Lots of play options for kids, so great for families. On the down side, my campsite is so unlevel that I'd need about 60 leveling blocks to properly set up the camper. Didn't have that many, so sitting here in a very poor spot. The mosquito breeding ground behind the camper isn't improving my mood. That said, if we had a different spot that wasn't so far off level I wouldn't mind coming back. Next time I'll know to ask for something in a different location. First time here, so I didn't know. But I was told when I booked that the sites were pretty level. Not true, at least not true of mine.

Nice campground. Staff were extremely friendly. Well-kept grounds with great amenities. WiFi was not as good as we would have liked, but everything else was good. Sites were nice sized and level. Would definitely recommend this campground to others.

Cute little campground. They have a pool, pickle ball court, and a cute little playground for kids. They also have a nice bathhouse and laundry area. The owner, Mona, is absolutely amazing. Friendly staff and great campground to stay at.

Outpost RV and Campground is a big rig friendly RV park. We stayed in a 45' 5th wheel for a month and had no issues navigating the park. The owner and staff members were friendly and had many suggestions on things to do and see in the area. We had an issue with our power pedestal, and the staff resolved the problem immediately. The sites are reasonably level and include a fire pit and picnic table with a mix of back-in and pull-through sites. The sites range in length, so mention your rig size when making a reservation. Most all sites have ample room from side to side as well. The water has good pressure but a low flow rate. The campground is connected to city water, and the water quality is excellent. There is a small fenced-in dog park, pool, and playground area. In addition, there are plenty of places to walk your four-legged friends. The restrooms and laundry facility are a little dated but were always clean and well stocked. The park enforces quiet times and is very quiet. The only downside is there is not a dog leash policy, so some campers allow their four-legged friends to roam out of their designated areas. The park is located near some fantastic hiking trails and a few small towns. This location has good cell service. We used an amplified antenna, and the following speeds were observed. AT&T 10 Mbps down, 5 Mbps up. T-Mobile was 9 Mbps down, 5 Mbps up, and Verizon was 100+ Mbps down and 50 Mbps up. If this review was helpful, please give it a thumbs up. Thanks
