Many visitors appreciate the friendly hosts, the spacious layout of the campsites, and the availability of hiking and biking opportunities.

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.

We had a perfect 10 day trip. It was quiet and beautiful. The trees had no leaves when we arrived, but were leafed out by the time we left. We love site 29 and have reserved it for the entire camping season! It got cold the last 2 days we were there, but I could find no fault in the weather.

We enjoy staying at Oak Hill every year. Great campground to walk. We walk around Two Points where there is a bat house. If you walk up there around dusk, you will find no mosquitoes as the bats scarf them up! The sites are private. We have met so many people on our stays at Oak Hill over the years. It’s a great campground!
