The campground is beautiful and we loved it, but with the outlet beach closed and the other beach so very muddy we couldn't take our 3 year old swimming. Will definitely be back when the beach is open!!

Site 148 was vacant and available when we arrived - OK. Asphalt had some damage and had a sizeable cooking grease spot. The picnic table also had a grease stain and someone had burned a hole in one end. Too bad RVers abused the site. We enjoyed the quiet space and the rest rooms. Janitorial service was not as good as in prior years.Would be nice if a WIFI was available.

Wonderful. Grass was freshly mowed.
@HenryD2766117 · Camped on Jun 29, 2025 at Campsite #79
Nice campsite although slightly unlevel. One wheel on the rv was off the ground. Also during my stay the electricity went off which probably could not be helped but no came around to inform us how long it would be off when it was nearly 100 degrees outside.

Great site. Pull-thru was so nice and the campsites are a fair distance apart.
@JoeR4253294 · Camped on Jun 27, 2025 at Campsite #140
Love this site! Clean, neat, well-maintained.
@VernonC517C04D · Camped on Jun 27, 2025 at Campsite #145
The Outlet at Melvren is one of our favorite places to camp. We were over in the C loop and loved the area. We met wonderful campers. The area was quiet evan with all the kids and dogs (we have 2 dogs). We will be making more trips to Melvren.

It was a relatively busy weekend. The powergrid did not handle the load very well. We had our breaker blow several times.

Julie & I love melvern lake outlet campground. The park is well kept, clean, the walking trails are well maintained & the swimmong beach is awesome. We stay there several times per season.
@GeraldN6627439 · Camped on Jun 16, 2025 at Campsite #73
Most everything was great for our trip there, it would be nice if there was an area to sit for getting dressed somewhere between the sinks and the toilet for after taking a shower. Reason I say this it was very hot inside the shower stall after taking a shower.
@RICKJ1311115 · Camped on Jun 15, 2025 at Campsite #4
Love the A. Lo campsites.Plenty of space between sites and lots of shade when you pick the right spot.
@JohnH2789214 · Camped on Jun 15, 2025 at Campsite #121
Nice clean area, quiet, nice walking trails and close to a couple of small towns. We try to go there every year with several other couples.

@LeeL2710813 · Camped on Jun 11, 2025 at Campsite #83
Lots are big, lots of trees, theres a beautiful hidden scout reserve at the end of the road with a nice park. Clean bathrooms, very friendly and knowledgeable attendant ( camp host) . We stayed on our way to Iowa then again on our way back. Had 2 grands with us and felt very safe.
@MarkD7704923 · Camped on Jun 11, 2025 at Campsite #150
Excellent camp site. Great shade. Very clean facilities. Even caught more fish than usual. Will most definitely return. Only problem is it is so popular, it is difficult to get reservations.
@mikel7503834 · Camped on Jun 10, 2025 at Campsite #95
A great place to walk and bike. Camp host very friendly and helpful
@GailL7309081 · Camped on Jun 9, 2025 at Campsite #77

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.
