They mowed everything up the day after we arrived, looked real nice.

Navigating through the website was reasonably easy once I got the hang of it. The campsite was now crowded and for that reason our stay was a very nice stay.

Cottonwood Point is such an amazing campground. It is one of my absolute favorite places to camp. The sites are such a great size that you can see the reservoir and just relax. Cant wait to camp there again!

@MichaelS838841 · Camped on Oct 8, 2025 at Campsite #67

We reported a light out in restrooms about 4 years ago. Still not fixed. It is the bathrooms close to boat docks.

Nice site. Leaky water bib. Temp fix with attachment.Fishermen came to site 104. Cleaned fish at water bib leaving entrails and scales. Best that they would clean area afterwards.

@JerryE1949127 · Camped on Oct 5, 2025 at Campsite #41

I was glad to arrive and not see anyone else in our campsite. We went out on a Sunday and left on a Friday. When your retired you can do that.

@LynnP6546689 · Camped on Oct 5, 2025 at Campsite #84

Nice very clean park

@KimD7911144 · Camped on Oct 3, 2025 at Campsite #93

We had so much fun! It was the perfect spot for us. Loved that it was right by bathhouse and across the road was the dumpster. It was nice, thank you

@DewayneC272340 · Camped on Oct 2, 2025 at Campsite #100

This campground is our very favorite place to relax. Peaceful and beautiful. And full hookups is awesome. Site 100 was the only open site when we reserved. It's easily one of our favorite sites here. Great unobstructed views of the lake since the lakeside sites are have so much space between them.

@BruceK2612995 · Camped on Oct 2, 2025 at Campsite #117

Very clean and well kept

@LoisH7384245 · Camped on Oct 1, 2025 at Campsite #97

Great campsite and campground.

@DonnaF4591064 · Camped on Sep 29, 2025 at Campsite #123

I wish it was easier to make a reservation at sites 95 thru 106. I dont understand the reason for the restricted timing.

@KennethV242091 · Camped on Sep 28, 2025 at Campsite #104

We have been going to Marion Lake for several years. I am disappointed how the camping areas have been taken care of. The mowing of the site is not up to par. You never see a ranger and the office area is usually locked.

@StarlaG60FA0DC · Camped on Sep 26, 2025 at Campsite #143

Great level spot next to the water

@MarciaH2761327 · Camped on Sep 26, 2025 at Campsite #115

First off, there is no shade. Next, the site is extremely rocky and slopes off so that we didn't have enough blocks to stabilize the back of the camper! Lastly, there is POISON IVY between the site and the lakeshore! We were supposed to stay 4 nights, but left after 1 very hot day and night. I do not recommend this campsite.

@CarolJea761508 · Camped on Sep 23, 2025 at Campsite #32

We heard the showers were close for 2 years in our area. The roads were very good. The view from our site of the lake was nice and easy to get to the beach. The dump station was easy to get to. The hose was missing end piece.

@WilliamW688008 · Camped on Sep 21, 2025 at Campsite #30

Beautiful campground. Well patrolled.

@JimR3616045 · Camped on Sep 21, 2025 at Campsite #121

The park was very well kept up. The restrooms were clean. Great camping sites.

@jeffreys172959 · Camped on Sep 19, 2025 at Campsite #45

Nice large spot as always, close to water. However this one is quite uneven. Luckily we had just purchased leveling ramps. Due to how uneven it is, we probably will not choose this site again. We do love this loop tho!

@DebA881CE2C226 · Camped on Sep 19, 2025 at Campsite #117

We love the spacious lots, the view and peaceful atmosphere for a relaxing weekend on the lake.

@JessicaG555444 · Camped on Sep 19, 2025 at Campsite #131

This is a great spot, lots of room for a dog to run. The only concern is the bent canopy.

@BrandonM29B9CB · Camped on Sep 19, 2025 at Campsite #4

The shade at the campgrounds were excellent, the patios and picnic tables were good. The nearby shower house was completely closed and there was no mention of that online anywhere. Flushing toilets were close enough, but it was about half a mile to the nearest showers.

@JoAnnF54C377DC · Camped on Sep 18, 2025 at Campsite #76

the campsites were clean and accessible. One complaint we had was the water faucet we normally use to fill our tank was off, with no signage indicating that, before we got out hose etc. We had to find another one. It was also hard to find showers that were close and working.

@MichaelR189137 · Camped on Sep 18, 2025 at Campsite #111

Good distance between campsites. My site sloped from back down to front more than I like but it was acceptable electric, water and sewer utilities were all excellent. Loop had been mowed recently. Public restrooms and showers were clean and well maintained. Trash dump area was also well maintained.

@WilliamB132333 · Camped on Sep 17, 2025 at Campsite #101

Mowing and maintenance was unacceptable. Didn't see the rangers come thru on a regular basis. Electric and water are having issues at several sites. Can't get ahold of them but phone unless your lucky. We appreciate having canopy's over the patios.We don't like the waiting 4 days to make a reservation.Thank you for listening.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado
