We like the covered patios, and all 3 utilities are available.Easy to get into our spots.

Considering the high lake water levels before/during our visit the campsite/campground were in remarkably good shape and all hookup amenities in working order.My appreciation to the park staff for having the campground safe to occupy and fully operational.

The grass wasn't mowed and there were about 200 spiders in our camp area, other than that the lake is great
@KristinB130134 · Camped on Jun 13, 2025 at Campsite #109
The grass is not mowed around the campsites but it is overall quiet.
@CindyF6787661 · Camped on Jun 13, 2025 at Campsite #108
Grass has not been mowed for weeks. So tall. Couldnt let dogs out. Couldnt get to fire pit due to weeds. Not just our site, whole campground Campground is awesome, just not the unmowed weeds
@LauraC7322672 · Camped on Jun 12, 2025 at Campsite #37
Camper park place so unlevel we had to use all 12 of our lifts +two 2x8s and the grass was so tall and full of weeds, had not been mowed probably the worst camping spot weve ever had The only consolation was the weather was great and the thrift store, ETC in Hillsboro and Marion auxiliary thrift stores. Were both really great.

Two of the shade trees are dead, so there is minimal shade in the afternoons. Good water access for fishing or canoe/kayak launching. Good fire pit and nice to have the awning over the table, bring wasp spray in case they have built nests though. No issues with utilities. Required 1-2 blocks to level on the low side.
@KellyC6920636 · Camped on Jun 6, 2025 at Campsite #108
The campground is getting very run down. 2 of the 4 shower houses/bathrooms are locked up and one of them has been for over a year and 1 of the showers in another bath house is out of order. Grass is very high, the shelter over the picnic table was rotting out.
@TrentMD0AC7339 · Camped on Jun 6, 2025 at Campsite #159
We love coming to Cottonwood Point because the sites and there nice spacious grassy areas. Its unfortunate that the grass has not been mowed recently.
@AndreEA06FD336 · Camped on Jun 6, 2025 at Campsite #84
Site was clean and maintained decent. Water and electric worked fine during our stay. With recent rains water was up to the bank right behind the campsite. We had a great time. Plenty of space between other campers.
@ArnoldL0F951E8 · Camped on Jun 2, 2025 at Campsite #48
Very nice looking lake and nice campground, restrooms and showers were good.
@TerryT5FBC0D5C · Camped on May 31, 2025 at Campsite #126
Enjoyed the Camping location very much. Lake is Beautiful and very accessible for fishing.
@ArnetteD14F515 · Camped on May 30, 2025 at Campsite #161
Quite friendly people around !
@DorothyL5869D7 · Camped on May 26, 2025 at Campsite #85
We love it here but needed the bathrooms to be fixed and cleaned.
@DarrenNE2DAB76 · Camped on May 23, 2025 at Campsite #143
Nice campground, great lake. Enjoyed our time there.
@PatrickHAF1EB5 · Camped on May 22, 2025 at Campsite #33
Great spot
@charylb5E5F3DB · Camped on May 22, 2025 at Campsite #117
This location is well maintained restrooms are clean and bug free very easy to park in
@JessicaW627491 · Camped on May 21, 2025 at Campsite #84
The boat ramps had nice pull up docks. I wish they would renovate the playground though! It's very run down.
@JOLYNNM1773802 · Camped on May 18, 2025 at Campsite #33
Large, clean, shaded, mowed, waterfront spot with water and electricity. Right across from bathroom/showers but they were out of order. Same last year. It would be a perfect score if the bathrooms were open.
@JeremyS8080381 · Camped on May 15, 2025 at Campsite #47
Nice spot with a long easy entrance from the main road. Nice sized lot, with a small spot to access the water. Water level outside this spot is only a couple feet deep so boat access would be limited to canoes, kayaks, Jon boats etc. Theres decent shade most of the day, Id say 4pm till sundown you are hidden behind some trees. There was a lot of poison ivy all over the shoreline and under a lot of the trees so be cautious if you have kids, dogs or allergic to it. There is a bathhouse within walking distance but I would rather drive to the nice shower houses in the full hookup side which is just down the road.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
