We love coming to the Outlet at Melvern lake. Have made so many friends through out the years. Itβs always so so fun. Wish there was more full hookups but we will survive

NO HOT WATER IN SHOWER HOUSES!!!
Other than that, our stay was pleasant enough. The pads are getting old and weren't super level, so that's good to know. Do be careful when picking your spot. The pull-through spots are multi-stay spots (3-4 campers) and it would be very easy to get stuck between strangers with no where to park your truck and/or no way to leave when on your schedule if the spot in front of you is taken. They don't feel worth the trouble unless you are arriving as a group with multiple campers.
Did I mention we tried 4 different shower houses at various times throughout the day over 5 days and NONE OF THEM HAVE HOT WATER? To that effect, none of them had lukewarm water. I expected more from a COE campground.
