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.

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.

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.

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!

We were very happy with our stay at the koa Marion .the facilities were all top tier, the staff was wonderful. We would recommend this campground 100%

We really enjoyed our 3 nights at this KOA. We took advantage of the water park on 2 of the days as well as rented a boat for one day. We enjoyed the live music and food options. It was very busy on the weekend as they allow outside guests come in, however, this did not take away from our experience.
Jun 23, 2026
Excellent stay. We will be back.

We stayed in the RV sites; they were wonderful with very little set up needed. The amenities were awesome and the staff was friendly and helpful! We are discussing a possible 2027 family reunion!

Pros-clean, friendly owner Cons-gravel, no shade or trees at campground. Staff was rude when we walked down to the marina with coffee cups in the morning. Tickets sold out for water park, paying campers should get first dibs. Wouldn’t sell us ice?? Nickel and dimed us wherever they could. Would not go back.

The mens showers have curtains and a grown man opened it on my 14yr old son. That was unnerving. We are local and will probably stay again but definitely wont utilize the showers.

Well not recommended this KOA to anyone. Will not be back and will share our not so good customer experience.

Owner, Micah, and staff were most cordial and accommodating. A few amenities weren't open (burger bar, jumping pillow, slip & slide) but we were able to keep busy and the kids had a pretty good time on the water course and tubing on the lake. Biggest complaint about the campground is there was little shade. And while most of the sites had built-in canopy, it didn't offer camper any shade.

We had a great 2 night stay this past week. Our site was well kept and had a great view. We had a great time at the waterpark and renting a boat for the day. Most importantly the ENTIRE staff was amazing. Sydney thank you so much for helping us and getting medication for our dog she really needed when we didn’t have a car to get it ourselves. Only wish shower area had better AC.

Wonderful, low key old school R&R. What a treasure.

We found the park using the KOA ap, it has rarely steered us wrong. We were passing through the area and planned to stay one night. After getting there and seeing what the park had to offer, we immediately called the office to secure our site for a second night. The staff is incredible! On our list to stay when we come thru next year, but we will add a third night!!!

Your campground has everything and then some! We would definitely come back. Only recommendation I would give is a bigger dog park area since there is not a lot of grass

Love the amenities. The RV site 13 was updated with concrete pads and above rest of campground. The breeze was perfect up there, too.

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!
