Summary

Outflow Camping offers a beautiful, well-maintained campground with friendly hosts and clean facilities, making it a preferred choice for nature lovers and cyclists alike. Guests appreciate the scenic location near the bike trail and river, as well as the range of recreational activities available in the area. While some minor issues were mentioned, such as noise disturbances and proximity of campsites, the overall experience is positive, with many guests planning to return.
Electrical service on site 55 has been screwed up for several years. This year the service was downsized to a 20 amp breaker. Can't run a air conditioner and make a pot of coffee without tripping the breaker. Needs attention!!!!!
The entire park was closed because of the lack of potable water. The restrooms are very dated and the number of toilets is too small for the number of tent campers.I don't know if we need to go back. That being said, the camp host was great, the site for our trailer was neat and tidy, and its a convenient location for visiting the Borough of Confluence and Fort Necessity or walking/biking the trail. In addition, close to the campground are lots of access points to the river and dam area.
This is a very pleasant, well maintained campground. Most of the tent sites are large enough to accommodate two vehicles and two tents. It usually is occupied to capacity on Friday and Saturday evenings, with fewer users on Sunday through Thursday. Campers generally are considerate.
Nice park but camping sites are close together and to tight. No water on site so if you stay long enough you have to move your rig to get water or to dump. Overall it was ok, there is bike riding and fishing. The little town is very interesting with lots of history.
I really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful campground. Initially I had to shift my reservation due to a problem with the water system at the campground, but the rangers were very friendly and communicated regularily on the repair process. This campground is meticulously maintained, and the camp hosts was extremely friendly helpful and attentive to the campers. If you love biking and/or kayaling, this place is for you. Located right on the GAP trail, tou can cycle yo your hearts content along the Casselman and Youghiogheny rivers. Also a launch reamp right in the campground lets you canoe kayak or raft to either Ramcat, or Ohiopyle on the gorgeous Youghiogheny river. The quaint town of Confluence is located within walking or biking distance from the campground. Just on the other side of the Dam is Youghiogheny River Lake where tou can launch you boat and go all the way to Maryland, or enjoy a cool swim at the sandy swimming beach. We camped at Outflow Camping in a Motorhome.
Nice campgrounds, sizable lots and mellow folks. Walk a few yards to the Youghegeny river and fish, drive around, up and across the damn for swimming or stop in at the icecream shop just around the corner from everything from a sundae to chicken fingers or burgers. Don't forget to drive over to Ohiopyle to see the cascading water or book a rafting trip then make sure to see fallingwaters.org, a Frank Lloyd Wright designed house. I you can handle it make sure to spend some time at the flight 83 memorial. Take tissues!
Never knew PA was so beautiful!
