Old Log Resort and Campground

2 Reviews Add Review

Old Log Resort and Campground operates 20 sites along M115 in Marion, with electric hookups and a dump station available. The family-owned facility has been in business since 1941, with riverside sites 4 and 5 offering direct water access. Owners provide kayak rentals with drop-off service, allowing paddlers to float back to the campground's own landing.

The location sits directly on a busy state highway, creating consistent road noise that some campers find disruptive. However, sites positioned along the river provide front-yard water views that many visitors find worthwhile. Clean facilities and friendly management help offset the traffic sounds for those prioritizing water access and convenience over quiet. Reservations are recommended for riverside spots.

Clean, older, super friendly, with kyak rentals

Excellent owners! Super friendly that work hard to keep the place really clean. Its been in business since 1941 I believe.

They have 20 sites. The ones by the river are where we stayed. (sites 4&5). They also have some little cabins. They also do kyak rentals, with drop off and you boat back to their own landing. Super convenient.

We stayed the weekend and fully enjoyed it. We stayed in site 5 and had the river as our front yard. Electric is provided at each site, and they do have a dump station.

The ONLY downside I had, and I knew full well going into this and it didn't bother me, it is on M115, a fairly busy road. I know that might be a deal breaker for some, but was easily overlooked for the view we had, the kindness of the owners, and the cleanliness of the facilities and grounds. Most folks wont care, but some purists (Just know that I'm usually a boondock, REAL desolate camping kind of guy), wont like the traffic aspect. I didn't let it bother me.

I give 5 stars because they cant do anything a bout the location, obviously, so I rated on our experience. We had an excellent time, and will come back again.
