This campground is still dry camping but nicer than the other one. Still not impressed with Big Bend National Park. Won't go back.

Great location for hiking Santa Elena Canyon (a highlight of our trip). The campground in early April was a birdwatchers paradise.

Wonderful location. There was a mix up with our site reservation and someone else occupying it, but campground host was very helpful and assigned us another site for the night. Vault toilets were clean and drinking water was available. Would definitely stay there again!

Truck Tent Camping Review: Great site in Big Bend, recommend brining a bicycle as any hiking trails are 4-9 miles away.Also bathrooms have no running water...so bring soap & water or sanitizer wipes.Lotta cool birds in the area, including a very social Roadrunner.

Perfect location for visiting Southwest corner of the park. Staff were welcoming and very helpful. Be sure to reserve BEFORE arriving as cell service is limited

Cottonwood campground was fantastic. Sits right on the Rio Grande. No generators!
