Cottonwood Campground (ND)

Happy with the site & location. The only downside was the restroom on our end of the campground was under reconstruction so had to walk to the other end of the loop to use the facilities.

Nice campground. I had a site that was relatively private (051). If I returned I'd shoot for the campsites that have views of the river. The bathroom facilities are new and very nice. I was close to a small trail with access to the river which is a nice little hike and room to walk the river bed. There were water fill stations throughout the CG, ours had standing water around it so not optimal.

Some nice pull-thru sites, some are very small and oddly spaced. No electric or water hookups, but water spigots are easy to find. Brand new bathroom building, but wish they’d put in showers.

The sites were nice enough. Our particular site was kind of cramped because we didn’t have a lot of options for where to put our tent. Then our dining fly was pretty much hitting into the trees, but because we couldn’t move the fire pit, that was the only way. Also, we didn’t know that the convenient bathroom we chose to camp near was going to be completely torn down. There weren’t even any portapotties in its place. We eventually found the nice newer bathrooms by the beginning of the loop but it was frustrating trying to get there in the dark got the first time when our bathroom should have been like 10 steps behind our tent. Otherwise, the campground was enjoyable.

We had site 3 reserved but ended up staying in a different site. Do not select this site unless you are tent camping! There is no room to park a motor home a trailer or a 5th wheel. The parking parallels a road but is not 11 ft wide like the description states. A tree encroached on that space allowing only 8 foot of room. The length of the parking is also incorrect as the 56 feet must be shared by site 3 and site 4. The Campground host Barb was aware of the problem and allowed us to select another unoccupied site. There were wild horses in the campsite and bison further up the park road. The Campground and park were very nice! However, do not believe the dimensions listed on the site. Even a class b would have difficulty setting up. We were fortunate to be able to change sites. If one had not been available our class c would have been partially in the road in order to open our side door.
