We were very disappointed.The access road TERRIBLE!!When we got to the camp site it in took me a half hour to clean up after the previous occupants, food scraps everywhere.The campsite looked like it hadn't been mowed for weeks.

Site 41 is wonderful! Lots of room and shade! Only setback is water hookup but since we have a holding tank that wasnt an issue! We had to move our reservation to Hillsboro Cove since the original campsite at Cottonwood Point was flooded. But it turned out great and we will book again!

We love camping here and normally its great! This trip though nothing was mowed or kept up. Trash was overflowing in areas. This is not normal for this area at all. But itsa beautiful lake and often very peaceful and a great place to visit!
@LarryWB457BBFB · Camped on May 1, 2025 at Campsite #21
The are in not being mowed or trash picked up often enough but other than that it was good
@MichaelC616917 · Camped on Apr 21, 2025 at Campsite #52
The roads could use some TLC but the spot was fantastic. Shower house was spotless. I would highly recommend.
@PaulS8803282 · Camped on Mar 30, 2025 at Campsite #5
Im not sure how a campground can be listed as open when only one comfort station is unlocked. And to make the experience more disgusting was the filthy conditions of this vault toilet. No paper provided. Looked like it hadnt been cleaned since last fall.

Awesome spot ! Very relaxing. Be gone before the north wind hits or your camper will be rocking ! Enjoyed every minute
@MarkM2223984 · Camped on Nov 5, 2024 at Campsite #31
Camping spots were right by the water. The lake is full and looks really nice
@SchaneeAFF732B · Camped on Oct 11, 2024 at Campsite #23
The sites were very large. The dock was well cared for and bathrooms clean. We really enjoyed the covered picnic slab at each site
@JohnW4841416 · Camped on Oct 6, 2024 at Campsite #12
We were one of only a few at the campground in early October. The weather was beautiful. The campsite and covered table were great! And the hot showers were good. I recommend staying here.
@JoAnnF54C377DC · Camped on Sep 6, 2024 at Campsite #12
We enjoy the peacefulness of the surroundings. Our only complaint is the condition of the road leading to the campground. It is very much in need of some attention and repair. It's almost an "enter at your own risk". Too bad it's not taken better care of...
@HowardT9719815 · Camped on Aug 30, 2024 at Campsite #38
Nicely mowed and facilities clean and stocked. RV slots were wide and level. I will certainly return, so much better than larger lakes in the area
@markc1361143 · Camped on Aug 27, 2024 at Campsite #31
We go to Marion often and always try to find the perfect spot. This was close to that spot. Nice shade. Beautiful view of the water and easy access for fishing or kayaking. It was very quiet when we were there mid-week. Nice grass for the dogs. Short walk to the bathhouse. Reservation site didnt say that there is water hookup but there is. And electricity. We will pick this spot again!
@JennyP50ED7816 · Camped on Aug 9, 2024 at Campsite #19
It is one of the few spots with water access making it a prime location for people who want to fish during the week. The result is a lot of trash being left around the area. We had a lot of clean up to do.
@JoAnnF54C377DC · Camped on Jul 19, 2024 at Campsite #26
We always look for a shady spot when it's hot, and we have a favorite one. Not all the spots have water, but we can fill up our fresh water tank close by. We enjoy the peace and quiet, watching and listening to the birds, and just relaxing. Hillsboro Cove is our favorite spot, but we like Cottonwood Point also. Harder to find a shady site since so many of the trees are dying due to the drought.
@BobbiP17ACC480 · Camped on Jun 28, 2024 at Campsite #44
Was not anything like picture. No area for children. Swimming area was closed. Very disappointed
@KimS7922535 · Camped on Jun 14, 2024 at Campsite #27
As we was packing up I noticed our electrical pole and cord smoking. We use a power surge protector and it fried it. So there went 300.00. We noticed several other campsites that had cones on them. Another camper had trouble with hers as well. Not real happy at this point.
@TimM9090024 · Camped on Jun 4, 2024 at Campsite #12
Love this area. Always very clean, especially the rest rooms. (Except for the bugs)This time, however, my site was full of ants. Not much fun but not much anyone can do about that.
@JoS8736500 · Camped on May 9, 2024 at Campsite #25
Its our first time camping on the Hillsboro side of Lake. Not the first time at Marion reservoir. It was very enjoyable & loved the site. There was a problem with the 50 amp & we said something to the camp host & he had a guy come the next day. Got the issue fixed right there & then. We was very impressed with the care of there campers. Great place to camp!!
@KendallG249177 · Camped on May 4, 2024 at Campsite #52
Great location and not many campers. Only negatives was the lake is down 6 feet and the blue green algae started at the end of our trip.
@Stephanie77189 · Camped on Apr 30, 2024 at Campsite #31
I love camping here, it is so relaxing and quiet.
@GregP7824948 · Camped on Mar 29, 2024 at Campsite #24
Site 24 was good, sort of isolated by trees from the rest of the campground except site 25. Water and electric working. Table, grill, and fire pit in good condition. Flat ground and driveway to work with. Only issue was the campground showers werent working for the season yet.
@NancyB3949689 · Camped on Dec 5, 2023 at Campsite #24
Big sites next to the reservoir
@DwightL5ECFC8B · Camped on Nov 1, 2023 at Campsite #51
Lakeview and the best covered picnic tables of any campground we have stayed at.

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.

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.
