We've camped twice at Oak Ridge, once in April of 2022 and once in September 2023. It was much nicer in September because the trees were full of leaves, some of which were even turning red. I tried to get a camp site that had a little bit of a walk to it - there are a few. Otherwise, it does feel like you're very close to your neighbors. There is a nice bathroom facility and potable water. We even discovered a service sink on the second day that we used to wash our pot and pan. There are a few hikes within walking distance - especially if you walk along the road to get to even more, which isn't bad because there's a bike lane on one side that you can walk in if needed. However, most of the hikes are pretty similar (forest, with some ferns, and a few places where you cross the stream). There's no elevation or great views, but it's a lovely way to get out of the city and very close to DC so it makes for an easy 1 night camping trip!

Beautiful campground. Spaces were large and you didn't feel like your neighbor was right on top of you. Could catch trails right from the campground.

Camp site 12 is extremely rocky with stones that aren’t easily moved. Lots of tripping hazards I found out the hard way.

Very quiet, mostly empty campground for the whole 12 days that we stayed there. Excellent hiking and biking opportunities near the campground. Gunfire from the Quantico Firing range could be heard, but it was very very distant. Not disruptive or concerning in the least bit.
Shower house was very recently renovated and ranks as the nicest shower house I've seen in the entire National Park System. However, it is infrequently cleaned, perhaps due to low usage of the campground.
We used this campground as base camp for exploring Washington DC during our stay. It was about 80 minutes drivetime to downtown Washington during mid-morning traffic.
