Cottonwood Campground (IA)

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

The bathrooms are maintained and clean. The showers are hot and in good condition. The is light near the restroom area and the remainder of the camping is very dark.

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

Great connection with nature. Try to catch a slow mo video when trees let go of the cottonwood seeds it’s awesome!!

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.
