Reviews
Cottonwood Springs Lake campground is a small, quiet, and scenic place with clean facilities and friendly hosts. It offers basic amenities such as flush toilets and picnic areas near a lake, but lacks RV hook-ups and designated tent pads. Visitors appreciate the peacefulness, helpful staff, and proximity to local attractions, though some found the campsites cramped with limited shade and challenging access for larger rigs.

Excellent location and excellent, very friendly staff. Enough off the highway to keep noise down. Easy walk down to the lake. It was a little eerie that no one was there in early August. No RV hook-ups, but easy access to town of Hot Springs for supplies.

Nice quiet campground. Please don't cut down any more trees... we like the trees! Electric hookups would be a plus. Still enjoy boondicking here though.

We liked that it was a small campground, 'tucked away in the woods,' so-to-speak. The bathroom facilities & trash facilities were decent. And it was fun having the dam & lake with a shaded picnic area & walking path just a little ways from the campground so we had a nice, scenic place to take our dogs for a walk every day. Had to drive there, but at least it wasn't too far from the campground. (Too bad there weren't camping spots in That particular area.) But we had a very difficult time Trying to navigate our 5th wheel camper and truck into our camping spot, with the other camping spots/campers close to ours. At least ours & (some of the) parking spots were at challenging angles. It took several tries to be able to finally get our camper & truck totally off the street & into our spot.
