Cottonwood Point is praised for its beautiful, clean campsites and scenic views by the lake, making it a great spot for water sports and relaxation. Many visitors appreciate the spacious sites, well-maintained facilities, and friendly atmosphere, with some returning frequently for the calming experience. However, concerns about infrequent mowing, maintenance issues, and limited restroom access have been noted, suggesting areas for improvement.

No one at the gate. Only saw one ranger during our 8 day stay. Now they tell us we can't reserve a spot more than four days ahead. Ceiling falling down in the handicapped shower in the men's shower room, and 30 amp electricity in our spot didn't work. No one ever addressed any of these problems. Probably won't be back.

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!

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

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

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!

The wind was a nuisance but the camp was good

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

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.
