Very clean & pretty park, busy way with traffic in the park, plus lots of highway noise and not much privacy at all.

This is a quiet, well-laid-out park with lots of green space, lots of water, lots of wildlife. I was there over Memorial Day weekend and there was plenty of room for activity or solitude, as one wished, even though the campground was full.
The Host and Staff are also quite friendly and helpful. I had trouble getting online and then getting a site because of holiday weekend requirements that weren't posted on the website where I could see them.

C-loop is a beautiful campground, the pond in the Outlet is good fishing along with the trails. There were server storms two nights while I was there, the next morning the camp maintains we’re out cleaning up. There is no way to have a bad experience at the outlet campground.

Beautiful park, spotless showers, and very well maintained. The only problem in reserving a spot in "C" is that they have to be booked 6 mo. in advance. When we were there, at east 5-6 spots were not occupied. alto showed booked on the site. Not fair to others that would like to use those spots. What's the deal?

Excellent place to camp. Trails are great for walking or riding bikes. Bath houses kept very clean. We love this campground!
