Sherwood Campground

Great little campground! Yes it can be a bit noisy at night with the highway and the trucks, but the river helps to drown some of that out. Sites are tight for an RV! Best suited for tents and campervans. At $30 a night, its not a cheap campground for having zero amenities. The river is full of feisty little trout. Best to fly fish and catch and release with barbless hooks. Great place if you are just looking for a easy spot to overnight. There is also plenty of dispersed camping nearby as well.

There isn't a camp host. There is not a source of water other than the river. So pack your own water. This is not a children friendly campground due to it's close proximity to highway 35. Management does not communicate with those who have made reservations. Example, on their website, says to bring your own firewood. Up on arrival, campfires were prohibited. There was no communication from management. The website also says there is no water hookup. This is inaccurate information, and that there is no water source at all. If you like jake brakes on trucks, this is a great place to stay at night! Otherwise, it is pretty noisy. The campsites were also misleading, and that our site, site 16, was listed as a back in for a trailer. There is no space to back in a trailer. The only place to park it was in a wide parking spot far away from the picnic table and shade. It is a very large camp site, which would be suitable for many tents. However, this campsite is not suitable for campers, other than very small teardrop trailers. The website needs to be honest about accessibility. Some of the campsites could not be reached from within the campground, but could be back into from highway 35. It is very near a trailhead, which makes this campground seem attractive. The campsites need to be redesigned to where they are not so crowded together. The toilet is located in the middle of all the campsites, so this meant that anyone needing to use the restroom had to walk through someone's campsite to go to the bathroom.

We stayed here over 4th of July. Camp spot # 5 is one of the best. It’s right next to the river and neighbors not too close. The campground is just off the highway, but when you are close to the river it drowns out the sounds of the cars going by. But I think the spots near the highway would be terrible for lights and car noise. We reserved online 3 months in advance. An awesome hike to a waterfall is a few hundred yards from the campground and you don’t have to worry about finding a parking spot. The hike itself is a few miles round trip.

We loved Sherwood! The bathrooms are about as good as they are going to get for a rustic campground (very clean & hand sanitizer). We stayed at campsite 5 and it is was perfect! Right on the river & we almost had a small little beachy area where we could put our feet in the water when it was hot.

If you can get a spot next to the river it is amazing. Great campground overall but a little close to the highway so book early to get near the river. Clean, good hosts and located close to great trails. Great waterfall hike nearby.
