Absolutely loved our site. Was concerned about all the rock and concrete but turned out it was awesome! No mud/dirt leaf debris in camper and on rugs. Stayed 5 nights and didn’t even begin to see that the Shawnee has to offer! Can’t wait to go back!!

Mika was great. Helped getting parked and cart ride to/from the office. I have already started telling friends and family about how great the layout of the park is. Thank you.

Great facilities and staff. Very clean and well maintained. The only suggestion we have is to have stairs to access the bathrooms from the upper level and stairs in the middle of all terraces to access each level.

The camp hosts were awesome!!! We received a text early in the day of our arrival which was great. Then we were greeted with a huge welcoming wave. They got us checked in and took us to our site. They came around several times to check to see how our stay was going. The pizza was really good from the cafe. Campground was very clean. Would bring a golf cart or e bike activities are far apart.

Was with a group for wedding event. Cabins were cute, but not clean, wifi sketchy, TV didn't work in 1 cabin, needs more lighting in front of cabins so you can see to go to your car and not fall over rock borders. I will give the 1 bartender an A+, she was amazing. Would I recommend Lake Egypt Resort, I will have to try it one more time. Overall, I will give it a 2 star rating right now.

This is a new KOA. There are no trees. Campsites are either rocky gravel or nice concrete pads. The KOA is associated with a resort that has cabins and a marina. We stayed in mid-September so not much was happening on the waterfront. However, this would be a nice campground for families in the summer. It is also centrally located for many southern Illinois National Forest and state parks.

Park was closing down when we arrived. Park closes for the winter. There was some confusion trying to find the store/office. We are not big fans of the all gravel camping area. The people that work there are very nice and very helpful.

We had a blast! Great amenities, wonderful food and drink options, fun for adults and kids. The water park was a highlight for us. Having easy lake access for our boat was wonderful. The staff was absolutely wonderful from the moment we arrived. Alway friendly and checking if we needed anything anytime they saw us. We will definitely be back!

Amazing! I’d come back for the fellowship alone. We’ve met Mica, Kecia, Cory and Zander. (Sorry if I’ve misspelled names). But wow! My family felt like we’d ran into old friends. And the amenities are so great. We didn’t want to leave and can’t wait to come back. Thank you for the friendly hospitality and great stay. See you soon.

A wonderful weekend away. We had such a fun and relaxing weekend at this KOA. We’re already planning our next visit.

The Staff very friendly and extremely helpful. If you needed anything they brought it to you and even picked up your trash every morning and evening. Bath Houses very clean. Lots of amenities and the best smash burgers.

What a great experience. We were so excited to stay here and it did not disappoint. From the welcome escort to our home for the weekend to the last day, EVERY single person we came in contact with with was friendly and helpful. The live music, the food, the boozy shakes, the well appointed shop, all top notch. GET the boat and golfcart, so very worth it. Can't wait to return. Thank you again

The staff make the lakefront resort very special. We felt like we were at a high end resort from the time we checked in until we left. The people are welcoming and keep you informed of not just what is going on at the facility but what is around the area. Recommended several hikes and they were great + pet friendly. They recommended a great butcher shop in Marion and the meats were amazing.

We LOVED this campground, from the friendly staff to the abundant activities. We have camped at two other state parks in the area and our kids (and adults) get bored and we find ourselves needing to leave the grounds for activities. Not here! There was literally something for everyone to do! The grounds are immaculately clean. The campsites all have new concrete pads, fire rings, electric etc.

Everything was amazing from the bar, to the Rv site, to the host of the boats! I can’t find one thing to complain about. Everything was great and I will be back.

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.

Very, very nice campground. Corey and Kecia were super. Definitely recommend. We’ve already booked our next stay.

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

Very expensive! Cabins are very nice butt I didn't think they were worth the money I paid.
