Sherwood is the perfect spot to vacation and "unplug" from the world. It was disappointing the warm/hot water didn't work in the West Shore women's bathroom, but signs were posted which bathrooms did have warm water. I have been camping at Sherwood for 40+ years. It is a great family campground.

The new bathrooms and showers in Meadow Creek are absolutely awful. They have nowhere to put anything while you shower: you have to go back and forth from shower to bathroom to dry your hair and brush your teeth. They are not being cleaned : they were dirty the whole week we were there. We HATE them ! They should have just installed new faucets in the old bathrooms.

Camping at Lake Sherwood is always something we look forward to... from kayaking to swimming, or just spending time with friends and family. The lake is much cleaner this year, but still need to be diligent in keeping the water shield under control. The reason for the 4 stars rating is because the women's shower in West Shore, for 2 weeks, only had 1 shower working. Even with the camp host requesting permission to fix the issue as he is a master plumber, and by the end of the 1st week it should have and could have been fixed.

Looks like there is money flowing into the campground, New Bathhouses (mine didn't have water yet) and improved gravel sites. It is a wonderful area, so I hope they keep it getting upgrades. We'll be back to check!
