The only thing I would have negative to say was we did not see a camp host come around one time our entire stay. But the park was beautiful and well keeped. this was our second trip and we will be back next year.

park and restrooms clean

Great scenery. I believe Dam Site would be 5 stars if at least part of the sites was full hook up capability (sewer).
@MarkDe408E0A44 · Camped on Jun 15, 2025 at Campsite #51
Always enjoy camping at Damsite.

Amazing spot, enjoyed every second of my visit
@AshleyF6916615 · Camped on May 30, 2025 at Campsite #65
Spot 64 is so great! Perfect access to the water, extra space between the main side of your camper and the next spot (not all spots have this perk and are close the back side of the camper next to them), full afternoon shade, beautiful view. It's our favorite!

Very disappointed in the hosts at Dam Site. No communication about closed bathrooms upon arrival. Letting campers coming in after midnight. Tents are grass area. Dogs being allowed to be tied out and barking at unattended camp sites. Problems with water and not being told when it was fixed. We love to camp at Dam Site and want to see it taken care of. Thank you

Very disappointed to hear the park will not have camp hosts next year. Also wish the grass was cut all the way to the water.

The campsite was very clean and campground well maintained. The bathroom and showers were clean although a bit dated. We enjoy the lake access. We did find campsite was contaminated with ants, but we figured its difficult to control without affecting the environment. Camp host(s) are very friendly and knowledgeable.

One of the best spots I've had. We'll definitely be trying for this site again.
@MaryK8503295 · Camped on May 22, 2025 at Campsite #37
Campsite was clean and well taken care of. Shower house remained clean as well. Loved our site on the water. Campground is in a good location with a few restaurant choices near by as well as a couple DGs.

We had a great time around the campfire when it wasn't raining.

For the most part, we enjoyed our stay here. We used to live a mile from here and moved to Florida and we come back yearly to enjoy the Lucas Oil Races over Memorial Day. The only reason for not giving an excellent review is that we have a new rv with a residential refrigerator. While on shore power at two different sites at the CoE Damsite campground, our refrigerator would not cool properly but would while using the on-board generator, other campground shore power or the inverter while traveling. There must be a problem with the electricity in the park. The hosts were accommodating and the bathrooms were always clean. Be sure to go to Memaw's which is within walking distance for a good meal and a hot fudge sundae!

We always enjoy camping at Damsite. It is a beautiful location and a great place to enjoy a leisurely day of kayaking.
@LarryB8653126 · Camped on May 12, 2025 at Campsite #61
We had a great stay at the campground
@JaniceG6CF57F7 · Camped on May 11, 2025 at Campsite #60
Stayed in site #60 great pull thru site along the water with access to the lake right at your site. The views were great. The down side is the mosquitoes but a fan kept them away most of the time.
@LesW98E90261D5 · Camped on May 11, 2025 at Campsite #34
The camp Hosts are great folks, very knowledgeable. Nice quiet campground during the week.

For those not familiar, Melvern Outlet Park has three camping loops with different services at each. I stayed in B-Loop, which has full hook-ups and 50-amp electrical. The downside to this loop is that all the sites are closer to neighboring sites, and none have fire rings. Parking space, even for a tow rig could be considered limited, and it gets challenging if you have friends stop by. There is parking available, but it comes with a walk unless they chance parking in the grass, which is frowned upon. Most sites in this loop have some shade during parts of the day. The amenities at Outlet Park are great. Group camping is available (including a group pavilion), fishing, swimming, bike/walking paths, and a couple playgrounds.

@DonnaL8792277 · Camped on Sep 12, 2024 at Campsite #49
As always, our stay at Damsite was the best. I wish there was a way to enforce people cleaning up after their pets.
@RobynP949F4A41 · Camped on Sep 12, 2024 at Campsite #28

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.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
