I enjoyed my two week stay. I would have stayed until winter if I didn't have to move every two weeks. I'll definitely be back!!

It is a great pull thru site with water access right out in front of the spot. However there is very little shade which contradicts what is stated in the reservation. We camped a few weeks after a flood and the site had not been cleaned up, had lots of debris scattered all over the area. Due to the fact that there was not much shade and all the debris is the reason for the lower review. I would highly suggest some form of wasp spray and most of the awning are filled with wasp nests.

This would be a fantastic spot in spring or fall when the temps weren’t over 95 degrees.

Nice corner lot with lots of room. Site was level and easy to back into. There was not much shade for the camper but the surrounding area is full of trees. Wasps seem to be a huge problem at cottonwood point, every spot we have stayed has been overwhelmed with them. The grill was filthy and full of wasps as well.

Camp sites are. Overgrown and in disrepair. We had to bring our own mower and clean up campsites. We have never seen it like this. We go out often and have had to mow our own sites. Grass and weeds were up to my knees. Why aren’t they taking care of cottonwood point? Who do we need to complain to? It’s a federal recreation area!

There was a major leak at the water source. The water pressure was low into camper. The leak made it very wet at the back of camper.
Else the campsite was good and we enjoyed our stay. Quiet and relaxing.
