Always a great time! Camp hosts are very nice, easy to talk to, and always available. The group camping site is awesome with its own water and power outlet located just on the outside of the huge picnic area. Plenty of picnic tables, nice grassy areas and trees to put tents under to protect from the sun. Beautiful area to camp, plenty to do and places to eat during season. Perfect place to relax and camp.

The Outrflow campground is one of the nicest areas to stay while visiting Confluence PA, clean bathrooms and showers are great hot water!!
Eating facilities are close and the bike trails are the best, people are very friendly, and very helpful when asking for information.

A pleasant, quiet campground. The sites are a little too close with not enough privacy, but they are clean and well maintained. The grounds are spacious, shaded, relaxing. Right on the GAP bike trail.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Quiet and peaceful. Level gravel site with a good amount of space. Close proximity to Flight 93 National Memorial, Falling Waters and Kentuck Know-Frank Lloyd Wright designed properties. Not much else to do though, restaurants closed, so come prepared with food!! There is a well stocked market.

The hosts of the camp were great! Terry and Linda were very friendly and kept the grounds and bathrooms clean everyday! Site 32 is a good choice… Kinda private. The only downside was the person directly behind us in Wendy World let her dog bark constantly for a day! Dined at the Rivers Edge,Lucky Dog and Mitch’s… highly recommend all.
