Beautiful park and it's a shame to see it being neglected. There is no camp host, so be prepared to battle for your reserved spot.

this facility is not keeping up with maintenance of their equipment and buildings. The campsite we were in the thread on the water facuet leaks. We told one of the rangers last year about it and it still leaks. The sanitation station has the same issue. The cut off hose,s thread sprays water everywhere. Stayed for 5 days and did not see trash service. Racoons got into the trash and clearly having a party, The bathroom across from number 33 in Cottonwood Point is disgusting and needs a hot water tank that has been ordered but this was an issue last year. It would be nice to be notified when the water would be turned off for maintenance on another campsite. It is hard to be nice when you are in the shower with no way to rinse off because the water was off. This used to be a really pretty place but it is going down hill fast. The Corp of Engineers lock themselves away..far away from the campers and we never see them. I know short of staff is an issue but don't you think it is time to think out of the box and have some items fixed? If you call the Corp you get an answering service and they do call back though. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Beautiful campground, lots of open green space mixed with tree cover. Nearly all the sites are directly on the lake! Sunsets were amazing, lots of wildlife. Clean and stocked restrooms. 2 bars AT&T. Would definitely return! Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve is about 35 minutes away, must see if you're in the area!

It was nice and quiet and we were close to the water, and had a shady spot! Couldn't ask for more!

Good access to the lake from the site. Lots of area to play easy to back trail in. Quit area. Down side is only has one small tree for shade.

We really like Marion, it's not far from us. Which is great for a short weekend getaway. Would highly recommend trying it out.
