Outflow Camping

No complaints, it was better than I expected.

The park is kept clean, showers, restrooms
A lot to do fishing, biking and eating all close by
Great experience.

Love this area. It has many activities for everyone.

This is a nice "full" hookup site, large, at the end of the Spruce loop of the campground.

However, there are significant electrical issues with this specific site. On a hot weekend July day, the 20A breaker kept tripping, at a measured 107V-111VAC., with roughly a 15A load on the breaker.

Though advertised (on the Recreation.gov App on an Apple iPhone) as a 30A site, the pedestal only includes a 20A outlet with a GFCI-protected breaker.

I intentionally limited our current draw to less than 15A by turning off all RV power center breakers except for the air conditioner and refrigerator. After roughly 15 minutes of use, the 20A breaker tripped. I often run in this same fashion while plugged in at the driveway at my home, and measure the power draw of individual circuits and appliances. (I just tested this again: less than 15A current at 114VAC with only the air conditioner and refrigerator running).

Many thanks to Ranger Shae in moving us to a backup site to have power during this warm and humid July stay.

I highly recommend electrical maintenance on this pedestal, to include electrical load testing on that 20A outlet and breaker/ At a minimum, replace the breaker and perhaps outlet. Ideally, ACOE should repair and maintain the wiring to and in that pedestal to support 30A service.

Our usual site for years now that was updated last year which makes more enjoyable now.

Level sites with a few trees here and there. Able to use Starlink and Consumer Cellular for internet, but no T-Mobile for our hotspot. Electric hookup was great. Potable water was available but not convenient. Very good dump site. Entry from the south on roads was a bit of a challenge. North entry and exit on roads was easier. Great campground for fishing. We visited the Flight 93 Memorial about 45 minutes away.

The Jones Pavilion had a lot of bird droppings near table where the electric was located, one of our classmates had to go get a bucket of water, broom to clean up the area. The rest of pavilion was decent, that was our only complaint regarding the pavilion. We were able to enjoy our day.

nice, clean and quiet campground with lots to do in the area

Great place to stay when it’s hot because the outflow mist cools everything down. This is a great, clean campground.

Clean and quiet campground that’s close to the boat launch. Facilities are always clean and camp sites are well kept.
