I was located on 97. Nice clean area next to the lake. Big rig friendly. Pull through. I will stay here again.

We didn't go till Saturday morning we were to be in I165 but when arriving someone else was already set up in it, we took I159 which worked but no spots were marked reserved. It worked but not sure why spots never got marked reserved

We love site 48. Great water front views with a pull through. Site is not level so be prepared with leveling blocks. It’s on the end so neighbors are only on one side but not too close. Bathroom with a shower is close by and works great for a tornado shelter….yes we spent 30 minutes in there with 11 people during a tornado warning. Bathroom ceiling leaks pretty bad during a rainstorm but it’s close to the site if you need it!

Easy site to back into, bathroom/showers house is very close. Very quiet and peaceful. Nice shaded picnic table. Lave view.

We don't like not having a camp host. We left on time, but some haven't in the past. People are making reservations and then not showing up and cancelling at the last minute. I think you should not refund for cancellations. The recreation.Gov app is finally working better.

Do not like the new reservation procedure. No camp host to monitor the park. Can forsee problems ahead.

The wind was a nuisance but the camp was good

It was our first time camping at Marion and we had an awesome time at Cottonwood Point. Sites are just far enough apart that you don't feel like your neighbors are right on top of you. The water level is way down and you can tell. Even with that, we will camp here again!

There is no host this year and so when you have an issue there is no one in the booth for help. Very disappointed that there is no help there but understand good help is hard to find
