The utilities at the Outlet Melvern campground are top notch. The availability of full hook ups keep us coming back! But the openness and well maintained campground is also a huge benefit at this campground. Outlet Melvern is a gem within the COE system. Bravo to the COE at Outlet Melvern

We'd been in A and C loop previously and really like this campground; however, they were full and we wanted to camp so we took what we thought would be a decent site in B loop, #88. Nope! Everything in B loop is cramped and sites are on top of each other. Love the other two loops but will never camp in B loop again.

We stayed in site #130 in the C-loop. It was a great site. We had couple of days of rainy and windy weather, but we didn't mind. We enjoy our time away from home.

This is our second time visiting this park. It’s absolutely a beautiful setting around a small lake which has a trail that completely surrounds it and an additional small hiking trail through the woods. I believe most of the spaces are paved, all are well laid out and while we didn’t use the shower rooms we did check them out and they were spotless. We travel in a class A pusher with a toad. They have pull thru and back-in site, some with trees and some without. Most sites if not all have a great view of the lake and many are right on it, fishing is allowed. Not all sites have full hookup but I believe they all have 30 & 50 amp service with water. Should our travels ever take us within 100 miles of this park I’m certain will plan to stay again for a few nights.
