This was our first trip to Marion Reservoir, so we were not sure what to expect. When we arrived we were pleasantly surprised at how large and spacious the campsites themselves were. We really liked the covered picnic tables at all the sites, and how close we were to the water. Our only downfall was that the lake had a hazardous blue green algae bloom so the camp gates had to be closed for safety to the public. Another thing the shower house was very nice but the parking lots need some attending to. Overall we loved our stay and want to come back when the algae is either gone or back to a warning level. Our Ranger for the park was SUPER helpful and very nice!!

This lake needs some serious attention. The campgrounds are not as well kept as they use to be. The shore line is littered with brush and dead fall making it hard to have a spot to fish. The mowing contractor isn't doing a good job. There has been a couple of weekends when the sites have not been mowed, no weed eating is being done to around the shelters or fire rings. Also we don't understand how the Corp of engineers or the EPA can allow a feed lot to pollute the lake by pouring in cattle waste to the lake every time it rains, you can smell it in the water.

From Marion, Kansas, take Highway 56 for about 4 mi. Turn north on Old Mill Road and continue almost three miles, then follow signs to the campground.
Cottonwood Point is accessible via Highway 56, which is approximately 4 miles from Marion, Kansas.
