We love this campground! It’s within walking distance of great places to eat like The Lucky Dog Cafe, Mitch’s Fuel and Food and the Outflow Soft Freeze. The site are level and not right on top of one another. They have clean bathrooms with hot showers. Our kids loved the playground too! It’s also close to the GAP bike trail and the Yough Lake. When the outflow is flowing, it provides great white noise to sleep to also. We love this campground and plan to return again!

I really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful campground. Initially I had to shift my reservation due to a problem with the water system at the campground, but the rangers were very friendly and communicated regularily on the repair process. This campground is meticulously maintained, and the camp hosts was extremely friendly helpful and attentive to the campers. If you love biking and/or kayaling, this place is for you. Located right on the GAP trail, tou can cycle yo your hearts content along the Casselman and Youghiogheny rivers. Also a launch reamp right in the campground lets you canoe kayak or raft to either Ramcat, or Ohiopyle on the gorgeous Youghiogheny river. The quaint town of Confluence is located within walking or biking distance from the campground. Just on the other side of the Dam is Youghiogheny River Lake where tou can launch you boat and go all the way to Maryland, or enjoy a cool swim at the sandy swimming beach. We camped at Outflow Camping in a Motorhome.

Nice campgrounds, sizable lots and mellow folks. Walk a few yards to the Youghegeny river and fish, drive around, up and across the damn for swimming or stop in at the icecream shop just around the corner from everything from a sundae to chicken fingers or burgers. Don't forget to drive over to Ohiopyle to see the cascading water or book a rafting trip then make sure to see fallingwaters.org, a Frank Lloyd Wright designed house. I you can handle it make sure to spend some time at the flight 83 memorial. Take tissues!
Never knew PA was so beautiful!

Nice park but camping sites are close together and to tight. No water on site so if you stay long enough you have to move your rig to get water or to dump. Overall it was ok, there is bike riding and fishing. The little town is very interesting with lots of history.

This is a very pleasant, well maintained campground. Most of the tent sites are large enough to accommodate two vehicles and two tents. It usually is occupied to capacity on Friday and Saturday evenings, with fewer users on Sunday through Thursday. Campers generally are considerate.
