Hillsboro Cove

As we was packing up I noticed our electrical pole and cord smoking. We use a power surge protector and it fried it. So there went 300.00. We noticed several other campsites that had cones on them. Another camper had trouble with hers as well. Not real happy at this point.

Great location and not many campers. Only negatives was the lake is down 6 feet and the blue green algae started at the end of our trip.

I love camping here, it is so relaxing and quiet.

It’s our first time camping on the Hillsboro side of Lake. Not the first time at Marion reservoir. It was very enjoyable & loved the site. There was a problem with the 50 amp & we said something to the camp host & he had a guy come the next day. Got the issue fixed right there & then. We was very impressed with the care of there campers. Great place to camp!!

Site 24 was good, sort of isolated by trees from the rest of the campground except site 25. Water and electric working. Table, grill, and fire pit in good condition. Flat ground and driveway to work with. Only issue was the campground showers weren’t working for the season yet.

Big sites next to the reservoir

Lakeview and the best covered picnic tables of any campground we have stayed at.

Quiet peacfull campground.
Few campers.

There seemed to be a lot more sites occupied than what was showing as reserved on recreation.gov.
In addition, there was at least one site that was reserved, but nobody showed up that night.
The recreation.gov online system is not always accurate. Sometimes it shows that all sites are reserved, but several go unused. These are sites that could have been used FCFS. Very inefficient.. Needs a lot of modification. Please pass this along to someone who can make those changes.

Great campsite and campground! We were right on the lake and only had 1 other person in the whole loop when we were there. Enjoyed the shade and sun as it was cool at night and warm during the day. Had electric & water & a nice picnic table with a roof over it & fire pit.
