Thank you for putting gravel down on the pads. We appreciate all that the new manager is trying to do after years of neglect. Would love to see camp hosts back or more of a ranger presence. Nonetheless, Cottonwood Point provides the best camping in Kansas. Thanks for all you do.

Sites were very nice. Water and Electric were a bit far away, most people water and electrical are on the drivers side, middle to rear. You need front service to use these without an additional hose or drop line.

We have been camping here for years. With attendees checking us in. Alway enjoy staying a weekend and sometimes a whole week. But this year It felt weird not checking in and no game wardens around. Kinda felt security was lacking.

I was located on 97. Nice clean area next to the lake. Big rig friendly. Pull through. I will stay here again.

We didn't go till Saturday morning we were to be in I165 but when arriving someone else was already set up in it, we took I159 which worked but no spots were marked reserved. It worked but not sure why spots never got marked reserved

We love site 48. Great water front views with a pull through. Site is not level so be prepared with leveling blocks. It’s on the end so neighbors are only on one side but not too close. Bathroom with a shower is close by and works great for a tornado shelter….yes we spent 30 minutes in there with 11 people during a tornado warning. Bathroom ceiling leaks pretty bad during a rainstorm but it’s close to the site if you need it!

We don't like not having a camp host. We left on time, but some haven't in the past. People are making reservations and then not showing up and cancelling at the last minute. I think you should not refund for cancellations. The recreation.Gov app is finally working better.
