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.

Abundant shade. Clean, well maintained. Great area for walking without worrying about a lot of traffic. Plan to bring bikes next time.

We enjoyed our stay at Marion Reservoir and the grounds were very well kept. Hosts at Cottonwood Point and Hillsboro Cove were very personable and it's nice to know there is someone there if you need them. Enjoyed visiting with both. We will definitely be bk. Very Nice!

Cottonwood is a great place to camp. I did not give 5 stars because there is a first come first serve policy, for many sites there, and it is a really bad policy. I drove up 3 times from Wichita and could not get the sites I wanted. The best way to fairly get the sites you want is make reservations. Some sites offer reservations, just not all.

I reserved this site on August 2nd. I tried to get the site for 2 weeks starting on the 7th of October and end on the 21st of October. At that time I was unable to make a reservation beyond the 15th of October. The site was listed as FF, first come first serve. I found out on the 14th of October that somebody was allowed to reserve the site for the night of the 15th and according to the park ranger was not listed as FF for that night. As far as I am concerned, the people running this web site need to be fired and replace with competent personnel that know how to run a web site.

From Marion, Kansas, take Highway 56 for about 4 mi. Turn north on Old Mill Road and continue almost three miles, then follow signs to the campground.
Cottonwood Point is accessible via Highway 56, which is approximately 4 miles from Marion, Kansas.
