We love how peaceful this campground is and the proximity to the lakes and Yankton, if needed. The sites are very nice and the shade is a plus.

Stayed 6 nights over the 4th of July weekend. I LOVED this campground and the area. I bike and kayak so I was able to do both right from the campground. Multiple times I biked around the lake, over to the other campgrounds, to the fish hatchery and into town (where I rode over the historic bridge). The SD state park had some event that I participated in as well. On the 4th, I, along with others, went up on the dam and watched the fireworks which were being shot off from multiple locations.

When we got there the neighboring camp pad had their vehicle parked on part of our pad. They were also plugged into our pedestal. The partial tree at the enterance of pad made for an interesting back up, especially in the dark. Our view out of the camper was the neighboring cars(3) and tents(2) and trailers.

Cottonwood is part of a busy recreation area along the Missouri River. In spite of the density, the overall experience is very good due to the management of the several campgrounds right next to each other, and the beautiful setting. If you are looking for isolation, it is not here, but the clearly marked campgrounds and cleanliness of the area provide lovely access to the River.
