Fun place

Overall it was great. A few minor things inconveniences- the toilet seat slid around, and water temp was highly variable, too inconsistent to take over a 5-6 min shower. But the beds were great, and the close parking was wonderful, since we have a special needs granddaughter w clothing equipment. View was wonderful n the deck�ϋ�

We had a wonderful time on the lake, in the waterpark, on the slip and slide, and bounce equipment! Tons of stuff for the kids to do. Cabin was clean (with great A\C) and had everything we needed, sleeping lofts worked perfectly for our kids. Staff was friendly and helpful. Overall a great experience!

We had a great time. We hosted our annual family reunion here. We rented 5 separate cabins and 2 RV sites. Everyone in our 30 person group had an amazing time. The cabins were clean, the staff were super friendly, tons of amenities to choose from, reasonable prices. The list goes on and on. Thanks for a great stay and can’t wait to come back again!

Nice big pull in spot. Staff was helpful. Only KOA that we stayed at so far that did not give a military discount when we asked about it.

The staff were very friendly and helpful . Very affordable with nice amenities . Lake of Egypt is beautiful . Would love if there were swings and shade for the tent sites .

The facility is clean and new. Food options are nice to have on site. The friendly staff combined with all the kids activities makes this place awesome for families.

The facilities are great, food pretty good, and management was wonderful! The only issue we had was the steps to the loft beds were narrow and pretty steep. The three of us had to figure out how all to sleep downstairs (one bedroom, couch, and one across two chairs). BUT we loved the property and the facilities available! They were great!!

After a bit of rocky start with the camp host everything went well. Mr. Mica and other staff were a Class act. Our grandchildren had an OUTSTANDING time. Thanks for everything!! Jim Sullivan

Nearby to what we wanted to do in area. Clean. But very little shade. Canopy helped minimally. Also lost water pressure & staff failed to tell us problem & precautions to take. (Boil water). Did provide bottled water after we called to find out cause of low water pressure.

We had a great stay! The campground was clean, the staff was kind, and the live music was a fun bonus. Our only disappointment was the limited swimming—the beach was small, shallow, and it was very hot. We'd love to see a few extra watercraft available for walk-up rentals instead of requiring advance reservations.

Marion/Shawnee National Forest KOA is a wonderful resort campground!!! The water park was the highlight of our visit, and the onsite dining options were excellent and convenient. There’s plenty to do for all ages. My only wish is that there were more shade trees. The RV sites are gravel/concrete and include a bimini shade, seating, and a fire pit. We loved it and would definitely return!

The campground was beautiful and very well maintained with lots for kids to do! The availability of the boats and jet skis could be better advertised - we were unaware that these booked out months in advance and could not be rented during our stay.

No shade, no actual camp store, everything is focused on the water activities, or alcohol. Not a friendly staff at all. No way would I recommend this place to anyone. We have stayed at several other koa's in Michigan and Ohio, this one sucks, not really focused on camping at all.
Jul 20, 2026
A little disappointing. Didn't see where website let us know all jet skies and boats were rented for the season... not sure it was on there..? Hmm. But the kids did have fun on obstacle coarse. Enjoyed the music and the deck area.

Two adult and two teenagers. We loved the water course. Only downfall is they make you dump out your water before entering the area. We were caught for guard especially when the area was under a boil water advisory and temperatures were in the 90’s. They offered us 1 bottle water each for free. I would like to see the water activities open up to all koa campers to all day passes to lake activiti

Accommodations are great. RV parking on top lot roomy and love the canopy over the picnic table. The only thing I did not like was campers having to make reservations for a 3 hour slot to swim or play on obstacle course. I prefer a pool not the muddy Lake. But Grandkids loved the obstacle course.

Cabin 25: need shade over deck on south side bc it gets VERY hot; need shades inside on upper west facing windows; need wifi booster in main cabin; well outfitted; extremely clean; great customer service; terrific amenities! Loved our stay!!!

Exceptional. We will definitely stay again

Though the campgrounds well kept and clean the fact that they charge extra for use of the tiny beach area is unacceptable for a KOA. We understand the charge for the “waterpark” but the beach should be open for people staying there especially since there is no pool.

You never know by the pics…but this was the exception where it was nicer than depicted!! Clean camp with a bar by the water and lots of activities for the kids!! Great stop!! Hope to be back!

My family had a wonderful stay! There was so much to do, my grandkids had a blast! Everyone there was so helpful and friendly. The campsites are very modern and the cabins are so cozy and cute. Thank you for an amazing 4th of July weekend.

We had an amazing stay over the Fourth of July weekend. The staff were very friendly, and we loved just sitting by the lake and watching all the activities around us. Reason I’m giving my rating a four is because the icemaker didn’t work in our refrigerator and our toilet did not flush properly the whole time of our stay and we had multiple issues with the door locking when we would leave.

Fun water park and water activities, friendly staff and very nice campsite. We would have enjoyed a grate to cook on our campfire but otherwise we loved everything about our stay. Thanks!

It was very nice, except the amenities they offer are not included in the cost of your stay. There is a charge for the beach as well as the obstacle course. And the beach is only about 2’ deep.

Fantastic stay.Excellent campgrounds. Shower rooms were great. The inflatable water play area at playground was fantanstic with it being so hot!The burgers and shakes were ten out of ten. Only negative NOTE : you can not sit on the dock with loungers and umbrellas where your children enter and exit obstacles course without buying passes for yourself, even if you aren't using the obstacle course.

Lots to do with the family. Drinks and food were yummy. Can't control the weather, but still a great time!

Tented here. It’s a convenient location. For families it’s a great place with lots of activities, playground, prepared food available, ice cream etc. also a bar for adults. Bathrooms and showers are always clean and well maintained. Despite all the activity options never had an issue with noise. Tent pads are spacious and have a fire pit, outdoor table and chairs, and a charging shelf

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!
