The Outflow is such a nice campground. We have been coming for years. The spots are easy to reserve with plenty to choose from. We fly fish and bike so access to The Yough and bike trail is very convenient.

This is our second year in a row here, specifically site 15. Beautiful grounds and such friendly people. Would be a biker’s dream spot. Bathroom was always clean. Plan to go up top the dam and eat at The River’s Edge Cafe.

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.
