We love going to Cottonwood Point Campground when ever we are passing through Kansas. The sites are so large and most have full hookups. Easy bike riding and walking. The little town of Marion has an ACE Hardware and a decent grocery store.

We very much enjoyed our visit to Cottonwood Point on Marion Reservoir. Fantastic morning and evening views of the lake, very friendly hosts and guests. The only thing that keeps me from a five star rating is the fire ring and BBQ grill had not been cleaned in a very long time. We camped at the same site in July of this year and prior to leaving we cleaned the grill and fire ring, so it was a bit disappointing to find them full.

This is a truly wonderful place to camp. Very large well spaced sites. I think 73 or so FHU sites which is amazing for a COE park. And many more W/E sites in other camping loops. All sites are lakeside/lake view. The older area is very shady. Verizon signal and OTA TV excellent. Friendly helpful host staff. For tourist activity you can drive 30 miles east of the lake to Cottonwood Falls which is a cute little town with museums and beautiful courthouse. Several shops in the quaint downtown and Grand Central Hotel and Grill serves excellent food in a lovely historic building. Hwy 177 is the main road through town and is part of the Flint Hills Scenic Byway. North on 177 is Tallgrass National Prairie Grass Preserve which is interesting to see. North of that is the lovely historic town of Council Grove. West of the campground is Maxwell Wildlife Preserve with a large herd of free range bison. The towns of Marion and Hillsboro are very close to lake. Groceries, hardware store, coffee shop, other fun stuff. We love this area of Kansas. So peaceful and serene.

Nice campground. Everyone who was staying there were friendly, campground host was super nice and bathrooms were some of the best we have seen in awhile. Definitely will be staying again.
