Comments have been documented per Recreation.gov Case CS4200436 - External: Feedback.
In summary, the overhead trees need trimmed or you very well could damage your rubber roof when entering or exiting the campsite.

Outlet park at Melvern is one of our favorite go-to places. The grounds are beautiful and well kept with ample shade. We do lots of biking and trail walking. The beach is great too. if you’re into boating the marina has everything you need although it is closed currently due to storm damage.

Melvern Lake Outlet Park is probably the best campground in the state. Always well taken care of, all host's and park people are fantastic.

Great site with excellent utilities and lawn service. Staff did a wonderful job cleaning up tree limbs after two severe storms. We'll certainly return next year.

Nice level parking space with all hookups. Could not use sewer hookup because it was too far forward from the hookup on the RV.

Everything is fine, except the fishing. Very few people are catching fish at the River Pond. The fish feeders are not working this year.
