This is another park that has gotten very popular and may be difficult to get an electric site without a reservation. When we tried to get a spot last October it was full by noon. The only full hookup sites are the camphost sites which they will rent out if they are not occupied. Many of the electric/water sites are irregular in shape and may be a challenge to fit your Motorhome, trailer and jeep into. There are some long dry camping sites that you would likely fit into.

The reservation sites don't have the ramadas over the picnic tables.

I never paid much attention to that. Doesn't mean much if all the first come first serve sites are full by the time you get there and none of the reservation sites are available for even one night. Oliver Lee is far enough from the next nearest campground that if you are there later in the day and it turns out to be full, I would suggest you make some calls rather than continue going from campground to campground.
