Quiet campground hidden up in the canyon. Nice access down to see the creek.

To be honest I was not a fan of this campsite. We booked site 5 which had no where for a tent without being on top of our neighbor. We ended up driving up the road and staying at a better more open site. Beware of lots of snakes at this site too.

Great campground. Loved this place for my family. Each site has a picnic table and fire ring. We were lucky to be close to a water spout as well.

I stayed a night in the empty campground on 09/14/24 on my way from AZ to WY. I left my campsite to go to town for some supplies. I came back to the site and noticed that a box with two cans of bear spray, a hatchet, a rubber mallet, and more was stolen. It was probably $200 worth of supplies. I talked to the camp hosts to see if they saw anything, but one was totally avoiding me and the other seemed dumbfounded. Neither asked if I wanted to file a report. The dumbfounded one said, “I did not even know there was such a thing as bear spray.” To me, both were weird and evasive interactions. I had stayed here previously two years ago but would not trust to stay here again. I canceled my return reservation on 09/21/24 and am losing my $33 payment.

Secluded campground and site. #1 is spacious for two tents. Lots of drive in room. Far from the one bathroom. Beautiful scenery. Fairly clean bathrooms. Clean sites.

Little Cottonwood on the Beaver River is an excellent camping experience. The sites are clean and very private thanks to the junipers, pines and oaks. The host keeps the entire campground spotless, especially the rest room. During our stay the camp was relatively uncrowded and it was very quiet. There is a road nearby (which makes for easy access) but the traffic noise was rarely noticed. All in all, this is one of our favorite spots.

The area is beautiful however the sites them selves are advertised as River Front, they’re actually a walk away from them, and it’s more of a creek than a river. The bathrooms specifically the women’s were horrible. We left in the early morning as it was simply too uncomfortable to deal with. This is a “I’m passing through for the night” campsite not a “stay for the weekend” campsite
