This reservoir is struggling with no volunteers to help with the maintenance but despite it all, it still has charm. Big trees, good size campsites, and shopping available at Hillsboro, Kansas and Marion, Kansas.

This camping area was better before they went to a host-less campground. Litter, unmowed areas, no notice of blue-green algae dangers, and no security. This lake is going downhill fast.

The water was beautiful and kayaking was very enjoyable. Love the space between the campsites. It was very peaceful week.

We have been coming to Cottonwood Point for at least 12 years. This year has been a VERY off year. The vibes have really changed there since they don't have a camp host anymore. Finally have the major floods a couple years ago sites 79-93 are somewhat camp-able. Last weekend 49-58 were flooded and they shut that entire side down so we couldn't access the boat dock. This boat dock is the nicest boat dock around. We had to use a couple others that were quite dangerous and put our boat in jeopardy. I have no idea why they couldn't just close the campsite (clearly under water) but allow people to access the docks. The other MAJOR pain is Marion Reservoir always has issues with Blue Green Algae. I think we'll take a break for awhile. :(

This lake needs some serious attention. The campgrounds are not as well kept as they use to be. The shore line is littered with brush and dead fall making it hard to have a spot to fish. The mowing contractor isn't doing a good job. There has been a couple of weekends when the sites have not been mowed, no weed eating is being done to around the shelters or fire rings. Also we don't understand how the Corp of engineers or the EPA can allow a feed lot to pollute the lake by pouring in cattle waste to the lake every time it rains, you can smell it in the water.
