What Guests Are Saying
Marion Mountain Campground offers a beautiful and peaceful setting for camping and hiking, with well-maintained campsites and stunning views. The location is convenient for accessing trails, including the Marion Mountain Trailhead, and is a short drive to Idyllwild for supplies. However, visitors should be prepared for limited amenities, such as no potable water and basic restroom facilities, and expect close quarters with neighbors during busy weekends.

tight campsites for RV trailers…especially any greater than 19 ft.

Such a peaceful campsite, experience, and generally just a great location to choose if being away from the immediate vicinity of Idyllwild is the goal. The trailhead to San Jacinto leaves from Marion also thereby reducing the overall distance if a day of hiking is in the plans. Site 12 is conveniently located only 1 site away from 2 spacious and clean restrooms. If a perfectly flat surface for your tent footprint is desired I recommend bringing a rake to level it better than the forest service does. A short 10 minute commute into town for supplies or meals is no problem at all. .

Unfortunately, a large group used 3 campsites to host their organized "Teen Group Camp" while we were there. They were loud, paid no attention to quiet hours and were generally disruptive and destructive the entire time we were there. There is no Ranger or Camp Host and no one checked in at the camp during our 3 days there.

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.
