Cottonwood Point

We enjoyed our stay nice clean
campgrounds nicely maintained. Not sure why the shower house or the bathhouse that was next to us was out of order. That was the only thing that was not convenient. Nice place to camp.

Cottonwood point never disappoints. It’s a great place for glamping the sunsets are spectacular! Harold and Rose they are great! We absolutely love it there with lots of sites we do prefer the full hookups.

Every thing was great except for the power I have 30amp camper the fuse kept chuting off so I used the 50 amp side

We parked in Old Cottonwood Point 2. To all those with reservations for 79 thru to 93 need to know the bathroom and shower was closed again. Just like last year and previous years. The only operating bathroom was at the boat ramp. The bathroom across from sites 53 and 54 stools would not flush down and mens shower control handle missing.. The local bathroom helps us get through 14 days of camping without using a portable tank. To dump a portable tank you have to go all the way back to where you come in to the park. To get a shower we went to Hillsboro cove, NO hot water... We sure would like the bathrooms fixed in old Cottonwood Point 2. Its sad to see people stop at the bathroom across from site 87 only to be upset cause there closed and get back in vehicle and drive away. I beg the US Army Corp of Engineers to get these items fixed.

The park is feeling neglected. The poison ivy is taking over. We were there several weeks over a period of time and saw a ranger only once or twice. Volunteers and Rangers used to come around and talk to campers but no lomger. Rules aren’t being followed, cars are parked on the grass, off road vehicles are starting to show up and drive through campsites.

Marion has always had the best campsites. It just saddens me that it seems the facility is not being maintained as it should be.

We have been to this campground a lot and normally love it for the large spots. Not enough bathrooms for a holiday weekend. They had several locked and it seemed they could open them when the campground is full. Disappointed in the facilities.

It was very windy most of the time. We stayed at site 154. It was a good site. A little lower than most and that helped with the wind. It’s a spacious site. There were no other sites behind it. That made it seem private and spacious. It was level an or fifth wheel auto leveling system set it up on the first try. Used 2 yellow blocks on each jack.

Always one of our favorite places- but
1) need more park ranger visibility especially on busy weekends
2) All dogs need to be on leashes even when campgrounds are almost empty- big dogs small dogs
3) side by sides, razors, 4 wheelers were all over the place even driving through our friends campsite
4) please fix the bath/shower houses that have been slated for work I understand for over 2 years now!
5) the culvert on site 162 needs improvement
6) we saw trucks, cars, boat trailers parked on grass - needs to be addressed
If some of these things are not addressed soon people will assume they are all ok and then it will become harder to enforce.
Again still a great place but we want to
Keep it that way.

A peaceful place. Many of the campsites have a good amount of shade and views of the lake. A small hiking trail on the north side of the western part is a nice walk through woods. While they do keep restrooms/showers open on both the east and west parts, I have never been there when all of them are operational. There was only one working men's shower on the entire west side when we were there.
