Cottonwood Campground - Naches River (WA)

Campground was very pretty and has a lot of potential. Our hosts were pleasant and helpful. Unfortunately we left early for several reasons.

The sites and campground were well maintained, except for the trees. Our campsite was surrounded by trees with many dead branches, which was a safety concern even without the high winds during our stay.

The other issue to be mindful of if you are tent camping is the bright lights that shine into the campsites from 12 and up. Our hosts said it's from a government owned facility adjacent to the campground but the lights are bright enough to illuminate the shoreline opposite the campground.

Our main reason for leaving early was the disruptive group of children allowed to stay alone at the campsite opposite ours. They started yelling and running through the campground and our site at 6am, hit our car at one point, and had no supervision from their parents who stayed in a completely different area at the campground. They were progressively worse throughout the day and would not stay our of our space even though there were multiple empty creekside sites they could have used for water access. We understand you don't get much privacy in campgrounds like this but we do expect that quiet hours will be observed and people will stay out of occupied sites.

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!

Campsite was perfect for my family camping trip. Hosts were very friendly. Campsite was everything we were looking for

Good spot, enough for a bigger family like ours. We have 6. Wasn’t by the water however you can access water view through other campsites if not occupied.

Camp site 16 had excellent privacy. Camp hosts were pleasant. Pit toilets were clean and odor free.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Worlds best HOST!!! They made our stay a million times better!!
