Cottonwood Campground offers a beautiful and peaceful experience with spacious, well-maintained sites and clean facilities. Many visitors enjoyed the close encounters with bison and the serene natural surroundings, making it a great spot for wildlife enthusiasts. While some noted issues with insects and site leveling, the overall atmosphere and friendly camp hosts contributed to a memorable stay.

There was no dump station, we had to go into town to another campground and pay to empty our tanks. Also, the 8am to 8 pm generator rule needs to be updated because of the excessive heat. Because of the excessive heat, our group of 3 rv’s only stayed for one night although we had reserved two nights.
On the plus side, the campground hosts were wonderful. Friendly, knowledgeable and helpful.

Very cool to be in a campground with Bison wandering around. The sites are good sized and the electric is well placed for access. The distance between sites is good enough, large sized campers fit well. There is a potable water station on the way in, but no dump on the way out, plan ahead.
We spent two nights at Cottonwood, the evenings were cool even though the days were in the 90"s.
