Cottonwood (Big Bend, TX)

Cottonwood was a treat. Nice clean bathrooms and great service from campground hosts. I was traveling with my dog so I was unable to hike on trails but spent hours walking on the gravel roads- River road, Glen Springs and the Old Ore road. I spent too much time in the car because to see the whole park required I do a lot of driving. I had three days in the park. My advice is to stay longer so you can spend more time relaxing and still see it all in its amazing beauty.

Wonderful, quiet campground along the Rio Grande. The bathrooms were spotless, and the campsites were well spaced apart. Loved it.

Cottonwood campground is in a stunning location right on the Rio Grande. While not convenient to the Chisos basin area (it's about a 1hr drive) there are still plenty of great hikes to do and its close to the Santa Elena canyon which should not be missed!

This is a very pretty campground, and nice for tent camping, which we do. A big plus is that generators aren't allowed, so though there are lots of trailers and RVs, they are all compact, and the sort of ones that are used by people with less stuff and noise. Most of the sites have at least some shade, which is pretty important in this location, especially when during the hotter months.

Great campground with many places to explore nearby!

Our group of 4 had a great time. Not sure we would stay at Cottonwood. We preferred to be at RGV, however could not get a spot there. My biggest complaint was the showers were not working. They are very much needed for some. We still enjoyed the park and had many great hikes and made lots of memories. Thanks

11th year I've stayed here. First time I've needed reservations.

It was rainy with lots of puddles. It took me days to get the mud off my shoes and it was difficult to get the mud out of my car too. The campground is nice when not wet.
