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 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.

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.
