This was our last camping trip of the season. We had never been to Marion Reservoir, so this was a new experience for us. We love fall camping as usually you pretty much have the campground to yourself. We picked a site from the app going strictly by the pictures. First of all, the campground is immediately off highway 56. This is a busy highway with lots of truck traffic. There was definitely a lot of traffic noise during the day and the night. Fortunately, we slept with the windows closed and the furnace on, so the noise wasn't overwhelming, but it sure could have been if you wanted to sleep with the windows open in the spring/summer. Of course, being late in the season, the heated shower/toilets where closed (which we expected). There was a male and female vault toilet within a short walk from our campsite. The toilet seat in the men's restroom was broken in half, so we both ended up using the women's toilet. The whole time we were there, we never saw a park ranger, local Sherriff, or camp host. When we arrived, sure enough, we had picked a campsite that had a RV parked in the next space over. All of the rest of the camp sites in the whole campground were empty. We tried to modify our reservation to move a site or two down, but the app wouldn't let us move to a different site. It said that all of the rest of the sites were not available for the time we were going to be there. (But no one else ever showed up the whole time we were there.) There were garbage cans for use nearby, but all were full and no trash pickup while we were there. On the positive side, the first night we arrived, I caught 3 nice White Bass right out behind our camper. The lake had been really high, so lots of vegetation was submerged making for good fishing. The campsite was pretty decent...right on the lake, (lots of trees), firepit, covered picnic table, nice gravel parking spot. The neighbor turned out to be a nice guy, so we had a nice visit. Overall a good last trip!

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.

Great spots, wish vault bathrooms had exhaust fans, clean but hot.
