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!

I have been going to Lake Sherwood for 30 years and the only complaint I've ever had was weather related. The staff at Lake Sherwood is always friendly and helpful. When I leave there I'm always thinking about my next trip. The updated showers bathrooms was a very needed and appreciated update. If someone asked me about what I like best and worst it would be:
Likes:
The sound of a crackling fire early in the morning and evening
Waking up to the sound of the birds singing
Hearing rain on my tent at night
The sounds of children laughing and playing
Spending time with my daughter and her family
Walking the trails and taking photos of the lake
The peacefulness in the early morning while walking to the lake to watch the sunrise
Meeting new people who share in the love of this place
Eating and cooking outdoors...I don't even mind doing dishes!
Seeing my grandson's enthusiasm at meeting up with an old friend and fishing buddyI
I love this place!

Dislikes:
Packing up and going home
Unpacking

Nice campground nestled in the Monongahela National Forest. Plenty of wildlife to watch, trails to bike or walk on, and easy lake access for boating or fishing. Campground facilities were well maintained. Warm water showers are a plus!

Brand new bath and shower buildings which are modern and nice looking. Enjoy. New modern facilities but don't worry, it's still the same beautiful campground it's always been.
