Reviews of South Marcum Recreational Area
"First time at this campground and was really surprised. Big sites extra parking for all the people that need 2 cars for the weekend. Some sites aren’t real level but if you know what your doing it’s not a problem. There is no parking on the grass or dogs off leash and it is unforced so if your those people the state park would be better for you. 20-30-50 amp power some fhu and some w&e. Beautiful area little highway noise. Will definitely be back"
"Wonderful park. Only improvements that could be made would be adding a dumpster at all the loops Also adding a basketball court. Other than that, we loved it."
"Love this campground. Large treed sites with paved parking spots, each has a concrte pad for entrance and picnic tables. 47 0f the 147 sites have full hookups, all others have electricity. Many with lake views. Plenty of wildlife to view. Plus a large group area."
"Awesome campground all around. The showers were clean, nice playground for the kids, and plenty of secluded sights for those who want more peace and quiet. Beautiful scenery and trails as well."
"Awesome place for fun on the water with friends and family. I worked on Rend Lake for 20 years. Beautiful recreational area for boating, camping. Come see for yourself. Kayak and bike trails over entire lake. Beautiful sunsets."
