There are low hanging dead tree limbs that barely cleared our AC. Also, if you don't put the camper over the parking block, we couldn't open the awning. That was an oversite on our part, but maybe trim that tree up on the side that faces the campers.
the 110 outlet didn't work , either. The water was running out of the spigot after last camper left...had to "manuever" the handle to shut off.
Did enjoy the new table.
thank you.

Cottonwood Point, Marion Reservoir, KS last stay was without a doubt the worst camping ever for me and my family.
Dead animal smell when we arrived which I thought was likely down by the lake. Only to find out it was dead fish, craw-fish and shrimp left in the campsite grill along with other trash. I cleaned that mess. Then the fire-pit was completely full of ashes. Again, I cleaned that mess. The grass needed mowed when we got there. I mentioned to staff and all they said was we will have to see when your site is scheduled to be mowed. We were there almost two weeks and never saw anyone mowing. we left two days early because we had enough. I have cancelled my next three reservations for Cottonwood Point, Marion Reservoir, KS because of it. It cost $30 to cancel them all! I have been camping there for over twenty years and it used to be my favorite place in KS to camp. Our family usually camped in about five different spots several times a year. I believe that has ended. Guess I need to look for a new place to camp.

The place was very beatiful and good fishing from bank. Very nice and polite staff and very helpful. The only thing I would like to see would be the site more level because it was hard to get 5th wheel level. This was site 33 in cottonwood point.

We went out to cottonwood for 3 days and absolutely loved it. We were right on the water and had the perfect amount of shade. We will definitely be coming back again!
