Great location to explore Ohiopyle and the Great Allegany Passage bike trail. Typical gravel parking space for the camper van. Very clean and quiet. We could hear the dam water and see the stars very well. The dam water release odor remined me of the salt water marshes along the ocean, pungent.

Pads were designed for non-tenters. You can hardly pound stakes in and if you do get them in the ground, it's difficult to extract them.

Nice campground, large and level spots. I used it as a base camp for filming nature videos.
You can see some video of the campground and the surrounding areas in my Vlog.

Kind and informative host, thank you! Also, all or most of the LED lights that can be distracting to tent campers were turned off during sleeping hours. Not sure if that's a policy, happenstance, or otherwise, but it's appreciated! Facilities were adequate and clean.

I have never seen such dedication from the host of Outflow. They were constantly cleaning the sites, road ways, and super helpful with guest and lost tourists. We will be back.

Very well kept, small campground with great camp host. Bathrooms were clean and showers were nice and warm. Many things to do in the area — several good hiking trails and the bike trail was incredible. We stayed for a week and would love to stay longer the next time.

No wifi or internet available. Had to drive in town and park near library to send texts and make phone calls. This was a stopover on the way to Niagara Falls so all in all it was just okay.
