Beautiful Campground, Friendly staff. very confusing check in, need better signs at check in staging area & better directional signs to campground with milage to site. Post information in night check in cabinet. Provide dumpster for standard sites, hard to go to other areas. We watched another RV come to the staging area walked around confused and then left just like we were doing when called back

I think this campground has a lot to offer and the people that run it are awesome! I've stayed here twice and the only issue I had was at their "Deck" site which was NOT cleaned prior to our arrival. For the most expensive site on the property it should have been pristine. That being said I hope it was just an oversight and I plan to stay here again, maybe even the same "Deck" site.

The people here are amazing! We are beyond thankful for the owners help getting our car unstuck and appreciate their positive attitudes through the crazy experience. The location is so cool too, a restaurant and bar on the water!

Amazing! Hosts were so hospitable and cabin had everything we needed to make meals for the family. We hiked the Shawnee national forest in the mornings and in the afternoon the kids spent hours on the floating water park. Thank you for the amazing memories!

VERY clean, well maintained campground. The aesthetics were great! The sites are well spaced, and have a concrete patio. Most every site has sails for shade, nice fire rings and 2 aderondak chairs. The few others have pergolas (not sure about chairs or firerings with them), and one has an elevated deck with chairs, and below it is a ceiling fan,glass topped table, chairs, storage cabinet

Unusual KOA. 1 nite Rv stay. Lots for the kids to do which we didn’t have. Great kids water play and playground. No trash or dog necessities. Our lake view was a peak. All the cabins are upfront by the lake. Micah was a very nice host. I can’t imagine staying in an Rv in the peak of summer though. All said it was ok for us for the night.

This campground is unbelievable. We want our family to come on vacation and stay just there, some people in RV's, some in cablns. Amazing activities and property. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Got to be one of the best campsites anywhere.

It was a little disappointing for a KOA. It does not appear to be dog friendly. There are NO poop stations throughout the park besides in a small, tiny dog park, which didn't even have poop bags available.

We had a great time ,the people are very nice, the lake is beautiful. Nice that they have food if you do not feel like cooking. The pontoon was excellent. Our granddaughters enjoyed playing in the water. I have to say, it is not a place for bicycles. It would have been nice if they had a swimming pool. All in all a very nice place to visit.

Very concerned owners about you having the best time ever and we did ,secondary to a a Hawaiian island with all that beautiful land scape throughout the park if you can’t have a nice time here don’t leave your home. Thanks to all for a great vacation From grandkids grandmas grandpas moms and dads

Our cabin was right on the water and we could literally fish off of the deck. We caught lots of fish! The staff was very accommodating and friendly. We had a great time.

beach area by cabins was VERY little and not what I expected. cabins a little small but clean. No grass area around your cabin or firepit to sit around.

We booked with this location because of their promotion of family olympics and events going on that weekend--none of which ever happened. On top of that, there was very little for our younger kids to do in the water, as there is a 6 year age minimum on all of the lake fun that is promoted. Cabins were nice, but activities were not as advertised.

Very nice place! Little pricey for southern IL.

Each staff member we encountered was polite and friendly. The manager so kindly accommodated us with water park passes despite being a busy sold out day as it was our first trip there and we were camping on site. The bathrooms were very clean as well. We had a great experience at Marion KOA. Thanks!

Loft areas are too warm. Need larger frying pans when a unit sleeps 6. Couches need updating- our unit had a sectional but ripped. A family member had a loveseat. Scenery is very nice. Boat launch & parking for trailers is a nightmare. A storm picked up had to stay on the lake, heavy rain/lighting would have had to drop someone off at the ramp & run 1/2 mile to pick up the truck & trailer.

Great campground! Sites are great, level with concrete patios. The sky deck was awesome! We will definitely be back!

We had a wonderful stay. the sites are awesome. although there is a mobile home park feel to it... We came off the boat and went to sit by the restaurant / bar area and was greeted immediately by a gentleman who stated, I'm sorry but we can not allow you to bring your own food or drink into this area. We simply left and went back to camp. So they missed out on our food order. So be it.

We absolutely loved everything about the site!!!

We could not stay attached to our trailer (garage) for our jeep as we did not have the top attached to the jeep. We had to keep our jeep offsite in a friends garage and drive his pickup back and forth to the campground. we probably wont return for this reason. the campground was awesome, clean, friendly and well kept. We spent 15,xxx to have an enclosed trailer to "garage" our jeep when travel

Everything was very nice, the staff was very friendly and accommodating. The only problem we had was no shade for the camper. It was impossible for the air conditioner to keep up. But it was at 95° stay. The beach area could have used some tender, loving care and pull the moss and clean up the area. Thank you for our stay. The kids had a wonderful time.

For what it costs to stay there, the cabins are horrible. Very outdated. Small. Not enough sleeping arrangements and bathrooms for paying nearly $1,000 for 2 NIGHTS ONLY. Did not have a regular coffee pot. Had a Keurig in the kitchen but no pods. So frustrating to bring regular coffee grounds and not be able to enjoy a cup of coffee. Kitchen had tons of ants. Miserable stay.

We stayed there for 5days and didn’t ever have any issues, the staff was amazing and so was the owner which you don’t see working very often but he was there everyday with his staff working. Super clean and very friendly would recommend this place to anyone

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!
