Outlet Campground has always been one of our favorites. Denny the camp host was as alway fabulous. Campsite was clean and you could see she had just blown it. The bathrooms were always swept and for vault the smell wasn’t not bad. You could alway tell that they had been kept up and cleaned.

The facilities at Outlet Campground are excellent. Our camp host Denny was so friendly and kept all the ground very clean and in great shape. The host really makes a difference in the camping experience and Denny is the best!

Camp host was very accommodating and empathetic. Tough Job. Be nice if families did not "take over" the beach and water access with tents and toys overnight. Many time they did not even use these spaces for days. No one else was able to use them because of this.
