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?

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.

Melvern Lake is a beautiful place to camp. Sites are nicely spaced and several back up to lake. Restrooms have showers too and are spotless. Camped on our way to Iowa and liked it so much we planned our trip back so we could stop there again.
