Oak Hill - Lake Vesuvius

The toilets (pit not flush) were functional but a little stinky. There was no shade at our sight. It was very hot during the day. The lake was nice but the boat launch needed cleaned out because there is a sand bar as you enter.

Only stayed here one night, we lucked out with our site as we had a lot of privacy. Only got to enjoy the lake for a few moments before moving on but people were swimming and having fun. Park appeared to be clean, which is always nice to see.

We love camping at Lake Vesuvius Oak Hill. It is quiet and peaceful. We are seniors, so we cannot say much about activities. We do watch the children ride their bikes, scooters and skateboards. They also have blacktop chalk and have drawn many beautiful pictures. We have a pet, Macy. She loves to walk, so we do a lot of that when we camp. She went blind a few months ago, so we don’t walk as far this year. We usually walk up to Two Points. It is beautiful up there. We have even seen deer grazing there. I love to read while I’m at camp and it is the perfect time to read. I have read 5 books our 1st trip and 4 1/2 books our 2nd trip. We even like a rainy day on occasion. We watch movies then! Again, we love camping here. It’s our go to campground!!❤️

Very nice and peaceful camping, good biking but would recommend a e-bike as some of the hills are a pretty steep grade.

Only complaint would be the utility trucks that were coming through at well over posted speed limits while we were there.

We stayed at camp site 31, and upon arriving there was a riding lawn mower plugged in, occupying our space. The camp seemed to be home to many people who "live" there, so as someone visiting, we felt very "watched" and out of place. One of the reasons we chose this camp was due to the lake, and its beach, however the beach was closed due to high levels of e coli, so our kids couldn't swim - though we were not notified anywhere before hand.

Despite the e coli in the water, we were still about to rent a kayak and tried to enjoy the lake, as well as take advantage of the hiking and fishing that was available.

While we made the best of our weekend, we will not be returning to this campground.

cold water in showers, all else was great

We had an enjoyable 2 weeks at Lake Vesuvius. Our visit mainly for rest and relaxation. It was quiet and very pleasant. We had a couple of days of rain, but we stayed in the camper and watched movies on those days. The weather ranged from 23 degrees to 88 degrees while we were there. We did a lot of walking with our dog, Macy. All in all, it was a great 2 weeks!

Host were most helpful.

The electric was off due to a storm. It was supposed to be back on the first day there We went home to stay the night and went back waiting on electricity. The next day no power the next no power so we took the camper home and skipped the last two nights. I tried to find how I could get a refund but you can’t find it on rec.gov website. Very disappointed

We arrived to a clean campground. Found our site and settled in. On Friday the remnants from hurricane made its way thru. Campground lost power. Tree debris was everywhere. We did not see a host or a Ranger the entire time. We finally gave up on power returning on Sunday. We left a whole day early. Still never saw a host or Ranger. Cleanup of campground had not begun when we left.
