This was our first trip to Marion Reservoir, so we were not sure what to expect. When we arrived we were pleasantly surprised at how large and spacious the campsites themselves were. We really liked the covered picnic tables at all the sites, and how close we were to the water. Our only downfall was that the lake had a hazardous blue green algae bloom so the camp gates had to be closed for safety to the public. Another thing the shower house was very nice but the parking lots need some attending to. Overall we loved our stay and want to come back when the algae is either gone or back to a warning level. Our Ranger for the park was SUPER helpful and very nice!!

Very nice area. We stayed three nights. Needed to move from one space to the other as we could not find a space to book for three nights in a row. The spaces which were supposed to be occupied were not taken and were left open which is annoying.
Good to relax, to fish and to hike. Children find wide open space to play around.

As usual had a good time except for the weather, which couldn't be helped. However, we noticed several spots that were supposed to be reserved with no one in them. This kept us from having spots that we preferred. I think that if a spot us reserved, then that person should have their camper there, or if they cancel then they get no refund. It is agravating to see an empty spot that showed reserved then no one is there which kept us from getting that spot. This whole policy needs reviewed. If you reserve a spot then be there or lose your whole reservation fee. If the reservation is cancelled, then show it as available on your website. We saw several empty spots that showed reserved with no onne in them.

I was disappointed that there was no camp host at cottonwood point. Also disappointed that we could not reserve site 099 or 101 except 4 days in advance. This is unacceptable to me . We camp during the week an they are our favorite sites. The system should be no different for these sites as other. Level of service has declined
