Camping at Outflow Campgrounds is Great. The bathrooms are always clean. The showers are very nice and the campgrounds are kept up. I have gone to other campgrounds that don't compare to Outflow. During the summer months, it is warm during the day and relatively cool at night, which means you don't have to use your AC all the time. There are plenty of places to eat, and the food is good.

Beautiful little campground. Weather was a bit rough to start but it cleared up by the weekend and enjoyed the natural beauty. I was very glad the campsites were large and easy to back into, The 110 didn't work, but I had an adaptor for 30v and that worked great. The shower building was a bit on the cold side, but the shower water was wonderfully hot. Showers were all nice and clean and always had TP in the stalls. Will consider for the future.

Impressed by the dam outflow and the roar it makes. I camped there to charge Tesla in a 50 amp spot. Worked just fine.

High water and noise was coming from the dam but I knew before I got there, no cell service but I knew that too. We love this campground especially for bike riding the 10 miles on the GAP trail to Ohiopyle. A very few sites have full hookup, most just have electricity but that is the way we like it. The hosts were great and kept the campsites very clean and the grass mowed.

The hiker and biker section is not well defined and can get crowded. There wasn’t a clear check-in process, and I wasn’t sure who to show my reservation to. Know that if you camp here, there is only a shared campfire area and no designated tent areas.

Of all the campgrounds that I've been to Ouflow is by far my favorite. Bathrooms always clean nice showers. The campsites are great and the grounds are kept up very nicely.
