Been going to Marcus Island for 50 years. My late husband and I fell in love with the campground first time we went. Now our kids and grandkids are enjoying it too!! Not a bad thing to say about it. 🤗

Clean campground! Fairly quiet when we went there in mid-August. Well maintained vault toilets. Campground is good for bicycles. Many short trails down to the river. Kind of hard to walk along the shore sometimes due to rocks IF you are wearing flip flops, but just wear sensible shoes and you can go shore fishing!

Weather conditions were very poor during to the wildfires in the area, winds were strong enough to make swimming/ paddle boarding unsafe. Had to leave the campground two days early because of this.

Fantastic campground experience for Independence Day. Each site was full by the holiday, but the sites were dispersed enough to be relatively quiet. There are multiple trails down to the water, although a couple take you directly past/through assigned campsites. Bathrooms were nice and clean, well stocked, and smelled better than expected. I stayed at site 4 and was happy with the layout. It looks like site 16 has the best access to a set of stairs down to the water, but there are numerous sites with good views on the west end of the island. Cell service with Verizon was strong all weekend, and I rebooked my next camping trip for the campground after loving it so much. See you again soon!
