Park was very clean and camp host was very informative. My husband judged the Barbecue Contest in Osage City so we decided to camp for a few days along with other friends. Very nice park.

The Staff was great and very helpful. Our site was level and Full hook ups which I was surprised as I was unaware of the sewer hookup at site. We had a nice view of the Lake and plenty of green space to walk the dog and enjoy. Our time there was rainy, so we didn't get to fully enjoy our time outside. But we will stay here again as it was an easy off of Hwy 75 - our path we use coming from TX and OK. It would be an easy short trip to for a 7-14 day stay. We didn't use the bathhouse, but it looked clean. The pavillion across from our site was really nice with a big grill and water/ sinks in the area.

Our stay at Melvern Outlet was extremely relaxing. Setting up was quick and easy and our site was perfectly located for our activities (fishing, biking, walking trails). Nearby locations provided opportunities for meaningful day trips.
