Cottonwood Campground

It's unreal that this place is free. The sites are a little close together but there weren't many people there at the end of September and the changing leaves were spectacular!

Loved this place will definitely go back. Spacious and not too crowded. Lots of hiking spots!

This is the very first campground that you come across after transferring from blacktop to dirt road past all the private houses.  It lies a little over a mile up the road and is the smallest campground with only 2 campsites.  This makes it one of my favorite as it will seem you have the forest and the creek all to yourself!  Be warned that all of the campgrounds in the canyon do not supply water or trashcans so you'll need to bring all you need to drink as well as trash bags to haul out all of your garbage.  There was an interesting little dam on the east side of the campground and I scared a bunch of trout out from under it as I walked across so bring your fishing pole or fly rod if you want to!
