I had been to lake Vesuvius many times growing up and had not visited for several years and was happy to see that everything pretty much looked as I remembered! The trails are marked better these days as well. All the facilities were very clean and easy to locate, and I liked our campsite.

Iron Ridge campground was beautiful. The water supply was shut off during my visit, but I was notified prior and planned for it so there was no problem. Perhaps the water/bathrooms being out of service is why there was almost no one else there which was wonderful. The sites would have been rather close to each other if they were full. There was no entrance sign coming from 93 so I passed the entrance, but there is a sign coming the other way from the east.

would really appreciate lantern hooks by the tables for the non-electric sites. That would make it perfect. Love this campground. I travel to National Forests in Montana and Wyoming and always rave about the facilities and am SO happy to have found something as good as that here in Ohio. This place is great. I'm hopeful, it will continue to have the same level of upkeep.
