Great trip! The grounds only had a few campers so everyone was very spaced out. Not sure I’d want to be here when grounds were full - lots are only 2-3 feet apart. Good facilities that were cleaned and the rangers visited every site to chat.

My first recommendation is that the Confluence Outflow campground remain open through Columbus Day.
Second, more sights should have electricity.
Third, there should be another full hook-up site near the bath house.
Fourth, day use and people fishing should enter through the gate off of Flanigan Rd to cut down on traffic through the camping area. Some vehicles travel a high speed. There are many walkers and bicyclists on that road. Some are small children.

I stayed at the Outflow Campground (in the Biker/Hiker area) while riding the GAP trail. Excellent campground with good showers that were quickly warm with good water pressure. A good restaurant a short walk away was very welcome. The price was great! I would consider camping here with my pop-up trailer as well.

This is a very fine campground in a very nice region with beautiful scenery, many possible activities, and a great location. We enjoyed our camp here and will definitely return in the next season for longer stays. The only niggles we have are: (1) the season here ends too soon - end of first week of October - a great month for camping, (2) every site is provided with a super fireplace and it seems everyone wants a fire 24x7. The smoke is often very heavy and could be a problem for folks with respiratory issues. (3) The campsites are super engineered except for the black water dump pipes - they don't have the usual campground screw-in connection to allow a seamless and reliable connection for your gray/black water dumping. This means you have to hold your dump pipe in the doughnut adapter for any time your are emptying your gray or black water tanks. Not cool. Everything else is over-engineered except for this necessity. I would donate $ to the COE to have this done right. Cellular with AT&T was very good. Two and Three bars but 5G and very fast.
