This lake is nice good views most sites are pretty level. Hard to find your campsite if you haven’t been here before and take a wrong turn, and no hosts or staff to ask questions Hate the lighted power pedestals they attract.insects to your site apday and nite and have become insect condos bring a brush to clean it out so you can safely plug in.

Great area to camp in and spacious. Lots of room to accommodate plenty of people. Don’t forget your lawn chairs!

The sites are good, pretty clean, except of all the spider webs on the covered awning, which is in need of repair.

For the first time in years, I will have to go to "fair" instead of "excellent" rating. We were camping with grands and spent the whole weekend with local fishermen coming through the campsite and parking in our area to fish. Not only did I need to keep track of the kids from vehicles, but the dog was constantly barking at what he though was intruders. Kinda disappointing when we pay for the site. We love Marion Lake, but that weekend was a bit disappointing.

It was a good time but trees need to be trimmed around 136 Loop H. They rubbed the side of camper as we backed in.

We have been to Marion numerous times and is our favorite camping spot. Took my cousins with us on their first camping trip with their first camper. It was a perfect weekend for them. The water access behind the camping spot was what they wanted. They are hooked now.

Was given the wrong information by a phone tech when trying to set up a reservation, was told first come were available. Set up camper on an available spot and had Ranger Aaron S. show up to tell us it has been reserved. Aaron went out of this way, was very kind and professional and helped us with our issue. KUDOS TO AARON SPRINGER IS WELL DESERVED. Great place to camp in a beautiful area. Some spots are extremely windy and we did get hit with a straight line wind but was able to rescue awning with minimal damage, others were not so lucky. Keep your awning in if out on a boat for the day in windy areas, that storm came out of nowhere. In touring the campsites we noticed some sites do not get the wind but on an 80 degree day those spots were quite warm and mildly uncomfortable.
