A recently modernized camping area, Oak Ridge Campground, is a
great place to spend an overnight stay. There are 115 shaded
campsites with electricity, water and a shower building available.
Two sets of stairways and boat dock provide access to the lake
for campers here. A 120-foot floating walkway connects the
campground with the marina area as well.
If you have a group, A Rent-A-Camp site is available. The site has
a two room cabin with bunkbeds. The site can be reserved by
contacting the Park Office. For those preferring a more
secluded spot with a scenic view of the lake, 10 walk-in sites are
available. A separate Youth Group Camp is available at the
Persimmon and Whippoorwill areas.
The sites here are well spaced and many with exceptional
ground-cover between them. There are some steep steps
leading down to the lake with a small dock to fish from. I
noticed a few pit toilets within the campground as well. The bath
house was adequate and clean.
This campground is 'off the beaten path' and is very much out of
the way. Due to heavy rains during our two days camping, I was
not able to take any pictures.
I camped here during late Sept 2008.
