Overall a good experience. One of the sites had no electricity but the website allowed us to book it. As it was not busy we were able to rebook at a site near by. Being unable to book more that 4 days in advance of our stay was the biggest annoyance. Great sites otherwise.

We were right off the lake, and it was beautiful. Well kept, clean, and level site. Planning on going back again.

We camped on a windy, but quiet weekend. Campsites are well maintained and the east loop area has a very nice, modern bathhouse. Entrance roads are in need of some patching, but acceptable. Sewer dump station might be improved by lowering the rim walls to the sump a few inches. The height of the rim requires some ramps to keep the sewer hoses elevated so it will drain properly without lifting. We hope that the lack of a campsite host at the gate will not cause any dimishing in the maintenance and quality of the campgrounds. We saw the camp ranger several times during the weekend. All told, Hillsboro Cove is a nice campground and we will consider returning.

We are new to the RV camping and we're very pleased with Hillsboro campground at Marion Lake. It is clean and very well maintained with a nice variety of back in and pull through sites . Will definitely be back for another stay.
