There are right around 240 campground sites that help generate money for the county. Most of the sites are full-service, with electrical, sewer and water.

Steve Edwards, Executive Director of the Marion County Conservation Department and his staff manage three parks in the county, the Marion County Park, Cordova Park and Roberts Creek Park.

Cordova and Roberts Creek are two of the largest county parks in the state of Iowa. Cordova with 1,100 acres is the 10th largest in Iowa and Roberts Creek with 1,500 acres is the seventh largest county park in the state.
