A few friends stay here in the summer to go off roading in the nearby park. I visited them in the evening for dinner and campfire. Staff was on hand, making sure rules were followed but they were very friendly. Rest rooms were clean and everything was orderly. Quiet at night, no loud partying.
Note to bicycle tourists, it's a nice campground right on the Mesabi State Trail. However, our group of seven friends and family was charged $150 for one night of primitive camping. We were in the middle of a one week bicycle tour and didn't even have a vehicle. We had seven bicycles and six one person backpacking tents. Apparently each person sleeping in their own one person tent is charged an additional $25 a night. It would have been significantly cheaper if we had just arrived in a giant RV. We didn't even get electricity to charge phones for the next day's ride to Grand Rapids. It seems like there should have been a little grace shown for extra small tents, especially in a city owned campground right on a bicycle trail.
The lake was great.... The camp attendants on the the other hand where extremely rude and disrespectful. They tried to change us 3 times for the same spot. Would not recommend the camp ground to anyone.
Nice campground in a beautiful setting. The Mesabi trail runs nearly through it and an excellent ATV right around the corner. They run a tight ship to keep everyone happy and not stepping on each other’s toes. Hit and miss as far the campsites being level and the electric, water and sewer (for the sites that are so equipped) are oddly placed but doable. Friendly hosts to!
Spent a week at Sherwood campground wheeling with some friends. Wendy the camp host was super helpful and accommodating for us. Campground was clean and the Bathrooms were spotless being freshly cleaned every morning. Firewood was delivered to the campsite.
The campground has access to atv trails and the off road park. There is a gas station accessible from the trail which was convenient.
The sewer water and power is a little tricky your going to want to bring some extra hoses and such. Also bring enough leveling lumber the sites for the most part are uneven.
We will camp here again.
