Stayed at site A017, shady morning and late afternoon, real close to restroom/shower house. As always, Outlet park is a great place for walking and bycicling.

We camped with a motorhome in the full hookup area. There was way to many extra cars, trucks, and people at each spot making it feel crowded. The lack of signage made it hard to find spaces in our area.

Our stay was in the first part of September, it was very hot and the Outlet Pond had warnings about blue-green algae. Other than that small inconvenience, the corps of engineers has created a beautiful park that is well laid out with paved roads and plenty of trails for walking and biking. This park is well deserving of 5 a star rating.

C-146 is on the outer edge of outlet park and very quiet. You can see the water but are away 100 yards so the geese are not a problem. It is easy to back into and has full hook ups.
