankful for no electric and no cell service, truly unplug here. Lots to do in White Sulfur Springs, Marlinton and Lewisburg.

This was our first trip there. The lake was beautiful. However before we got there the storm came thru. So I could understand no power. But we had to leave before we could even start our second night. The bathrooms was closed we was tent camping and no way could go with out them. So we gave up 2 nights of reservations. Probably won't go back.

We had a great time camping with family. We camp at Sherwood Lake every year and have since I was small. Started with my parents and now take our children and grandkid. Fishing was great while we were there. Lots of bass and nice size bluegills. We did have a couple massive storms and trees down, but no one was hurt. Thankful my nephews had chain saws to cut our way out during the first one so we could get to the beach area to safety. Helped cut a tree off of a vehicle also.
