Clean sites and restrooms. Rangers came around and delivered firewood since the wood sheds weren't filled. Had fun walking to the Amphitheater and hiking to the river.

Easy check-in. Friendly park staff. Nice camping pad with a large fire pit. Plenty of free-for-taking firewood. Some of the cleanest bathhouses I’ve seen at a campsite ever. Great proximity to trailhead. Nicely removed from cars/city such that we don't hear/see them. I’ve already stayed here twice, and will probably stay again next summer. Cheers!

I originally planned on spending 3 nights at Oak Ridge, using it as an inexpensive sleeping area while I explored Washington, DC. The campground as clean and quiet. Maybe this was because I chose weeknights during the offseason, but in general I find NPS campgrounds to be the cleanest and quietest. My stay ended a night early, because while I was in the bathroom and bear decided to inspect my tent. I was only gone a few minutes, and at 1 AM there wasn't enough light to tell if the tent was knocked over by a bear doing bear things or a psycho human. I spent the rest of that night in my car with the doors locked and keys in the ignition. After sunrise I could see that it was a bear that came to visit and not an axe murderer, so I felt much better. In the future, I would probably set up a perimeter with some noisy cans or something on twine and hope that any bears walking through would trip on it and be frightened by the noise.
