Cottonwood Flat Campground

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Within Modoc National Forest, Cottonwood Flat Campground provides basic facilities for RV and tent campers in northeastern California's high country. The US Forest Service manages this established campground with standard amenities including vault toilets and picnic tables at each site. RV length restrictions limit rigs to 16 feet maximum, making this spot more suitable for smaller travel trailers and truck campers than large motorhomes.

Pet owners can bring their dogs to explore the surrounding forest roads and trails. The campground sits 27 miles from Alturas, requiring advance planning for supplies and fuel. For those traveling with pets, this location connects to other pet-friendly campgrounds around Modoc National Forest throughout the region.

Quiet campsite

Quiet campsite. Was the only one here on 7/4/26. One vehicle drove by. Surrounding area of Cottonwood flat was burned so a lot of down trees around but road is accessible and so are campsites(6 campsites I believe). Small stream/meadow near campsites with tables and rock fire rings. There is a restroom but did not check it out.
