great! easy access from the 10, and one of the few campgrounds with water

This is a pull along site, it was a tight fit for our 35' 5th wheel in terms of width, but we managed. Site was spacious which provided a bit of privacy. There are no hookups. You have access to central water spigots and a dump station. You are in full sun.

I loved this campground for its dark sky. A reminder: THIS IS AN INTERNATIONAL DARK SKY PARK. DO NOT BRING EXTERIOR STRING LIGHTS ETC. LEAVE THEM AT HOME FOR YOUR HOUSE IN YOUR NON-DARK-SKY neighborhoods. The bathroom doesn't even have lights interior or out (bring your flashlight people) and there's a reason for this: it's a dark sky park and guess what? you'll see the most amazing sky here maybe in your entire life. Again: THIS IS AN INTERNATIONAL DARK SKY PARK. DO NOT BRING EXTERIOR STRING LIGHTS ETC. LEAVE THEM AT HOME FOR YOUR HOUSE IN YOUR NON-DARK-SKY neighborhoods. And turn your lanterns and exterior trailer lights off if you are not needing them for cooking, eating etc. Use the red lights on your flashlight (it takes 30 minutes for your eyes to adjust after being in white light). ENJOY! The coyote calls throughout night was also cool. And we saw a desert rat twice at our campfire (ran over my sister's foot - eeks!).

Lights in the bathrooms would be nice. Also the ability to be more flexible in changing locations, having access to internet to see if other options are available. Camp site was clean, as was the rest of the campground.

Great place for astrophotography, Bortle 2 site.

Hello, First time here in Cottonwood Campground and bathroom are clean (open 24 hrs). we're assign to B27. My girl's first time in Joshua Tree. We totally enjoy staying here. Thank you!

A very nice campground. The campground was quiet and the site was level. Amenities were very nice. If in the area, I would stay here again.

It would have been great but the people in the campground across from us were partying until 2:30 in the morning. We had to pick up our camp and move to another available site to get away from the loud music.

not crowded and quiet.

Spaces were very tight for our 25’ rv. To be fair we arrived at dark and it was cold so we didn’t spend any time outside. And we came to see Joshua Trees and they’re up north. So we left and toured the northern portion of the park. We enjoyed the park itself but would not choose Cottonwood campground again.

It was very fun. If you go in the winter make sure you bring enough firewood.
@MannyS291 · Camped on Dec 27, 2021 at Campsite #B27
This area is great for OHV and Jeep trail. 30 miles from the main area of Joshua Tree near the south-east border. Good for smaller vans, and tents. No good area for RV’s
@ThomasM798 · Camped on Dec 20, 2021 at Campsite #B27
Spacious, quiet, and beautiful!
@DarrellB253 · Camped on Nov 10, 2021 at Campsite #B27
Was great except for the 'free day' on Veteran's day we were not aware of, very busy in the park.
@TimD295 · Camped on Oct 13, 2021 at Campsite #B27
Perfect location for camping and star observation.
@TimP772 · Camped on Sep 20, 2021 at Campsite #B27
Visitor Center personnel were very helpful, park is well maintained, a very peaceful setting, parking for 30' trailer is parallel and a tight squeeze, slides outs may not have enough room for full extension, I would stay there again.
@HeidiR240 · Camped on Apr 14, 2021 at Campsite #B27
Traveling in a motorhome, we had expected to have access to fresh water at this campground. The water spigots were inconveniently located and in many cases did not have threads to hook up a hose to. Future campers, please note this difficulty in obtaining water at this location and make other arrangements prior to arrival. It would be nice if the park would reworking the faucet heads, or install a fresh water fill near the dump stations, as is typical in most parks.
@RosellaO971 · Camped on Mar 30, 2021 at Campsite #B27
Such a peaceful place.
@DavidM981 · Camped on Mar 25, 2021 at Campsite #B27
Nice campground, however in the spring it can be very windy.
@JonathanC720 · Camped on Mar 21, 2021 at Campsite #B27
It can be windy, but we had a great time. It's a very peaceful setting.
