I always enjoy this park and the facilities, however this year I was disappointed to find out that the laundry facilities were closed without notice to the people with reservations.

It was a beautiful site with shade. Flat for leveling and easy access. Close to the water and nice walking paths

Everything great, except too many loose dogs running around. Everyone we talked to about it, said their dog was very well behaved, some were right, most were wrong. We kept ours on a leash even though he is a very "well behaved" dog. Other than that, great experience.

Volunteers and custodians work very hard to keep the park nice. Not happy about taking laundry facilities away from campers.

We had a wonderful time camping at Melvern outlet. I wish was soap in the bathrooms to wash your hands after using the restroom. Another bridge going across to the play area and beach would be nice, we were farther down and with the little it took us quite awhile to get there. All in all we had a wonderful time! It did need mowed but with the rain maybe they weren’t able to get it done..
