We stayed the first week of August and it was beautiful weather! The shower houses were very clean and well stocked. On the other hand the vault bathrooms were clean and stocked but the toilets were disgusting! We were there for 9 days and the toilet itself never got cleaned ! Other than that everything else was very pleasant !

I’ve been coming to Sherwood for over 40 years and this past visit was probably the best. We went mushroom hunting, kayaking and swimming. With trip was extra special because we met up with life long friends. However I would like to see the beach groomed on the regular.

We love our 2 weeks of vacation at Lake Sherwood, from riding bikes, swimming, hiking, fishing, and making s'mores. It's a wonderful place to make memories!
West shore was in good shape this year with the Igo's taking care to make the sites were clean and mowed, and the bathhouses clean and stocked.

Love the lake except for the lily pads. The host in west shore Alfred & Janet Igo were excellent, they kept the bathrooms spotless, the sites mowed & clean. If you had a problem they were on it. You can go biking, swimming, hiking, boating, play horseshoes, volleyball. Nice playground. Very quiet and peaceful.

We had an amazing experience at Lake Sherwood. We stayed on site 72 which was right near the boat launch so it was super easy to put our kayak in the water. We enjoyed quiet mornings on the water and saw the sunset each night on our boat. Loved watching all the wildlife. A deer visited our area every morning and evening. We took the hike around the lake and noticed all the beaver activity. The stars were amazing! The bathrooms could definitely be cleaner but otherwise one of our favorite places to visit so far. The site was shady and had plenty of room for our tent, hammocks and screened in tent.

We stayed in the WSHR loop at the campground. That section was extremely well maintained by camp hosts Alfred and Jane. The grass was mowed and the bathhouse spotless. It was by far the nicest campground we've ever stayed at! Quiet, beautiful lake to kayak and swim, nice hiking trails.
