I always enjoyed my stay at Sheridan. The only negative I give Sheridan is the $12 pet fee. We had a new less than 5# dog this year and was taken aback by the fee. I always pick up after her.

Very independent/do it yourself campsite. If you are an "out of towner" have some cash on hand to purchase firewood. There is no attendant so you will need to find your own camping site and all payments for sites and wood are made by envelope in a box. There is also no WiFi/cell service in the campground or on the lake. BUT - the sites and bathrooms are clean (vault). The lake and views are stunning. The campsites are spacious. We would totally camp there again - we just we're quite prepared for being off the grid.

Site is beautiful but dont arrive too late to your reserved spot or it will be rented out again to someone else. We were running late so arrived in the wee hours only to find a tent in our RV spot. We backed in as far as we could, obviously blocking our new co-renters and they were told that we had reserved the spot and they thought this was a first come first serve site. Nevertheless, we did not awake to the beautiful spot we reserved and someone took their money and let the tent folks share our space.

We absolutely loved it at Sheridan. Going back this year. Very well kept park and everyone was so helpful.

Camped at Sheridan Lake (South) campground off and on since the '60's so I've seen it change over the years, some for the good, some not. At one point the entrance to the campground was configured like a high security area with ' spring loaded drive across tire stop devices' aka - you couldn't drive against the device without puncturing your times - something totally against the theme of camping in a National forest campground. That scenario is long gone. The front entrance is now user friendly, manned by folks who want to be there and help in any way they can.The campground is fairly well maintained. There are volunteers who cleanup but they could do a better job. I understand it's a 'volunteer effort' but if you're going to get a free spot in the campground in exchange for service work, then the service work effort needs to be equivalent to being paid for your work.Campground is large with a good number of sites. Weekends during the summer WILL be busy as many locals utilize the campground. Sites are well spaced and laid out so that you're not camping on top of your neighbor (GREAT!). Pit toilets are cleaned well, for the most part (more effort could be expended here, especially during / after a heavy weekend's use.The only major drawback is a complete lack of program presentation. The Forest Service used to have regular programs presented at the amphitheater. According to front entrance personnel this hasn't happened in years. I'd strongly encourage its resumption with proactive alerts given to campers as they enter the campground. These presentations help educate folks about the National Forests and their use, sustainability factors, and what can be found within (flora & fauna).
