Cottonwood, Nebraska is a very nice place. The restrooms cleaned by Troy and Lori are super clean. Cleaned by other workers... Not So Much! The last time we were there the grass was really needing mowing, but I'm sure David has an excuse for this. Seems to know everything about parks, or so he thinks. Roads are paved but need to have the many potholes repaired and fixed. An RV might break an axle or at least a strong possibility. Chicken wire around small trees to repel the beavers, but trees are growing into the chicken wire. Nobody in management seems to care. Otherwise, this is truly a nice park. We stay here often.

We love camping there. Only place we do go to. Been going there for years. Always clean, mowed and looking good. Never seems loud or much traffic. Would recomend it to anyone (but don't want to, so too many don't go there). Great place to go.

Help protect your forests by purchasing near your camping destination and burning it on-site. Firewood is not available for sale on-site, however several local businesses sell firewood a short distance away, see the campground host or attendant for more information.
