Cottonwood Point is praised for its beautiful, clean campsites and scenic views by the lake, making it a great spot for water sports and relaxation. Many visitors appreciate the spacious sites, well-maintained facilities, and friendly atmosphere, with some returning frequently for the calming experience. However, concerns about infrequent mowing, maintenance issues, and limited restroom access have been noted, suggesting areas for improvement.

Love this area, very clean and mowed. Tables are on concrete slabs with covered roofs. Quiet and peaceful.

We have stayed at 5 or 6 different sites. Some more than once. We like the full hookup option. With sewer water and 50 amp. The shelters over the picnic tables are a plus. The sights are larger than most other lakes in the area. It’s usually mowed fairly short also.
The blue green algae is a problem sometimes.

The ground isn't even so it was a pain to get my camper even. But a decent spot close to the water and bathroom

First time camping at Marion Reservoir. Booked campsite #5 because of shade and proximity to a shower house. Upon arrival and after setting up the campsite, became aware that the shower house was closed. Inquired of the volunteer host who indicated that the shower house had been closed for the entire season. Forced to change campsites. Recreation.gov has no alerts for Marion Reservoir. This shower house situation should have been posted as an alert.
Despite the above, Marion Reservoir is well maintained. The alternative campsite and shower house were both very nice.

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.
