This campsite is amazing -- you are right on one of the most beautiful lakes you can imagine, and a short walk from a swimming beach and boat rentals. It is very isolated, and you won't get any cell service, but if both of those are good things for you, then this is the place to be.

We have enjoyed using the group site for many years. It is a lovely site close to the lake. We wish it had showers.

We love camping at Sherwood because the sites are large, the vegetation provides privacy, and the restrooms are clean. Even the less popular sites are nicer than what is found at other state or federal campgrounds. The lake is beautiful and the trails are well-maintained.
