Hillsboro Cove

Nice campground for winter camping. Be sure and fill water. tanks prior to arriving.

Nice quiet campground with excellent showers and access to the lake.

We will be back next year. Our friends from Nebraska would rather come here than Milford reservoir

Love this campground. Close to Marion and Hillsboro for supplies. Quiet campground. Only complaint is the road entering in a horrible hazard. Enter at your own risk. I’ve complained about it for years and just keeps getting worse.

It was very quiet…..only 4 campers total. We had a nice, level pull through right at waters edge, and enjoyed it very much!

For a large family gathering, the location worked out perfectly! Close to swimming area for kiddies, close to boat dock for unloading, close to restrooms for, well...and the perfect spot for grilling and chilling! Look forward to next summer and another day at the lake.

Great location. Restrooms were very clean.

Marion Reservoir has fantastic camping sites and fishing opportunities.

This was our last camping trip of the season. We had never been to Marion Reservoir, so this was a new experience for us. We love fall camping as usually you pretty much have the campground to yourself. We picked a site from the app going strictly by the pictures. First of all, the campground is immediately off highway 56. This is a busy highway with lots of truck traffic. There was definitely a lot of traffic noise during the day and the night. Fortunately, we slept with the windows closed and the furnace on, so the noise wasn't overwhelming, but it sure could have been if you wanted to sleep with the windows open in the spring/summer. Of course, being late in the season, the heated shower/toilets where closed (which we expected). There was a male and female vault toilet within a short walk from our campsite. The toilet seat in the men's restroom was broken in half, so we both ended up using the women's toilet. The whole time we were there, we never saw a park ranger, local Sherriff, or camp host. When we arrived, sure enough, we had picked a campsite that had a RV parked in the next space over. All of the rest of the camp sites in the whole campground were empty. We tried to modify our reservation to move a site or two down, but the app wouldn't let us move to a different site. It said that all of the rest of the sites were not available for the time we were going to be there. (But no one else ever showed up the whole time we were there.) There were garbage cans for use nearby, but all were full and no trash pickup while we were there. On the positive side, the first night we arrived, I caught 3 nice White Bass right out behind our camper. The lake had been really high, so lots of vegetation was submerged making for good fishing. The campsite was pretty decent...right on the lake, (lots of trees), firepit, covered picnic table, nice gravel parking spot. The neighbor turned out to be a nice guy, so we had a nice visit. Overall a good last trip!

Campground is nearly empty during the week at the end of August. Nice large well spaced sites with electric and water.
