Great spot with spacious spaces in good proximity to the restroom. Definitely a long drive from the main part of the park but it had some great trails nearby.

Great campground at southern end of the park. Spot 23A was clean, spaced out from neighbors, near the bathrooms and water, and everyone was quiet and respectful even though there was no camp host present. Would stay here again!

Great campground

This campground did the job, and I'm glad it had running water, as most of the sites in Joshua Tree other than Black Rock and this one do not, but it felt very bare bones in the sense that there was no soap in the bathroom, no counter space for toiletries, and not even lights. If you go in the dark you must bring a headlamp or a flashlight of some sort or else you'll be doing it all in the dark!

NPS,is not keeping up with the changes in camping, over the last 5 years there has been a 62% increase in RV sales. The sites at Cottonwood barely fit average length RV, and could easily modify to accept most. The sites are too restricted I.e. with the large stones and makes parking difficult. Or dangerous if you need an example of good sites look at the Valley of Fire, Atari Rock campground.

Great camping ground

The good is that the camp host was great and the location was very secluded. The bad, The sites are in need of maintenance and are right on the road so extending the slide outs are a problem. Cell service is nonexistent so don’t have an emergency. Cottonwood has the potential to be a great camping location with full hookups but sadly lacks the development.

Loved the park and every other campground - cottonwood was the most expensive and the worst one!

The campsite was fine, but, having a 25’ class c RV, it was difficult getting level. We used all the leveling blocks we had and still were short of level and tried from one end of the site to the other. As a tent site or if you have leveling jacks your good. The park was peaceful, the site was separated enough, the star’s were great and the hiking trail from the park loop was good. The campground is a good 30 minutes south of jumbo rocks, skull rock and other campgrounds.

Well kept trails. Very well kept camp ground.

Ridiculous to call this a campground with spots slightly wader than the tiny road. Couldn’t possibly fit into any of the spots
Paid for two nights and could use none.
