Water enthusiasts can access creek and river areas from this US Forest Service campground in the Apalachicola National Forest. Cotton Landing operates year-round with basic toilet facilities, though campers should plan to pack out trash as collection can be inconsistent. The dirt road leading to the site provides an opportunity to gather firewood while avoiding ticks that concentrate in wooded areas. Bathrooms receive adequate maintenance according to recent visitors. For those seeking additional amenities, Wright Lake Campground offers more developed facilities about six miles southeast.
