We really enjoy staying at the campground. We like that we can leave our belonging like chairs and stuff out and it doesn't get messed with. We like the staff that help take care of the campground. We stay several times a year.

Really enjoy staying at Outlet (Melvern). The sites are fairly level, water pressure is good and cellular signal is 4-5 bars (Verizon). The beautiful fall weather made this an even better stay, with the fabulous sunsets on the lake and warm, comfortable days and cool, crisp nights (great for a campfire!).

We had a nice site, very level. Nearest sites were not on top of us. The park was fully booked the weekend we were there but the loop we were in was pretty quiet.
