About This Campsite
Cottonwood Campground
Nestled alongside the serene Platte River, Cottonwood Campground is known for its picturesque views and tranquil atmosphere. This site offers a pleasant retreat for campers seeking a peaceful getaway amidst nature. With its ample shade and easy access to the river, it's a great spot for both relaxation and exploration.
Key Features
- A mix of parallel paved sites and river's edge spots provide options for various camping preferences.
- The campground is shaded with large sites, making it easy for campers to park without the hassle of backing in.
- Access to clean, albeit slightly dated, shower and bathroom facilities.
- Electric hookups available with 20, 30, and 50 amp service.
Things to Consider
- Due to ongoing construction in summer 2023, campers may encounter areas with sand piles and site flooding.
- The water spigot may not be operational; plan to refill water tanks at the Day Use Area if necessary.
- Reservations must be made only 30 days in advance, which might require planning, especially if booking multiple sites together.
- Some of the river's edge sites may be very sandy, which could affect accessibility and comfort.
User Tips
- Spot 124 is recommended, and pulling in the opposite way could enhance your camping experience by having your door face the grass instead of the road.
- Families with children might enjoy the abundance of frogs in the area, perfect for exploration and play.
Overall, Cottonwood Campground offers a charming escape with its beautiful scenery and accommodating layout. While there are some challenges due to construction and water access, its inviting environment and friendly community atmosphere make it a worthwhile destination for nature lovers. Planning ahead and considering the tips above can help ensure a delightful camping experience.

I recommend other campgrounds like Oak Grove or Goldenrod, which have traditional back-in with more privacy and easier access. CONS: The side pull-in entires here are awkward here, unless you want the river's edge sites, which are VERY sandy. The water spigot was blocked off with a chain so we had to decamp and drive over to Day Use Area to refill water tanks. Campground is also under construction in summer 2023 so lots of big piles of sand to navigate bikes around, and several sites are flooded. PROS: quiet campground and very nice neighbors, lots of frogs for kids to catch, nice view of Platte River.

This is a very nice camp ground, the state staff have been very nice. The showers/bathrooms are old but clean.

Very nice campground. Lots of shade, big sites easy to park in parallel paved sites, no need to back in. Clean shower house. 20, 30, 50 amp power. We are planning to go back there. Reservations are only taken 30 days in advanced, an inconvenience when we need 3 sites together and we are coming in from multiple states.

Great Experience! Will definitely be coming back. We loved our spot 124 and highly advise to pull in the wrong way so your door is on the grass and not the road!
