Our stay keeps getting better and better each time we go here. We started staying here last October, shortly after Jud bought Bell’s. The grounds are always clean and well groomed. It’s nice that they have a hotel here because my daughters and grandkids can come stay a night and not have to worry about driving home.

Lakefront Site 2 25’x50’ FHU 30/50

This place has really gotten better over the past year. My girlfriend and I tried it for the first time last year and wasn’t impressed but found out that Bells had just been purchased by Jud. When we came back the second time, it was 100% nicer and the third time was this weekend. It just keeps getting better. The staff is welcoming and nice. We had follow up conversations to make sure we had everything we needed. Very well manicured landscape. I really like the addition of the lights on the palms. I highly recommend Bells.

Lakefront RV 9, 25’x50’ 30Amp+Water

We stayed in Spot #11 - a nice, level, lakeside, pull-through campsite with electricity, water & dump available. It has a great view of Lake Marion, right across from the boat ramp. This is a great place for families/groups that have both an RV & a boat. There's also a small suite of hotel rooms for non-campers. Host Jud was *extremely* nice & is clearly committed to improving the property & making guests feel well taken care of. One warning: they aren't currently set up for same-day bookers who arrive late. Jud's staff checks the HipCamp site once daily for bookings. They don't keep the app open all the time & might miss a late booking (like ours)! HipCamp's instant booking will give you a confirmation, directions & instructions. But the check-in is at a small store at the entrance & the store closes at 9 pm. If you arrive after 9 pm, there is a locked gate & (potentially) no response on the dial pad phone. Lucky for us, a friendly camper drove in behind us & let us through the gate. So all was well! Jud's plans to rewrite his HipCamp description to avoid any late night/last minute booking confusion in the future. He really is a conscientious host! One other note: Google maps' directions to individual sites is confusing. And it's hard to see the site #s if you arrive at night. Bring a flashlight! Jud's always improving things. My guess is that reflective #s will be installed before long! Thanks for the nice visit!

Lakefront RV 9, 25’x50’ 30Amp+Water

Really friendly staff. Jud and partner were really hands on the property and accommodating. We booked a spot right on the water and when we got there realized it was too close to the water with having a toddler. They switched us to a spot that was farther from the lake, no problem! Nice bathrooms/shower/laundry space. Really easy to meet people and seems like a solid community at Bell’s Marina. Thanks, great times!
