Just to let you all know cottonwood is a great campground, but the reservation.gov stinks and is frustrating. If you agree contact the Corp and let them know we want good people with great work ethic not people that could care less.

The fire pot to the north was right under our bedroom window. Not desirable. If the big tree to the back of that site is removed, the fire pot should be moved back further.

not a very spacious campsite, not real level, and kind of noisy from where it is located.

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.
