Great campground. Most spots are level and somewhat shaded. However, #14 required jacking the front very high and beyond ability of power jack. Fortunately, I had a 12” block to get it up to level.

Great place to camp! Need to have more events for October weekends such as hayrides, etc. Trick or treat in the campground and campsite decoration contests are great too. Pumpkin carving contest is good too.

We have visited Lake Vesuvius two other times. The campground is very nice with paved sites and very clean bathrooms and showers. As clean as they were, when I tried to take a shower I waited for the water to warm up and it just didn't. Finally, after it warmed to just under tepid, not warm, I took a very chilly shower. Otherwise we had a lovely time walking around the lake and enjoying the beautiful fall colors and weather.
I would like to come in the summer and take advantage of the kayaks for rent.

Love this campground, very upset that it was closed 2 weeks early. Liked it better when the last weekend was at the end of august.

Nice campground. No attendant. You needed to drive to the lake. Water was so murky. Road was narrow with a steep drop off. Lots of beautiful butterflies. Close to Huntington WV with nice restaurants.

Our trip to Oakhill Campground was very nice. We love site 23….there is so much room at the site and our dog has a 50 ft cable with the ability to roam the entire site. We also love the quiet and the isolation. We have four more trips planned this camping season!
