Hiking Lovers Retreat
Oak Ridge is our favorite local go-to campground. This site meets all of our expectations with exceptionally clean bathrooms to boot. It's a short jaunt away with miles of hiking trails. The sites are generously sized, wooded and private. If you're going with a group there are also sites that connect. C Loop is the most private with several sites being walk-in. B Loop is mostly shaded and also the only loop with showers (my preference). A Loop is first to come, first served whereas Loops B and C are reservation only. Firewood is available but they do not provide much so I recommend bringing what you need if you plan on having a fire for more than one night. There are a few trailheads accessible from the camping loops but many you'll need to drive to. Parking is limited but I've never had trouble finding a spot. If you want a quick getaway without driving hours outside of the metro area this is your place!
