Fantastic place to camp. Site C117 was easy to back into, very spacious and shaded. Grass was freshly cut. Hiking paths are absolutely wonderful! Paved parking is wide and level. Concrete patio is large and so convenient. Camp hosts were very helpful and the campsites are impeccably maintained. Bathhouse was clean. Verizon excellent. You cannot go wrong staying here. It is a very popular place.

Overnight stay. Nice and quite. Bathrooms and Showers were open. Yellow light in bathroom made difficult to see, not sure of the reason maybe dark sky area.

We have stayed in A-Low and B-Low locations. A-Low has a lot more space but it does not have sewer hookups. B-Low is a little tighter but has full hookups. The facilities are always clean and well maintained. There is a walking trail that is about 2.5 miles around if you take the long way. Very peaceful and relaxing place to stay.

#139 Nice level site, Excellent morning shade. Wonderful camp ground.

We love the Melbourne Park outlet. We drive 380 miles from Western Kansas to spend two weeks there. The scenery is beautiful and the facilities are top-notch.

Melvern outlet is the perfect setting for RV camping. All sites in the B and C campgrounds have full hookups with nice views of fields, woods and the outlet lake. Fishing, biking, walking or running the trails, swimming or chilling at the lakeside beach, visiting nearby historic towns are some of the activities this campground offers. The environment is friendly and welcoming.
@CharlesM934555 · Camped on Oct 5, 2025 at Campsite #127
Weather was great, and having full hookups is nice.

our campsite was shady. bathrooms clean as always.
@RebeccaC264620 · Camped on Sep 28, 2025 at Campsite #66
Beautiful, clean, peaceful are the first 3 descriptions that come to mind. I came into the park on a Sunday afternoon expecting to see left over trash and "end of a weekend" kind of vibe from staff. NOT what I experienced! Super helpful gate greaters went out of their way to help me figure out where I needed to park & helped me figure out how to get an annual pass too. I saw staff driving through checking on eveyone several times - without being invasive, just kind and friendly. The entire park was immaculate. I was so impressed I wandered around shooting a video that I will post on my YT soon. I will be BACK to enjoy the park, not just passing through on business.

Melvern Lake Outlet Park C-Loop spots are the best you can expect when camping, which is why they are consistently full. Double-wide, shaded spots near the water with full hook-ups including 50-amp service, water, and sewer can't be beat. Lots of bicycle or hiking paths, access to fishing, and there's a whole big lake above the dam for fishing and boating with a marina. Bathrooms in B and C Loops also have laundry machines available.
@AliceH1918246 · Camped on Sep 28, 2025 at Campsite #21
We had good weather and good fishing very pleased with our site and hope to reserve again in the spring
@MichaelC616917 · Camped on Sep 21, 2025 at Campsite #1
Campground is always spotless and well kept.

@CurtJF6BA32698 · Camped on Sep 18, 2025 at Campsite #25
Very nice spacious camp lots , clean . All campers (including kids) are very nice and polite
@RandallM797C78 · Camped on Sep 16, 2025 at Campsite #1
Gorgeous view campground!
@DonG3842679 · Camped on Sep 12, 2025 at Campsite #108
Stayed in loop B. Good amount of shade, but several trees have died and need removed. Lot was level. Utilities provided all work as expected.
@JoyceR4908726 · Camped on Sep 12, 2025 at Campsite #141
We tent camped at the outlet area with our daughter's family for the weekend. Grandpa took the 3 grandkids bait fishing in the afternoon and the two older kids caught perch, but the younger one didn't have any luck. So Grandpa said he would get the first try at catfish that night. He did! Fred the Fisherman (Grandpa) helped hold the pole as his 8-year-old grandson reeled in a 19 lb. 1 oz. channel. His older brother and dad netted the fish. Grandpa was so proud he had tears in his eyes. After pictures, they released the fish so someone else could catch it.

This was the best COE campground we have stayed in. The sites are huge and so level we didn't unhook from truck. The sites we saw were more than enough room for the longest RVS. We were there for only one night, but I would definitely stay again.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
