What a beautiful campground. The sites are spacious, the bathroom was kept up twice a day and access to the water was great! We were right next to a ramp down to concrete steps that led to the water. Highly recommend!

We very much enjoyed our visit at Outlet Bay. During the day the campground was very quiet as almost everyone was off doing something fun. There is lots of room between sites in the area we were camped up at the top of A Loop. So privacy was not a concern. Out only concern was a bunch of Campers were running their generators well into the evening and our Neighbor ran theirs all night long. We could barely hear it inside our Trailer as the windows and vents were all shut on a cool May night but we will be asking about their quiet ours before considering this location for a summer visit where we would have windows open on a hot evening.

Great site friendly neighbor. We had great weather. The beach access was not suitable for our kayak. But launched just down the road.
