Cottonwood Campground was a wonderful experience for my family and our friends. The campsites were clean and most were situated by the river. It was peaceful and refreshing. The camp host was very hospitable and friendly when we had questions. Would definitely love to visit again!

Great shall campground with most sites right on the river. Close to a little so where you can get ice and other stuff you might have forgotten to take. Had a friendly host. Fire wood was expensive. Great for tent camping. Nice separation between camp sites.

Really good spot. Stay out of 15 if the forecast is calling for wind. Go for 13 or 12.
5 is a huge open spot or 6 and 7 are decent too. All the other spots aren’t great. Parks clean. Well kept. No wood for sale. There is no camp host.
No river bank to sit on.
No swimming hole.
So not a lot of traffic. Perfect. No cell phone service.
One water service there. Near the entrance. It’s a small park. Sites 1-3 are near the front and very close to the highway.
4 is decent. Worth the money to stay here.

It is such a cute campground on the river. Some of the sites are very small, luckily it wasn't full and we were able to move from the one we had reserved. Only bummer was the water wasn't working. It was uncovered but nothing was flowing from it.

Campsite was gorgeous, campground as a whole was quiet and well-maintained. Camp host was helpful when we wanted to switch from our reserved site to a nicer one that was not reserved. A beautiful spot to relax by the river!
