Confirmed by 1 users | Last reported on July 07, 2020The park is clean, the shower houses are clean. The sites are varied, you can find a site that fits your desires. However, without a boat there isn't much to do. The lake was down when we were there so swimming along the beach edges was out. Also, the lake smelled really bad.

After a long winter we were ready to take the trailer out to a nearby lake. Marion lake is in "winter mode" until April 1 so we knew the shower house and vault toilets would not be open. But there were no other campers either! We could watch the birds and the waves on the lake. Great if you are looking for a peaceful, relaxing weekend, which is what we needed.
