Wonderful campground. I only wish they took reservations. We have gone there several times and not been able to stay because they were full. One of my favorite places to stay. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Very clean and well laid out CG. All sites are very level w/water and elec hookups. Some sites are on the creek but they are hard to get on a Friday night. The CP does usually fill up on most weekends, so make sure you get there by 5 or so to get a spot. The lake is very pretty and it has a beach swimming area for kids. Plenty of hiking trails nearby as well as the blue ridge parkway. We have added this CG to one our favorites. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Nice park but it felt rather congested when our loop got fairly full. No water at the sites but freshwater spigots available to fill your tanks. All sites level, fairly deep and nicely configured. We have a 30 ft class A. Road from lake to camping loops is narrow. Bathhouses are not heated and showers were tepid at best. Very pretty lake and campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a beautiful campground in autumn with the colorful leaves reflecting on the lake. There are about 20 sites in B and C loop with electric that are sized for RV's. It looked like all of the sites would be large enough for our 30 ft class A and many would accomodate much larger rigs. Bathrooms were very clean. The showers did not have temp control on the push button nozzles, we did not use them so we don't know how warm they were. The sites were very level with hard packed sand and lots of trees and space between them. The road in the park leading to the campground loops seemed narrow; it's probably wide enough for two large rigs to pass but I was very glad that we didn't have to. The whole campground was in great condition and we would love to get back there to spend more time some day. The CG can be reached from the Blue Ridge Parkway from MM 13. 5 and the junction with route 664 or MM 16 and the junction with route 814. Route 814 off the parkway is much less steep than route 664 but both are fine. We believe that the campground closes the end of Oct. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Sherando Lake is located in the George Washington and Jefferson National Forest (not too far from Waynesboro). Beautiful lake surrounded by hills. Camping is first come first served, so don't go on a Friday afternoon unless you have a backup plan. Down by the lake are warm showers and toilets. These bathrooms are nicer than the ones closer to the campsites. They are also used by people who come to the lake for day use. The lake is 24 acres fed by springs with a nice sandy beach for kids. No lifeguards. Hiking trails. Campsites are clean, but no rangers in the evenings to ensure quiet hours. The sites are level but the road is hilly. Larger vehicles need to be in the bottom loop further from the lake. We camped here in a Tent.
