Marion Mountain Campground offers a beautiful and peaceful experience amidst stunning mountain scenery and well-maintained sites, perfect for nature lovers. While some visitors faced issues with parking and noisy groups, the overall atmosphere remains tranquil with clean facilities. The remote location enhances the wilderness vibe, making it an ideal spot for camping and hiking, though it's recommended to bring bug spray due to pesky insects.

The campground is small, but very clean. The biggest problem, which there is nothing they can do about, were the incessant, awful flies and mosquitoes. We hiked to the top of Marion Mountain, and I was nonstop waving flies away. If you go there, bring a mosquito net for your face/head, and lots of DEET bug spray. The flies and mosquitoes were immune to my Family Off spray. In fact, we called it honey after a while because it seems that they were drawn to it! Otherwise, the campground was quiet (Sun-Wed). Pit toilet only. We brought a camper van. Water at just a few sites. We were in space 22. No water there. This place is definitely rent or small camper van-type. No class A or B.

Amazing campground in such an incredibly beautiful area. Conveniently located right next to hiking trails. There are two pit toilets with no sink but there is a spigot though I don't believe the water was potable. Campsites 006, 007, and 008 seemed to be the best in my opinion. No campfires while I was there (Oct-Jan) but still had an amazing experience. Very much looking forward to returning in the future!

Camp fires in the approved and provided USFS fire rings were not allowed. This was unacceptable !

Scenery was great. Privacy was better than average. It was quiet, but my visit was mid-week and there were few other campers.

Very clean campground. Right next to hiking trail. Great views. Lots of mosquitoes, but was prepared for it. This is one of my favorite campgrounds.

Campground is pretty spread out which is nice. But the campground reservation is a mess where people who did not reserve can simply occupy your campground while it’s almost impossible to find a ranger to resolve the issue especially if you arrive later in the day and there is no cell signal.

It's a drive up from Idyllwild but well worth it. Amazing views and campsites are fairly spread out. Convenient access to Marion Mountain Trail.
