We were at site 47 in the cottonwood campground. Nice site backing up to the wilderness and river. No fire pits. Nice bathroom but no showers.

Loved this campground. Easy pull through sites. Lots of room and privacy. Rest room was nice.

I stayed at site 47. Back in parking was challenging but it was a good site. I had decent Verizon coverage the bathrooms were clean. I never interacted or even saw any rangers. In the evening I saw wild horses across the River and in the morning a Bison was meandering through the campground.

The animal experiences alone were enough to make Cottonwood campground amazing!

We could walk to the river from our spot. The wild horses were hanging out by the river. Bathrooms were nice and new. Overall a good campground especially for the reasonable price.

We camped in space 47 the first weekend in May which backed up to the river. The wildlife was out everywhere. I thought maybe it was because it was early in the camping season (less people). Our site was perfect. The day we arrived, the wild horses were right across the river by late afternoon and were there for a couple hours…as were the bison! For a couple nights we heard coyotes, owls, and wild turkeys. We did have a bison graze right through our site but we stayed quiet and let him go on by! What an experience. Just need to always remember give them room…even if you are sitting in your tent! Don’t get up for a photo op! Stay put and quiet. Even tho the loop through the park didn’t go all the way around due to the coal vein fire, there was still a lot to see and the trails were not crowded. We were there for 4 days & 3 nights and that was perfect. We will be returning for sure! Hopefully when the musical is open for the season!

Campground in nice area, support facilities were very good. However, I think campground needs to make major investment in providing elevated tent pads for tent campers, especially in those sites most suitable to tents. Due to wear and tear, many sites have poor water drainage making it difficult to pitch a tent to avoid drainage due to rainstorms and resulting 'sticky' mud. In many respects this campground is way behind in catering to tent camping. Same situation, to lesser extent, occurs in the north Juniper Campground.

Beautiful campsite along the river with friendly hosts

Beautiful site. The bathrooms were a bit of a hike, but worth it! We can’t wait to come back and visit our prairie dog pals.
