The campsite was very clean and campground well maintained. The bathroom and showers were clean although a bit dated. We enjoy the lake access. We did find campsite was contaminated with ants, but we figured it’s difficult to control without affecting the environment. Camp host(s) are very friendly and knowledgeable.

Campsite was clean and well taken care of. Shower house remained clean as well. Loved our site on the water. Campground is in a good location with a few restaurant choices near by as well as a couple DGs.

Very disappointed in the hosts at Dam Site. No communication about closed bathrooms upon arrival. Letting campers coming in after midnight. Tents are grass area. Dogs being allowed to be tied out and barking at unattended camp sites. Problems with water and not being told when it was fixed. We love to camp at Dam Site and want to see it taken care of. Thank you

For those not familiar, Melvern Outlet Park has three camping loops with different services at each. I stayed in B-Loop, which has full hook-ups and 50-amp electrical. The downside to this loop is that all the sites are closer to neighboring sites, and none have fire rings. Parking space, even for a tow rig could be considered limited, and it gets challenging if you have friends stop by. There is parking available, but it comes with a walk unless they chance parking in the grass, which is frowned upon. Most sites in this loop have some shade during parts of the day. The amenities at Outlet Park are great. Group camping is available (including a group pavilion), fishing, swimming, bike/walking paths, and a couple playgrounds.

Stayed in site #60 great pull thru site along the water with access to the lake right at your site. The views were great. The down side is the mosquitoes but a fan kept them away most of the time.
