Sherando Lake Recreation Area Family Camping in VA -- Campground & RV Camping

Sherando Lake Recreation Area sits at 1,800 feet in the Blue Ridge Mountains, built around a 25-acre lower lake with a sandy beach and a 7-acre upper fishing lake. The campground features three loops: Loops B and C offer electric hookups for RVs, while Loop A has non-electric sites for tents and small units under 20 feet. Sites include picnic tables, fire rings, lantern posts, and bear-proof food storage lockers. Amenities include flush toilets, showers, drinking water, a dump station, and an RV water fill station. Non-gasoline boating, trout fishing, and lakeside hiking trails are on site.

Getting there: From I-64, take Exit 96 just east of Stuarts Draft. Go south on State Route 624, which becomes State Route 664 at Lyndhurst. Continue south on State Route 664 approximately 8 miles to the entrance to the Sherando Lake Recreation Area on the right. The gatehouse is approximately 0.5 miles ahead. If the gatehouse is closed, continue through the recreation area to your assigned campsite in either White Oak Loop (Loop A), which is the first turn to the right after passing the lower lake or Meadow Loop (Loop C), which is the last loop on the left before the playground. A campground host is available in each loop to answer questions you may have.
