Great place to camp with family, and have been going for years. We had an issue with no water on campground for a time period and were refunded promptly for our stay.

The "B" and "C" campsites are very nice and the lake is beautiful. The ropes should be knoted on floated on the lake and improvement. Also, gets the dogs out the lake where people are swiming.

Camp ground hosts, Steve and Kim made the Sherando stay fantastic. Campsites are spotless, levelish and roomy. No problem backing 38 foot class A into spots CO1, C10 & C13. Last two are shaded.

Campsite was clean and well maintained. Loved the location next to the creek. Bath houses were clean and relatively new with hot water showers... What could be better.

The experience at Sherando was excellent. My wife and I enjoyed ourselves very much!!!

I have visited and stayed at Sherando Lake for over 50 years and have always enjoyed the experience. However, one of the worst problems that we have encountered, not only at Sherando, but many other Forest Service, NPS, and state park campgrounds is that there are too many campers bringing to many dogs and the dogs are urinating on the camp sites. The odor is disgusting and the frequent barking is very annoying. My recommendation is that the campgrounds should have designated sites for those bringing dogs and/or designated areas that should be used for dogs to urinate or defacate.

Nice campground. Friendly camp hosts. Beautiful scenery. Some sites a little close but not too bad. We had noisy neighbors, but mostly because they were old (like us) and just talked loud all the time. Lakes are awesome and hiking great. Will be back!

The curfew isn’t recognized by most campers. It was loud until well after midnight. I informed the host about it. Other than not being able to get to sleep we had a nice time. The sites were very clean and well maintained

We were told we had to leave on the 31st. due to a mix up in reservations. Everyone left the campgrounds per the request of the host. He said we would be reimbursed for the nights we did not stay. Still waiting for the funds??? The host seems anxious to get out of dodge and was really pushing for everyone to leave. He made the stay very negative. The park itself is great. Please explain when we ( other campers) will receive our refund!???

Host was excellent!! Very clean campground thanks to him!!!Need to put Site B on the map and make it reservable! Lost money due to it being closed. Up date your map to show sites on B. We suggested that two years ago. That is a shame with COVID. People getting out and nowhere to camp. Relax with COVID...Its OK. Let us and others enjoy the great park and camp host. Bring him back next year!!!!!!!!

Great campgrounds in the middle of a beautiful valley. Nice walking trails, level lots with lots of shade.

We have been camping at Sherando for the last twenty plus years. It is a family time and we love it. Because we have small grandchildren we always booked the first week in August so we could celebrate Smokey the Bear's birthday. Unfortunately the last two years there have been no celebrations :( Also we are noticing that the quality of supervision has deteriorated as well as the maintenance of the bath house facilities. It is a beautiful place with good fishing, boating and beach activity.
