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

Camp sites were very clean, bathrooms were exceptionally nice and well maintained. Great stay. I would have given 5 stars but the bathroom and showers had no hot water.

We have camped at Marion Reservoir for many years, however, due to the weather, we were not able to enjoy the grounds like in past years. We did recognize some campers from last year and enjoyed getting re-acquainted. Campers, as a whole are very courteous and friendly which makes camping there more enjoyable.

Miss the camp hosts and the gate attendants. Feel like campground security goes down without them.

It was wonderful to be back on Cottonwood Point. Thank-you! Thank you also for burning, which hasn't been done in years.
Not having a camp host or local contact number was frustrating. When people were breaking the rules by camping on the nature trail there was no one to contact. Once we did spot a ranger in the distance, but we were never checked in. The beaver continues to destroy trees. Granted they are a part of nature but when humans and wildlife cohabitate, wildlife management becomes crucial. The trees provide benefits to aquatic, avian, and human life.
We are optimistic that the new reservoir manager will continue to make positive changes.
