we knew coming in there was no water in the lake, so that was not a problem for us. Our site was shaded and was easy to level.
Showers are available at the other loop and were clean.

We love camping at Oakhill campground. Our site is perfect for us. Glad to see they are working on the road to the campground. Hopefully that work will be completed shortly.

The lake is empty for dam repair and nothing on your website states this. Heat index was 105 degrees and nowhere to cool off. Without the lake and beach, the campground isn't worth staying at. I was able to hike and bike but with the heat, had to stay inside the camper during the day.

Lake Vesuvius was drained a few months prior to our stay. There was no mention of this on the reservation site, nor during our internet search of the lake. We anticipated a lake side camping trip, but tried to enjoy a dry lake bed experience.

The lake is drained no beach. My arm was cut and bruised by the unsecured electric panel cover that had a broken support bracket. The site had no electricity on the 110 and I told the host. He didn't notify the office I had to call them. After showing my injury to two employees working in the electric neither seem to care.
