Beautiful park with lots of things to do. Alot of the sites had awnings already over the picnic tables which is nice. The park has Frisbee golf, a basketball goal, and a very nice playground with swings which are kid really enjoyed. The bathrooms were clean and well maintained. The park attendants were very nice and the park itself was quiet and well mowed and maintained. The only thing I could recommend for the park is an ice machine for people to buy ice.

Cottonshed is a very clean, well maintained and quiet campground. The park hosts are nice, helpful and always available to help. The scenery is stunning. It's great for birders. We plan to return many times!

This Park is a hidden gem. Every site has awesome views of the lake. Has a disc golf area. Great for viewing wildlife. Definitely a favorite.

I was at site 14. My third time staying at Cottonshed. It is terrific! I couldn't give it five stars because of two things, neither of which can be fixed or controlled by the COE or management. Cell service is marginal, and I spent a lot of time trying to wait for a signal to send text messages or use social media. The second problem is alligators in the lake, prevent water fun activities. I have dogs that love to swim, and I had to be extra careful they didn't go next to the water. Other than that, I have zero complaints. Other campers are very friendly there, and so is the staff. I will go back, just won't stay more than a couple days.
