What Guests Are Saying
Outflow Camping is a well-maintained and clean campground located next to the river, offering large, flat sites and easy access to the Great Allegheny Passage bike trail, making it ideal for biking and fishing enthusiasts. Guests appreciate the friendly and helpful staff, clean facilities, and the scenic surroundings, which include nearby attractions like Fallingwater and Ohiopyle. While some campers noted issues with gravel tent pads and the need for advanced reservations, the overall experience is positive, with many expressing a desire to return.

It's a great place to camp right by the bike trail.

So much to see & do in the surrounding area: biking, hiking, trout fishing, etc. The camp sites themselves lack shade & privacy. The current camp hosts are wonderful.

This was our 1st time at OCG and enjoyed ourselves. Trout fishing was good, once you learned the fishing hole, and CG is well maintained. Only downside is that sites are alittle close together, but all neighbors were very nice. We'll be back!

Yough river - water level should be deeper
GAP - Trail maintenance/mowing could be better.
