There is no camp host and apparently no maintenance personnel. Nothing is being kept up. The play grounds are full of weeds. Actually the whole camp ground is getting run down with weeds. It is a shame because at one time the camp ground was a nice place. There is a great trail but like the rest of the camp ground it is not being kept up. There are fallen trees making the trail impassable. The RV sites are nice. They are spaced out nicely. It is quiet and I feel safe.

I can't say it enough, we are so thankful to be back on Cottonwood Point! Thank you for getting that open. Apparently, camp hosts are of the past, therefore please list a contact number when an issue arises such as four-wheelers on racing near the community campsites, tent campers on the walking trail, or other concerns that arise needing attention. Thanks for all you do!

Worst camping experience of my life. Booked this campsite 6 months in advance just to be able to enjoy this site. Actually had booked Fri thru Sun and then extended our stay to Mon. Upon arrival Fri I had to have 2 truck loads of people move out of our campsite. Part of this group returned in a different truck and parked in my campsite again. Guess if they changed trucks they thought they could park in my site. Asked them to leave again. The first group of people drove across the cove and heckled us all evening yelling derogatory statements till well after midnight. Saturday was another day of people parking next to our camper, walking thru our campsite and basically being intrusive and rude. Sunday more of the same. I had booked this campsite months in advance and wished to be left alone to fish and relax without having to share my campsite with 6 different group of intruders. We packed up Sunday morning and headed home even though we had the campsite thru Monday! Totally disgusted with this activity. Had this same campsite reserved for Labor Day weekend. Cancelled that upon arrival home. People need to stay out of other peoples campsites!!!!! Camp host needs to get a handle on this. Toxic situation here. I DO Not like waking up and have strangers and their vehicles in my campsite. Will not tolerate this again.

Had 2 truckloads of people parked in our campsite upon arrival on Friday. Asked them to leave upon which several individuals took offense to that. They left only to return in a different truck and park 10' in front of my camper 30 minutes later. Asked them to leave again. About an hour later 2 individuals came back for the 3rd. time in another vehicle. After dark the individuals I asked to leave the first time parked across the cove on the point and heckled and yelled inflamatory remarks till sometime after midnight. Saturday morning the second group of people that had been asked to leave my campsite returned in a truck and proceeded to walk thru our camp. Told them to leave again. The camp site next to us vacated , about 20 min later another vehicle parked there but the people walked thru our campsite to see if there was room to fish in the cove. We talked to the Park Ranger about this situation. Anyone can fish anywhere they want on the lake but DO NOT have the right to park or walk thru occupied campsites. Common courtisy and respect for others personal space seems to be lacking in some people. Sunday morning another truck parked in front of my camper. Gave up at this point. Told them to move so I could hook up to the trailer and leave. Had the campsite reserved thru Monday but was not going to put up with this constant encroachment everyday. The camp host needs to curtail this toxic situation. People need to stay out of other peoples camp site. The wrong people are going to meet in this situation with high temperatures, alcohol and bad attitudes shortly, and it will end bad. Worst weekend of camping I have ever had in my entire life. We reserved theses sites 6 months in advance because we enjoy them. Had them reserved for laborday weekend too, cancelled that because of this situation.. Worst Camping I Have Ever Experienced!!!!!
