Cottonwood Group Campground

Large, spacious, and somewhat private group campsites. Each site is large enough for around a dozen tents scattered among the shrubs. There's a large picnic area with an overhang, a water pump, and a firepit. A berm and nearby hills protect you from the wind. Be vigilant of mice.

We stayed in group site number one which had four picnic tables under an awning, a pump for getting water right nearby, and a big fire ring with a grille that can be folded over on top of your coals. There was plenty of space for tents.

Good location to check Milky Way Bathroom and tap water in the campsite are very convenient

While this campground is far from all the climbing in the park, it offers a more quiet and relaxed park experience. There are actually some trad climbing and bouldering nearby this campground but you just have to explore a little to get to them.

This is not the correct address for the Cottonwood group campground. The campground is located south of the park near Cottonwood Visitor Center.
