We stayed in the Outlet Area Camp Grounds of Blue Mountain Lake from March 18-22 2026. We had site 14. This site was set up backwards and it was truly a double site they booked as 2 separate singles so the neighbors were very very close. This site was also backwards for our camper. The door was right against the neighbors vehicles and the wrong side for our picnic table and fire pit. It was very peaceful during the week but when others showed up for the weekend it got busy and loud. Phone signal was spotty for AT&T.

I am in absolute love with place. First time me and the family got to get together in a while and we picked here. So glad that we did beautiful views and super friendly workers. The kids had an absolute blast fishing and swimming and we were so close to the play ground and the spillway that it was easy to keep all the kids busy and having fun. We did have to drive a little ways to go swimming but it was well worth it because they have a beautiful beach area for the family
