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.

This is a pure gem and a very beautiful place, the camp host was especially helpful when our fur baby got sick. I highly recommend this campground for everyone even the kids will have a ball.

Please get some wifi. There is no cell phone service at Outflow.
I see no reason to require reservations in advance for bicycle tourists. Many places have a hiker-biker area where you can just show up. When bike touring, my schedule often changes due to weather, repairs, and unforseen circumstances.
