Great spot, friendly campers, beautiful location. Plus there is a restaurant in Sierraville that has one of the best burgers I've had in a long time.

Cottonwood Creek is an often-overlooked gem of a campground. Located a short drive to Truckee/Lake Tahoe, Webber Lake/Perazzo Meadow and the Graeagle/Sierra Buttes/Lakes areas, Cottonwood Creek is a great location to use as a jumping point to enjoy the Tahoe National Forest and east Plumas National Forest. Most of the campsites are oversized giving a little elbow room between campers. Vault toilets are clean and serviced regularly and are as good as, well, vault toilets can be! Several sites will accommodate RV/trailers. While insects are present, in our experience they are minimal. And, this campground tends to be virtually empty during the week!There is a short trail at the back of the campground that climbs to a peak where the entrance to the Sierra Valley is visible - great one-hour hike. A nature trail loop provides information about the local trees and shrubs.Located conveniently off Hwy. 89, the only negative to this campground is the road noise, especially on the loop closest to the highway. The sites in the back loop are a bit more protected from the noise. We find the positives of this campground outweigh this one negative.Others may find the lack of cell phone service a second negative (we have Verizon) but a short drive to Sierraville (or one of the turnouts just a few minutes from the campground) provides enough service for checking in with the digital world back home.We always look forward to our time at Cottonwood Creek!
