Stayed 5 days in C Loop 115, spot was well shaded and large.

This is one of the nicest Corp campgrounds we have been to. Grounds are immaculate. They have very nice well maintained walking & biking trails. I appreciated the laundry room available in each camp loop. Laundry room was very nice and clean. Did not use bathroom facilities but I'm sure they were just as clean. We will definitely be back when we are in the area.

Weather was much cooler than a typical August making the stay super. The space was shaded as well. It is generally level and clean. Met some fellow campers in adjoining spaces that further enhanced our stay. We elected to stay 2 additional days.

The camp host do a great job of maintaining this park. One of the best values for a camp site!

Nice large, shady spots, campground was quiet and peaceful, showerhouse/toilets were fine.
@WilliamW688008 · Camped on Jul 31, 2025 at Campsite #103
Fantastic campground. Very nice level sites. The best bathrooms we have been in with great hot showers. Beautiful views. We will be coming back again and again!

One of the best parks I have camped at. Great shade, nice trails, and fantastic scenery. Bathrooms were clean with plenty of warm water. I recommend it to anyone looking for a great camping experience.

We were in C-Loop, 141, next to the Bathhouse. The campgrounds were neat and clean, and freshly mowed. The fishing dock was closed fir some reason and the swim area was closed due to algae blooms. We always enjoy eating pizza at Buzzards Pizza in Lyndon (14 miles from Melvern Lake) on our way to Melvern. The pizza is great! We enjoy going to the truckstop at BETO Junction (Burlingame, Emporia, Topeka, Ottawa) for breakfast our last day out at the lake before we head home. Because it was almost 100 degrees, we spent one day at the Waterpark in Emporia about 30 miles down Hwy 35.

Beautiful park
@MichelleB91734 · Camped on Jul 23, 2025 at Campsite #150
It was really hot so we took the wave runner out and other than that we didnt do much but relax.
@MichaelH990269 · Camped on Jul 22, 2025 at Campsite #75
Pretty much like camping in a parking lot.
@CurtJF6BA32698 · Camped on Jul 22, 2025 at Campsite #52
Very nice clean campground, nice open and good space in between campers. Friendly staff. Would recommend and have to others to visit
@GaryR1641966 · Camped on Jul 21, 2025 at Campsite #117
Great little park. Level camp site. Clean bathrooms with Laundry.park host friendly and constantly cleaning fire pits after a check out.
@AmandaF1656528 · Camped on Jul 20, 2025 at Campsite #73
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!!

Always clean and friendly
@RoyB6492035 · Camped on Jun 29, 2025 at Campsite #148
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.
@AliceD5CFAE55C · Camped on Jun 29, 2025 at Campsite #137
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.
@GaryJ4132252 · Camped on Jun 27, 2025 at Campsite #43
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.

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.
