Reserve your site on-line in advance - no walkup payment available (during covid)!. Need to pay camping fee via on line recreation.gov app only and cell service at campground is spotty at best. Also need to separately pay gate fee to park via a separate app (at least I had to on a weekday) (during covid).
Only B loop has showers in restrooms. A and C loop restrooms no showers. A and C loop have fewer campers.

Very scenic park, our site was narrow to get into but spacious at the fire ring and picnic table

We went the night before and Halloween night, so getting reservations wasn't a problem a week before, but the campground was full on Saturday night. People were respectful and kept the noise to a minimum, even on Halloween night and were largely social-distance sensitive with other groups. The restrooms were clean as was our campsite. Hiking trails are within easy walking distance of the campground. We had a nice weekend. Oak Ridge campground has become our easy to get to weekend getaway spot - assuming we think about it early enough to get reservations, which was never a problem prior to COVID.

We enjoyed the campground and the trails we hiked. It was a little stressful when we arrived because we reserved a spot listed as RV friendly - B5, but the 31' RV did not fit (the corner was in the roadway.
The camp host was helpful and luckily, B6 was still available and we were able to fit. I was very worried, since the campground was almost at capacity. We were also thankful for the change because B5 had standing water all weekend.
We also did not see signs for the campground from the initial road, just the scenic drive. We were expecting the tent symbol or "campground this way". Due to work we couldn't arrive until dark.

Nice camping with large sites and privacy. The free firewood was an amazing plus as were the immaculate bathrooms with free hot water. I had brought my quarters.
