CJ Strike Area - Cottonwood Park

CJ Strike Area - Cottonwood Park sits along the shores of CJ Strike Reservoir, operated by Idaho Power Company with sites ranging from $8-$75 per night. The utility-managed campground provides basic amenities including drinking water, restrooms, and picnic tables, with cell service available for those needing connectivity. Campers can access the reservoir directly from their sites, though summer temperatures climb quickly—one visitor noted waking to 90-degree heat by 8 AM in July. The campground allows pets and campfires, with trash service provided. Sand dunes lie just a couple miles down the road for additional recreation. Reservations are available, and generators may prove essential during hot weather months.

Cottonwood Camp

Not for the faint of heart in July without a generator. Woke up at 8am this morning and it's already 90 out. Decent sized spots. Right by the lake. Could be advertised as a weight loss spa because of the heat wave. But we're having fun regardless since the sand dunes are just a couple miles down the road.
