Melvern Outlet is a very well kept park with nice RV sites. Beautiful water views and shade. The volunteers who we have met here, Curtis and Brenda, Bruce and Dorothy and Marty are all very friendly and accommodating. They go out of their way to make the Outlet the best camping area around.

Nice campground with sites with water views. We had a large campsite with plenty of room to park the truck after we unhitched from the rv. Nice shade with a water view. We enjoyed walking the trails.

We pulled in the C loop to see what available site we wanted to stay in we decided on 140 we went online and paid for our site and backed our motor home in and got hooked up and was about all set up when a guy in a golf cart pulled up and rudely asked me ( are you going to check in ) we argued back and forth about it I told him when we stayed in the spring I didn’t check in he’s said that’s a lie then his hands up and drove off leaving us to unhook load everything up drive the motor home back up to the gate to check in his excuse for the whole situation was there is a new ranger at the park and she is cracking down on the no shows when we got back to our site all of our neighbors were curious about us leaving and coming back and amazingly enough none of them had checked in either as we hadn’t in the spring
