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.

We absolutely loved it here. It’s a really nice quiet area. We had a decent size site, the bathrooms were fairly well kept, and there were plenty of things to do. We definitely look forward to come back here again to explore the area more!

Very nice campsite, close to the river and to town. We were able to see the synchronous fireflies at the far end of the campgrounds. They put on a spectacular show!

The water was not turned on. The bathrooms were locked. Mud and water everywhere.

The area this campground is located is gorgeous! However the sites are very small and very close together. We found the map of the campground somewhat difficult to imagine along with the pictures of the camp layout. We stayed at a site further to the back but from the picture you could not tell there were about 8 sites behind you with only a footbridge access. Had there been more ppl camping this would not have been an enjoyable camping experience. As everyone would have been parking basically in front of your tent. A little more elbow room would be nice. Also only one bathroom building so could be a hike for some. This campground would not be my first choice if I were to go again but definitely gorgeous enough surroundings to make a compelling reason to go again

It's a very peaceful place to visit, lots of things to do and not to do. It's quiet, well maintained, firewood service is provided in evening and morning if you suggest it by a local guy. The only downside is restrooms need to be cleaned, everyday. Locals are great and friendly.

We love camping there, except people going to the outflow fly on that road and people aren’t even camping there come from who knows where to shower so this time we camped we actually had to wait before we could get a shower.
