August 8, 2022 Stayed at: C09, Loop: COTTONWOOD CAMPGROUND (IA)
Cottonwood is a beautiful and serene campground. The bathrooms are kept very clean. I have camp here for well over 20 years and it's my favorite tent campground around. Just make sure you stow your food properly (wedge coolers under picnic tables at night, put all dry foods in totes in the center of your tent or in your vehicle at night). The racoons are very good at scavenging.

Beautiful spot. Clean restrooms with warm showers. Unfortunately, not all camper respected quiet hours.

Great location, but the quiet hours are not enforced. They let people drink and play loud music until midnight.
