Sherando Lake Campground, Blue Ridge Mountains, Virginia   Well me and my family have been going to Sharando Lake ever since I was born and we havn't gone anywhere else I love sherando and I can't wait to go back for another memorable camping weekend! Says Brooke As close to perfect a camping experience as you can get: 1) Private, secluded, spacious campsites 2)access to flush toilets and showers, 3) a breathtakingly beautiful lake/swim area 4)hiking trails. WORD OF CAUTION: in-season, all sites are snapped up by Thurday noon for the weekend. Come on Sunday for best selection or before Thursday if you     want a shot at a campsite. They don't take reservations (as of 8/2006) Wish they would so everyone could have a shot at a weekend camping trip there, not just the locals who can zip in and set a few camping chairs on the sites on Thursday to claim it for the weekend. Says Melissa My grandmother has camped there nearly every year for the past 30yrs and she got me addicted 9 years ago and now it's my tradition. It's clean, safe, and comfortable. It has some great trails, a perfect little beach, a very well-trained staff of rangers and volunteers, and if you stay just once you'll want to come back. I love Sherando Lake! And I'm coming back in just a few weeks!
