Paddlers planning a run to Cypress Springs have a ready put-in at Cotton Landing, a free, reservation-only campground managed by the Northwest Florida Water Management District along the Choctawhatchee River. The site has three spots, each with a pavilion, fire ring, grill, and trash can. Sites sit close together, making this a better fit for smaller setups or tents than larger rigs. Two bars of Verizon 4G are reported. Note that the campground floods, so checking river levels before arrival is worth the effort. Holmes Creek Camping & RV Resort is a nearby option for campers who want hookups or more space between sites.
