Marcus Island Campground

The campground wasn't very full when we went so it was very peaceful. The bathroom was clean and the garbage receptacle was handy. It looks like a great place to kayak. We've gotten spoiled with electricity and water hookups, but knew there weren't any there so that's a neutral comment. Our only complaint is that there was a lot of garbage around the site. The people who were closest to us made the same remark - they had to clean up the site before settling in.

An incredibly beautiful spot, very under used. Perhaps that is because the
Tweakers are allowed to stay. We were one of only 3 campers out of 25 spots. The party across from us had obviously been there a long time due to the amount of stuff they had. They worked on a car the first day we were there however without success but lots of noise and lots people. The next day they didn't get up until late which was good but the dogs were barking and no one tried to stop them, friends came and left all day, that night 2 cars came in and out thru out the night with the lights waking us up. Then around 3 o'clock in the morning they wandered around the campground shining a flashlight everywhere, in our tent and up into the trees. After awhile they said they "couldn't find it" well we didn't sleep for the rest of the night. At 6 am they looked like they were packing up but they were just moving boxes and totes of stuff around. We broke down camp 2 days early and left. Never ever would we return. Beautiful setting, unfortunately inaccessible water (super rocky, hard to walk on and steep sides) bathrooms were clean and the rangers came by once a day but never stopped. We know the tweaker folks didn't pay because I looked it up on the website. Makes me the fool for paying when it's not enforced. I love the National parks but our experiences have been not very good lately. I know it must be hard to confront tweakers but they will be running the parks soon. Very disappointed the Rangers didn't do anything. No we didn't call them or stop them as we have learned to mind our own business and bug out if you don't like it. In the past the park rangers have actually made matters worse. However I still support and love the National Parks and Park Rangers.

We had a great site and experience. But no dump or water available. Several nice sites with water views, but not much shade.

Absolutely amazing campsite. Quiet, close to water and small town of Marcus. Lot's of recreational options close by.

I had a great campsite next to the lake. It was hard to find since the campground does not provide signage. A map at the entrance kiosk would be helpful as well as notifying campers that there are no spigots for water.

Marcus Is Campground has about 20 sites, some quite private. Our group had 3 sites (17-19) at the south end, water on both sides, easy access to lake, beautiful views of surrounding landscapes. Toilets were fine and well stocked with paper, garbage picked up daily. No potable water however. There is hiking in the area and Kettle Falls is 5 mi away for shopping. Highly recommend this Campground.

Fantastic stay at Marcus Island. It was clean and peaceful.

The good: trees and nature,lovely place, bathroom clean

The bad: the beach is dangerous too many rocks and deep, sites with no privacy it would be better to have a RV zone and tent only zone, our neighbors turn on the generator all day

I was the only camper in the campground, which helped make it more enjoyable for me. Otherwise, the facility was clean with some very nicely positioned campsites that provided great views. Some of the sites were tightly spaced without vegetation to provide privacy, but overall the layout was good.

Mid April, the water is very low. Take in to consideration if planning to fish. Very quiet and close enough to town if you need anything.
