The campground was very well maintained and being next to the river was enjoyable. Few water sites, I wish there were more. Bathrooms were very clean. Having access to the GAP is such a plus.

We camped here in early May 2023. The grounds had not been mowed so the grass and dandelions were about 6” tall. There is a pretty river right along the edge of the campground but yet the door side of our camper faced away from it, as well as the patio. Why?

Site 42 was large enough to accommodate a 35’ 5th wheel and a long bed truck. Bushes gave a bit of privacy in the outdoor space. It was great to have one of the few full hookup 50 amp sites and would have loved to stay longer if only we had even a bit of cell service. Surfed off free wifi in town, just got a bit frustrating when needing to make calls. Cute little town to visit and a great bike trail.

I almost hesitate to give a great rating since it will only encourage more people to book this gem of a campground. It’s all you want l… great spots, clean, stunning surroundings, and fantastic park rangers and hosts. 5 stars easy.

It is great place to relax, peaceful and quiet. Enjoy the fishing and bike trails that are. We make the Outflow the first place and the last of the season we go when making reservations.

What a great COE campground. The Host was so friendly and helpful. We stayed on site # 6 and then walked the entire site. What a nice place. We found the restrooms and showers very clean and easy access. So glad we chose this little Gem in the woods. Local fishing within walking distance and a bike trail along the river that was the best. Jeepers! Nice place. Sorry if we seem overboard, but compared to other campgrounds this one gets 5 out of 5 Stars on our book.

Sites were way too close to each other. There was no host. The place needs some tender loving care. Claimed full hook ups but there was a spigot 100 feet away.
