Make sure you check out how far away the electric is from your campsite. Mine was so far away it was impractical.

Great sites and easy to setup RV. There is a lot to do: multiple hiking trails, great fishing, lake beach, and kayak rentals.

The campground is really nice, but absolutely nothing for kids to do, not even a swing. The places used to be beautiful and well groomed, now its tons of downed trees and so overgrown you almost miss the exit to turn into the park.

We had an incidence with termites that swarmed our camper and camping space. We talked to two camp hosts and they alleviated the problem. It occurred in an oak tree on our site. There was a hole in the tree that we know used to be a squirrels home. The ants covered the hole and down the trunk to the ground. We noticed the bugs with white wings at the same time. They swarmed our camping site the next day. When we went to report this incidence, we noticed the termites flying around the camp hosts campers too. The spray took care of the problem and we had no other incidence like this. Now, we also had an issue with the electric box on site 23. The outlets for extension cords DID NOT WORK! We love camping at Oak Hill campground, but please repair the electric boxes. The outlets in the box on site 22 did not work either. I also wanted to mention that the roads leading from the boat docks to the campground are atrocious!! They surveyed the road last year, but did nothing to repair the road in the off season! Come on! Are they waiting for something bad to happen before they address the safety of every camper who travels to Oak Hill? You have many states represented at this campground. Please repair the road to the campground and the electric boxes at the individual sites.

Absolutely beautiful but warning for the tent campers. Most of the sites are stated to be both tent and RV accessible but that’s not entirely true. Stick to the site on the inside of the drive circle and you’ll be grand.
