The Outflow Recreation Area offers a peaceful and quiet camping experience, with friendly hosts and well-maintained campsites. Visitors appreciate the beautiful scenery and spacious tent sites, especially during week-long stays. However, some facilities, particularly the restrooms and showers, need significant improvements, and the access road has potholes that could be better maintained.

The lot was not grassy and very hard to put up tent. The plus was it was very quiet. For a holiday weekend there was only a few campers. Bathrooms were not perfect but had hot water 0problem was ventilation and one bathroom door would not close. The town nearby was adorable and had amenities. No one checked us in or was there to oversee. Anyone could have come in and stayed for free.

As a tent camper I heard highway noise. The WARM shower/toilet facilities were wonderful (if not the cleanest). Park Rangers were attentive. Nice little campground.

There were only 2 tents and myself and dog in the area the night that I was there. It was peaceful and quiet.

Nice quiet campground! Bathrooms were fairly clean but 2 of the 4 showers didn't work. Nice playground and close to a bigger one too!

The only negative during our stay is the electric that they are working on putting it was not connected yet. They were hoping to have it connected by end of July but as of end of August it's still not connected. Hoping they have it completed by next year and if so will definitely plan a visit there again next year. Overall very nice job by the guys in making the new sites.

Was very disappointed we had to leave a day early because someone complained about our generator running. And the campground allows generators being there is no electric hookup. Paid for three days and stayed for 2. We was not staying there another day it was so hot and couldn’t run our air conditioner because someone had to complain about our generator.

Camp site and area was clean and well maintained. We were the only ones there so it was quiet.
