The campground is a great location along the river, and just under the lake. Biking nearby is unlimited on different trails. The restrooms were clean and the host were very helpful.

The Outflow Campground at Confluence is a perfect camping spot for those who would like to enjoy hiking or cycling on the Great Allegheny Passage bike trail.

This was our second stay at this campground. We love the area. We typically bike the GAP trail. The facilities are always clean and the showers are nice and hot. We love being able to walk to the Outflow Soft Freeze and the Lucky Dog Cafe. Mitch’s Fuel and Food was a short walk away. This trip the Outflow wasn’t being used but last time the sound provided a nice background noise to fall asleep to. We wish the phone charging table near the park would have worked this stay. That was another neat feature we enjoyed during our last visit. We will definitely be back!

Very well tended campground and facilities, helpful host, and great location for enjoying Ohiopyle State Park and Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Falling Water home. Lots of bicyclists in the area, and it includes a camping spot for those who cycle in. Get water from spigot on the side of the unattended park entrance building.

Stayed in spot 28. Perfect for a 37 foot fifth wheel. Restrooms and showers were clean, host was friendly and campground was beautifully kept. Will definitely return. If coming from Uniontown on 40, you’re in for a ride. Serious hills and such that will put your tow rig to the test; make sure your brakes are in top-top shape.

Our experience here was a bit effected by the rain that fell during all three days we were there. Campground is well-kept, but a bit cramped. It's also shoe-horned between the water and a commercial campground next door. Not sure we will return.

Tons of space for tent camping. You have to walk a ways for bathroom, showers and electric, but for $16 a night that's not a problem.
