I love this campground. Very clean and peaceful, most sites have plenty of room. No rif-raf hanging around which keeps it safe and relaxing.

Lovely view - hoping the beach can be opened up for swimming at the nice beach area that was near our campsite.

Cottonwood Point is always clean and well kept. Services are ideal and camp sites are great. We've found our favorite and look forward to returning many times. Having just experienced a private "resort" at another lake, we'll stick to COE and KWP sites. The expensive private "resorts" have nothing that compares to the great spots at Cottonwood Point.

Great place to camp. Many FHU sites, all right on the water or at least with a close view. Large well spaced sites that are fairly level. Utilities are excellent with 50/30/20 amp and water as well as sewer in the sites numbered 95 and higher. Friendly camp hosts. Grounds were well maintained on our visit. Shower houses are new and nice. Hillsboro and Marion are nearby with hardware stores, grocery, Sonic Drive In, Pizza Hut, etc. The new area with FHU has less shade than the older area, but there are some trees in most every site. Verizon signal good, and OTA TV offers many channels.

Fantastic bike riding from Cottonwood. We thought we would be able to kayak from here by looking at the map, but the banks are too steep, and the creek/river was too low at the time we were there.

Helpful and pleasant staff member to check you in. Spacious park with water views. Watched heron fly over the reservoir almst every morning. About a half hour or so from Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve. Otherwise, just a good spot to stop and stay as you make your way across Kansas.

The fire pits and BBQ stands were full of ashes. It has been my experience that all of my past CoE stays, they have been emptied by Camp Hosts. I had to empty my BBQ stand before I could use it. They appeared to unused for a while as there was an abundance of spider webs.
