Highly recommend this camping location. We tent camp and the group site was perfect for us! We will be back again. Plenty to do near and further. Surrounded by breweries and wineries. Hiking trails are short but sweet. Can travel for other hiking opportunities. Fishing spots were good. Beach area was nice and clean. Bathrooms were always clean.

The group campsites were perfect for our needs. We especially appreciated the large field for group games, ample supply of picnic tables, many good spots to pitch tents, as well as convenient water spigots. The bathhouse was very clean. We enjoyed the area down at Sherando Lake itself. There's a nice hiking loop around the lake suitable for children. The sandy beach was very nice and many of our group enjoyed swimming out to an island. We were there after Labor Day, so, while the gift shop was closed, the lakefront was much quieter than on the holiday weekend. Our whole experience was pleasant.

The group campsites are a must for anyone with small children. It’s secluded with a massive open field in the middle so all of the kids can play without worrying about cars and they are always in your line of sight. The actual campsite is massive. Giving you and your fellow campers plenty of space to enjoy and kids to run around and explore. The bathrooms were clean and showers well taken care of. Honestly I won’t ever stay at another site when I go to sherando. There’s a power hookup at the showers but we didn’t need it at all for our gear personally.

Luis, our campground host was wonderful! Our Girl Scout Troop had a marvelous weekend! Thank you for such a beautiful space!

Sherando Lake is a beautiful campground and impeccably maintained. We rented all the group sites for a weekend and our host was very friendly and helpful. The only cleaner than the facilities was the park and trails. Everything about Sherando Lake is great and it is hands-down one of our favorite places to camp.

Clean, spacious, quiet, and volunteers were friendly. No camp host yet bc early in season. Bathroom was clean. Mostly left alone. Volunteers and ranger introduced themselves and waved when they passed by. Mostly alone on the group loop until the last night. Love the field in the middle of the loop. Sherando lake hike was lovely. Saw tadpoles in lake.

Beautiful park, couldn’t have asked for a better first camping experience (even with the rain lol)

Very clean facilities & nicely kept campsites. My group camped the weekend after Labor Day and you could hardly tell! Our firepit did need to be dug out as there was a lot of ash in the bottom of it.

The group campsites were HUGE! There appeared to be a very nice bathhouse under construction, which I’m guessing should be finished or open by now. It was a bit of an inconvenience with just the 2 outhouses for all of the group camping. Other than that, I can’t wait to come back! Sherando Lake is so convenient to all of the nice hikes and breweries in Nelson County :)

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
