Excellent location. Clean restrooms. Sites are well designed. Ranger talk in amphitheater was very good. Thank you!

The park is beautiful, but the campsites are very small and close together. No privacy. My site was next to the dumpster and the noise from the truck scared my pets. Sadly I was not allowed to walk my dogs on a path, so had to use the road and cars sped by without slowing down.

Drop in for over nite. Easy to fine site, clean restrooms and campsite.

We stayed for one night on a drive from Tucson to LA. It was absolutely perfect. The campground was quiet and the views were breathtaking. The bathrooms were clean as well. We will definitely stay again!

Nice campground! We stayed in a tent cabin which was quite nice. We had both a fan and small heater. The weather was cold so the tent was a plus. There is a small store and the campground made it convenient to explore the park. Our tent had 30 amp electric so that was a major plus as well as WiFi. The bed wasnt great but better than a camp mattress. We enjoyed the Adirondack chais to sit in after dark. The restrooms werent super close but the showers near the office were wonderful- nice hot water. I would stay here again - we recommend if you want to hike the park.

Beautiful days and stunning clear dark skies at Cottonwood Campground laid the foundation for an epic weekend getaway for hiking, bouldering, and stargazing. Clean sites, clean restrooms, and plenty of running water.

A bit far from the rest of the stuff in the park, but the Campground is great.

I liked the campground. The location is beautiful. We had A08; it was a little hard to figure out where to put the tent, it was pretty close to the restrooms. We figured it out and had a nice time.

Other campers were quiet and respectful at this site. Clean flush restrooms and available water was helpful. No cell service, which was also a nice break

I had some questions prior to coming and the staff were so helpful and responsive. I really appreciated that!
The area was gorgeous. This is the darkest part of the park so great for star gazing. No lights inside the bathroom so make sure to bring a lantern.

Nice campground. Bathrooms were kept clean and having a bathroom and running water was great (for this old backpacker).
Only hitch, we booked over a weekend, and someone else booked the same saturday night.
Heard someone else talk about the same thing happening.

Camping area too close to each other

Great campground. A bit far from some of the sights but lots of great views, some hiking trails, one to an abandoned mine.
