Great campground. Lots of room on sites, clean facilities and pretty quiet. Kids had a good time at the playground and the view of the lake is nice.
First time camping here. The spot we chose was pretty level. Large pad for camper. Great shade. Restroom/shower house was clean
South Marcum did not disappoint. We love all the camping areas at Rend Lake. Beautiful and relaxing. We love the bike trail. This is our favorite place to camp.
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.
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.
