Mallard Marsh with no bugs was very pleasant. We arrived late on a Friday made dinner and went to bed after the fire burned out. It was quiet and not close to the only boat ramp at Hosmer. I think this was a plus considering the amount of traffic the boat ramp gets on weekends. My wife said the pit toilet was one of the cleanest she has used in recent memory. There is lake access further down the loop that is not signed. In the future we will check that out.

Should be noted that Recreations.gov shows flush toilets at this location and trash/recycling available along the loop. This is not accurate. I already knew that, so it wasn't a concern for our trip. The campground was very peaceful until Saturday night, when we had to talk to some neighbors about observing quiet hours. During the week it was very quiet and the lake wasn't too crowded; paddleboard traffic gets thick and makes it hard to navigate narrow channels during busy times. Wish I could have stayed longer!

Large site with lots of trees. Very quiet and easy access to Hosmer. Our site even had a path down to the water where you could leave a boat or paddle board.

Nice location, walking distance to the Hosmer lake boat ramp. Wish there was water in the campground or the one next door. Bathrooms were clean as compared to other vault toilets we have camped in. Campsites large enough for at least a couple of tents. Overall nice stay.

What a gem of a campground and location! I almost hate to recommend it, because I want to keep Mallard Marsh and Hosmer Lake to myself…the words already out , so why not tell it like it is? There are no services-pit toilets, no water or electric- and the mosquitos were vicious, but we enjoyed boondocking with with little 19” Airstream trailer. If we can ever get a reservation, we’ll be back.

Campsite was clean and had actually been raked/manicured upon our arrival. Plenty of flat spots to pitch a tent at site #5. Nice and quiet; we stayed Monday of Labor Day Weekend. Pit toilets are a close walk; a little stinky but hey it's a pit toilet after a holiday weekend so let's be realistic here. It was quite clean and well stocked with toilet paper. 2nd time staying here. Hosmer is a great place for a mellow paddle with outstanding mountain views and great wildlife viewing. Wasps at the campsite were pretty aggressive but it was that time of the season. I noticed there were wasp traps hanging from trees in other campsites so there's definitely been an effort made to reduce their presence. Thank you Mallard Marsh Camp Host for the prestine upkeep of your grounds.
