This lovely couple couldn’t be more accommodating. We were on our way home and this spot was just a stopover, but it was very easy to find, and there’s lots of shopping and restaurants around. Very level spot, easy in and out with our fifth wheel, and kind, helpful hosts- we’d definitely stay again!

The Outpost Outdoor Resort is a true gem for anyone who loves the outdoors. The location is absolutely stunning — most of the tent sites are right on the water, offering peaceful views and the perfect backdrop for fishing or just relaxing by the shore. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and keeps the campground in great shape, making the entire stay feel comfortable and inviting. If you love fishing, this is definitely the place to be. The water access is incredible, and the atmosphere is calm and refreshing — exactly what you want when you’re trying to escape and unwind. I’ll definitely be back, just hoping they reconsider that guest policy in the future.

The folks at the Outpost were super helpful and friendly. The called ahead to see when we would be checking in and if we needed firewood delivered to our site. Once we arrived they asked if we would rather be on the river instead of in the woods and, since we had no idea of the layout of the place, we said yes. The river camping is the way to go at this place! Great views, lovely sound of the water, and close to everything. It's also very nice that the Outpost just happens to have its own restaurant, which was convenient. We had a great stay and definitely put it on our list of places to come back to.

We really enjoyed the campsite. The campground staff were friendly and very helpful. It suddenly turned pretty cold during our stay and the campground staff were very helpful with freeze warning notifications. We’d love to return when it’s warmer out! Penny was very good with communication and I would recommend this site!

This Delaware River front RV campsite is not for everyone. Stay away if you want lots of planned activities and golf cards whizzing by all the time! Stay away if you hate rafting down an amazing river! Stay away if you love hearing loud music from 5 campsites away! Stay away if beautiful river-front scenery is too boring for you. Stay away if campfires by the river during a star filled night is just too mundane. Stay away if you hate it when campsite staff make every effort to ensure your stay is great. Yeah, this place sucks, stay away! But seriously, what's not to love!

I really enjoyed this place. It is very peaceful and clean, perfect for resting and disconnecting. The surroundings are beautiful: watching the sunrise over the lake, the sunsets, and the bonfires at night made the experience unforgettable. The nature around brings peace and energy, ideal for relaxing and reconnecting. The hosts were very attentive and always available for anything I needed. You can feel the care and dedication they put into maintaining the place, which makes you feel welcome from the very first moment. Overall, it was an excellent experience and I definitely recommend it. It’s a place I would love to return to.
