Cales Knoll Campground

About

Cales Knoll Loop is one of four camping loops at Lake Sherwood Recreation Area, West Virginia's premier family camping destination in the Monongahela National Forest. Perched along the shores of the 156-acre Lake Sherwood at 2,600 feet elevation, the campground offers a complete outdoor experience with swimming beaches, a boat ramp, and multiple hiking trails. Each campsite includes a parking spur, tent pad, picnic table, fire ring, and lantern post. During the summer season, bathhouses provide flush toilets, hot showers, and running water. In spring and fall shoulder seasons, vault toilets and a hand pump well are available. A dump station serves RV campers, though no hookups are available at individual sites. Lake Sherwood offers fishing opportunities for tiger muskie, channel catfish, bullhead, bluegill, and largemouth bass. Hiking trails include the Lake Sherwood Trail, Upper Meadow Trail, Meadow Mountain Trail, and Meadow Creek Trail. The campground is managed by the Marlinton-White Sulphur Ranger District.
