September 5, 2021 Stayed at: C11, Loop: COTTONWOOD CAMPGROUND (IA)
Best campsite in Iowa. Beautiful tree cover, mostly flat sites. The bathrooms were clean, with good flush toilets, warm water, and air dryers. There were showers but we didn't use them.
I like that the walk in, non electric sites means tents only!
All sites had picnic tables and fire rings.
We had a fabulous time.

Camped at site 15, nice large wooded site. Nicely shaded. We had for the most part a very enjoyable time. Didn't realize when we booked it that it was 1/8 of a mile uphill from the parking. Also there are houses within view through the woods from the campsite and there were what sounded like teenagers at the houses that were a times very loud.
