Marval Resort is a beautiful, peaceful, and clean vacation destination located on the Lower Illinois River in Gore, OK, considered an angler's paradise with a half-mile of river front. It is very family friendly, suitable for all ages and ability levels, and perfect for family fun, adventures, and reunions. The resort offers excellent accommodations and upgrades including cabins, RV sites, and tent sites. There are many activities and amenities such as a swimming pool, splash pad, mini golf, a playground, a jumping pillow, a gaga ball pit, basketball and volleyball courts, an activity center, and a pizza place. The river is stocked with rainbow trout year-round. The staff are consistently described as kind, friendly, helpful, and patient. While the resort provides a fun and relaxing time, some notes include that RV sites can have space restraints, signage for campsites could be clearer, and additional trash facilities are recommended. The resort is not very baby friendly due to gravel roads and a lack of baby swings, though showers are clean and well-kept. Overall, guests highly recommend it, calling it a perfect place and a must for any bucket list, with many visitors booking return trips annually. It is a place for wonderful family memories, great afternoon naps, and simply enjoying being alive.
Only my second time here and we purposefully go this time of year because we want to fish and have quiet nights by the fire. It was great. We will be back.
