Check in is chaotic but the place is nice.

I love this area bc you have access to a river, a lake and a paved bike trail. The only drawback is the loud generators used by the campers next to me. Next time, I'll pick a spot in the section that has electric, even though I have enough solar that I don't need it. Hot showers were also a great perk.

High praise for this campground! You are adjacent to the GAP bike trail which is fabulous. Peaceful and beautiful. Convenient to Falling Water.

Campsite was great. Fishing was great. Only issue was not being allowed to place our tent on the grass. Gravel isn't the best bedding.

We kayak and bike frequently in the area surrounding Outflow Campground. We stayed there several times between April and October. The campground consistently is clean and quiet. Usually, guests are considerate. The campground hosts are consistently cheerful, helpful, and they conscientiously maintain campsites between guest arrivals. We look forward to frequent future visits to Outflow CG.

Friendly people. Nice areas for tent campers amongst the RV campers. It was quiet at night and there is potable water and clean bathrooms for through-bikers on the Great Allegheny Passage trail. We had a flat and there is a cute town of Confluence nearby with a well-equipped bike shop. Rode into town to get pizza at night. Great camping spot for bike-packers on the GAP!

Hiker/biker campsite offered picnic tables, grass for tent set up, posts to hang food, clean bathrooms and showers. Also a place to walk to view the River. There are groceries in town with short bike ride.
