Our stay was amazing. The campground is clean and gorgeous. Wish there was more shade over the tent sites. But over all, everything was amazing.

We did like the location on the lake. We were able to rent a pontoon boat for a cruise around the lake right onsite. The food was excellent( I had a turkey club sandwich) Oh, and the ice cream was fantastic ( I had a Heath Lizzard ) Everyone of the Staff was very welcoming and helpful. We’ll definatly be back.

Friendly greeting, escorted me to the campsite. Store was open and food available. Great wifi connection. Super clean shower and bathroom facility, thank you.

We absolutely loved it! The site was great with the fire pit, Adirondack chairs, and flat concrete pads. The view of the lake was nice, and the marina and deck on the water were great! Beautiful landscaping, delicious burgers, and super friendly and helpful staff. Would absolutely recommend - 2 thumbs up!

Our family absolutely loved our stay at the Marion KOA. The sites were large, the bathrooms were immaculate, and the staff was incredibly kind. The owner Micah is wonderful! My entire family enjoyed the stand up paddle boards, canoes, and inflatable waterpark. Be sure to enjoy a pizza and a milkshake from their restaurant! This is your "sign" to book with Micah and his family for a great trip!

The site was very wide and had perfectly functional hookups. Staff were very friendly and we had a very nice stay. The best thing about our lake view site was the fact that it got shade in the afternoons. There really wasn't much view of the lake, but given there are no trees anywhere in the RV areas, it was a nice bonus to be near the private property's tree line. Hence 4 stars rather than 5.

Just overnight. The camp host was wonderful. The sites are extremely open and close to each other. There isn’t any privacy. The site wasn’t worth the $85.

Kecia and reception were great! The hook ups were easy for our RV. Dog run was great- gate used rocks to keep it closed. The bounce pad that was supposed to be open all weekend, wasn’t open Sunday. The bathrooms were never busy, but had air fresheners masking bathroom smell not too well. Pizza was good and quick. Drinks were good. Waterpark was lots of fun, but an additional (discounted) pr

The most easy way to put it is to say we didn't want to leave. Our stay was for five nights and it just wasn't long enough. Everything was great and couldn't have been any better. We have stayed at a lot of camp grounds over the years and I would rate this one above five. Thanks again for everything. Bob Fleckenstein

Micah and the entire staff went above and beyond to make sure we had the best time and we sure did. Thank you, Micah and staff! You are awesome!

Before I booked this campground I called. I asked about the swimming. I was told there was a beach and a waterpark and I asked if I had to pay extra and she said no that it was free for those who were camping there. That was not the case. I would’ve never booked a campground where my kids couldn’t swim every day unless I paid an extra $50-100. Also, garbage was never picked up.. Disappointed

For a new KOA, these guys are doing great. So much for kids to do including a swim park! Peaceful sunsets and great staff. Good job! Keep up the good work.

Our favorite campground of all time. The food, over the top! The ice cream, best ever! My wife could not stop talking about the boozy shakes and slushes. Guys, they have a gourmet coffee bar. We have never had our kids ready to go to bed so early! They were plain worn out. Never have we seen more kid activities in one place! We will be back, soon!

Too far away from main highways and not really a park for kids. No railings on docks and very rustic any! Better for weekender residents. I level lots but clean for the big RVers.

family reunion was enjoyed by all. I believe reservations were made for next year by most of the family. We had our grandchildren with us and they were not old enough to participate in the water park. It would be great if there was a clean little beach area that they could wet their feet in with adult supervision of course. All in all we had a good time and felt the staff was great

Our family had a blast at the Marion/Shawnee National Forest KOA! The kids are already asking when we can go back. The food and drinks were delicious, and the water park was a hit. We loved the floating agility course and paddling around the lake on kayaks and paddle boards. Highly recommend this KOA for family fun!

Great facilities and amenities. Staff was all very friendly and helpful. Definitely recommending to friends and family.

Our hosts, Corey and Kecia were incredibly friendly, inviting and accommodating.! Everything at the campsite itself worked perfectly. The bathhouse on the women’s side was the only disappointment. The larger stall showerhead didn’t work the smaller stall with the rain head seem to run out of hot water. We talked to Kecia about these things and she said she would make note. Overall, we loved it

If I could rate this KOA higher than 5 stars and a 10 I certainly would. The owners and staff are nothing less than amazing! We were treated just like family and can't believe how friendly everyone was. The site we had was without a doubt one of the most amazing places we have ever stayed. We've been all across the US and I can't think of one place that is comparable. We will be back for sure!

We had a big family reunion with 40+ people staying in 7 cabins. Everyone was so accomodating, friendly, and willing to help us out in every way they could to make our reunion special. Great place and great people!

We had a great time at this resort. There is so much for the kids to do and the staff is very friendly and kind! We will definitely return for another stay.

I am rating it low only because of the costs, I would not go back for that reason. $100 a night, not worth it and the food/beverage cost on site was way too high! The campground it's self was clean but NO shade and all rock. Check in was awesome, we were greeted as we pulled into the campground and escorted to our site and all needed information was provided to us at that time. All staff was nice!

We really enjoyed our visit. The staff were very friendly and went out of their way to help in any way. I have already recommended to my friends and family.

We had the best long weekend at Marion KOA. The amenities were top notch. Our cabin was cozy and perfect for our family. The food was also excellent. My son loved the water inflatables. We will definitely be back!

Best campground we've been to! Every little detail from the friendliest staff/owners to best shakes this chunky girl has ever had, and super pet-friendly. The RV spots were perfect, comfort stations clean and comfortable, views fantastic! It's not too far to Little Garden of the Gods and Little Grand Canyon in the Shawnee National Forest. We'll DEFINITELY be back!
