I enjoyed a clean, comfortable, peaceful stay at Outflow. I had my bicycle and bicycled the GAP trail northwest to Ohiopyle one day an southeast to Meyersdale the other day. It helped tremendously that the weather was absolutely perfect for late October, sunny and in the 70's. Also there was a nice Harvest festival in the town of Confluence. I recommend this campground.

Lots of activities to do nearby. Hiking, biking, fishing, kayak and raft, swimming, boating, and lost of little restaurants with good food and prices. Campground is clean, quite, and good bath house. Campsites are level and easy to get into. The only negative we have is the fire pit rings are too high. It is hard to get pie irons to cook evenly.

Great area, good fishing, rafting available and you will meet some fine people, boating and swimming available. Nice bike trail 11miles to the falls at Ohiopyle state park.

We have been going to the Yough for 50 years. We enjoy the lake for swimming, boating, fishing, etc. It has the clear water that you can see down into. Beautiful lake. Nice small town feeling. This place has not changed since we began coming here. This is our second home.

Very nice campground, which tends to fill on weekends during Summer months.

I don't understand why the camping pads are built so that it is next to impossible to pound tent stakes into the ground.

A very clean quite site and great facilities that are very well maintained. I was biking from Pittsburgh PA to Washington DC and stayed overnight. The sound of the outflow lulled my to a great night's sleep after a long day on my bicycle
