Cottonwood Hot Springs Lodge and Campground
Reviewed Jun. 3, 2019

Odd camping area but great hot springs

We stayed at this site after a day of rafting in Browns Canyon. 

The tent site was really odd, right on top of the other sites with a drop off into the creek on one side and the road within inches of the tent area. We were camping in what looked like an old animal pen or chicken coop. It was expensive to camp here. $45 per person. That fee includes soaking in the hot springs but still for that much it would be nice to not feel like you are in the middle of a party town after a relaxing soak. 

The Hot springs however were beautiful. The pools varied in temps so you could go from one to another easily. They were large enough to fit a lot of people. There were even sun shades over them so you didn't roast in the Summer. 

One of the pools had a beautiful Indigenous woman statue overlooking the pool. All the pools seemed to be hand designed. 

There is a lodge and a women's dorm to stay in as well. I didn't get a chance to take a look at them inside but from the exterior, it looked a bit like they had been there a while. It truly is an original hot spring. 

I would recommend going to a day soak and checking it out.
