Ranger Jean watching over the campground deserves accolades for being informative, kind, and thoughtful!

Site 30 is my new favorite site. Lots of javelina visits.

Cottonwood is a very comfortable campground. Setting up a tent in the wide, soft, grassy areas is easy. The vault restrooms are clean and - shockingly - smell good! Groups stay at the end of the campground and can be noisy at night.

Well-spaced sites at this campground. Number 30 has shade over the bear box and picnic table from mid-afternoon on, which was appreciated in the heat of late April. The only knock I have on Cottonwood is that if anyone arrives late at night or leaves very early, the entire campground hears the vehicle

The facilities are as described, clean pit toilets a threaded faucet for non potable water and a limited faucet of potable water suitable to fill a hiking bottle.
Our camp host was a rather humorless creepy guy who drove round the campground late into the night giving us the feeling we were judged guilty of I know not what. Not the off grid wilderness one hopes for.

This is a beautiful and quiet campground. Much smaller and less crowded than the other two. The view is great, and it has a good location at the southwest corner of the park. Just beware of the trees overhead - many of them are in poor condition.
