Common vegetation in the area includes cottonwood, pinion, juniper and Ponderosa pine trees. This campground is open to ATV use. On the northwest corner of the campground is an ATV trail that will take you around the hill to access the Pauite ATV 01 trail. This trail leaves directly from the campground to the Main Paiute ATV trail in Dry Canyon, then south to Big Johns Flat and ultimately to Circleville. Big Johns Flat and Circleville are only accessible from this area from late July to the first of October due to snow drifts in the upper elevations. Another trail goes north to the Pahvant Range and Fillmore.

    Overview

    The Little Cottonwood Campground is conveniently located off Utah's I-15, adjacent to the Beaver River just outside of the community of Beaver in the Fishlake National Forest. At 6,500 feet in elevation, this is a great place to enjoy the mountains where recreation opportunities include stream fishing, hiking, and hunting.

    Recreation

    Enjoy fishing in the Beaver River; an accessible fishing path is located within the campground. The Piute ATV Trail is nearby; however there is no access directly from the campground. Be prepared to trailer ATVs to the nearby trailheads for access. Nearby Cottonwood Trail is a horse and foot trail that is accessed through the lower part of Cottonwood Campground.

The Fishlake National Forest offers spectacular vistas and opportunities to view wildlife in their natural habitat.

    Simple but Comfortable

    No room in RV site for tent so moved to grassy tent site. Most sites appear to be occupied by long term rentals. Host was very friendly and helpful in accommodating my needs.

    Good high elevation CG at Fishlake

    Large campgrounds in area including this one. Camped in September (Doctor Creek CG up road was closed). Quiet, clean. End of tourist season and so couple of nearby stores were selling out their ice cream--Got giant couple of scoops in a bowl. For water/boaters & fishing, mainly, typically sold out during summer. Sites go in rows inching up-slope and some have nice views of lake.

    Little out of the way gem

    Stayed 6/1-4 in space 9. Very shady campground and campsite. Creek runs thru but not by this site. Only 1 vault toilet for the family campground, so walked over to Group site toilets which were cleaner. One trail out of camp to Rock Canyon but it was fairly steep and rocky so didn't do much of it. Did walk up and down paved road into camp and then on dirt roads off main road that had a few FCFS dry camp pull out areas along the creek. Campsites well spaced many with good views of valley or the red rock cliffs. No ATVs allowed in campground. Spaces 15 and 20 were also good, 10 is double size but same price with large drive and nice views to red cliffs. Camp host unobtrusive.

    Would be great during fall colors. Saw some bear scat on trail closer to I-70

    Just needed to find a place for the night and this was perfect! No one around, huge site, beautiful views and free! Cows meander around the campsite..didn't bother us. If you go past where the directions take you, there are 3 or 4 spots that are also nice. Road is easy to travel.

    Trashy

    The previous review said there were trash cans, however the is only one. It is location inside the volt toilet. The previous review also stated that this camp ground was close too the green county fairgrounds, but its name is the Beaver county camp grounds. Besides the one trash can, there are no water facilities and a weak Verizon service. The litter is Unbearable, both at the camp ground as well as the Beaver county fair grounds. You would think that the locals don’t have a very high regard for them selfs. I will pickup trash around my campsite but it won’t hardly matter I bet. “Please prove me wrong”

    Cathedral Valley Campground — Capitol Reef National Park

    Beautiful and away from the crowds

    This campground has like 5 spots. A short walk to amazing views. Pit toilet and that is all. The campground was clean - people have done a really good job of packing out their trash. The road in and out requires high clearance for sure. I would not do it with 2WD or AWD. It is worth it if you have a capable vehicle.

    Great spot close to Capitol Reef National Park

    Numerous spots along the road. Some are very well shaded while others have lots of sun.

    This spot is large and shaded. Rock fire pit. There’s currently fire restrictions so we didn’t have a fire but we set up a nice little sitting area around the fire with logs we found in the forested area.

    There is a mama bear and cub in the area although we didn’t see her.

    Weather is cooler than in Capitol Reef so it’s a nice place to recharge and escape the heat.

    Lots of firewood in close vicinity so no need to bring any in with you (check for fire restrictions before).

    Would definitely come back here.

    If you follow the road all the way up you can access Cathedral Valley Campground (great views from up there)

    Remember to pack out your garbage.

    Great hidden gem

    Great spot for a stay overnight! Although there isn’t water, there is a clean outhouse to use.

    We loved the spot we had which was equipped with a picnic table and fire ring (all sites have this).

    The views from being so high up are great. That being said the wind can get a little crazy at night so roll up those awnings before bed.

    Road in is a little bumpy (we came from Highway 72) but it was a beautiful drive.

    Great camping spot

    We spent 3 nights here right along the reservoir and it was great. Although it was “busy” there was plenty of space between us an our neighbours.

    We rock a rooftop tent so it was easy to level. Bugs were minimal during the day. Mosquitos ramp up at night but they didn’t seem to want anything to do with us.

    Saw plenty of people fishing during the day.

    There are washrooms nearby but they aren’t super close to all camping areas.

    Small out of the way campground

    This nice little campground is located between Minersville reservoir and the Green County fairgrounds, just west of Beaver Utah, on state road 21. It is small and access is somewhat tight, but we were able to get our 32-foot C-Class in easily enough and campsite 1 accommodated us beautifully. 

    Pros: There is a picnic table in a concrete floored, covered patio with a trash can and BBQ grills which is setting within a few feet of a small running stream. Beautiful and quiet for just $12.00 a night. 

    Cons: Lots of very tiny gnats that were so small they got through our window screens, so we had to minimize our external lighting, and close the windows and shades after dark.

    Parking Lot Hook Up Site

    This is in the back of the Loves Travel Center. It has 2 super nice dog parks that are fenced in.

    It is loud since it’s in a gas station parking lot. Back in site only. All cement pads no sitting areas or places to be outside. Kind of weird cause people can just walk through and use the dog park around your RV.

    People park in the RV spots. Not a secured location. Stopped here to sleep on our drive home. Left before dark.

    No RV park showers or laundry facilities. Pay extra for the Truck stop showers (did not use)

    Easy to find, small spaces, empty on a weekday

    We pulled in after sunset to stop before going all the way north to SLC. The road was pretty doable in our truck, but it think it would be easy in a sedan too. There was a roundabout at the coordinates and another van was there, but there looked to be 3-4 more small spots for tents or vans. Not sure how many could accommodate a bigger rig. Lots of bugs, none biting. About a 7-10 min drive to the freeway. No freeway noise though. Some broken glass and trash, but nothing unexpected.

    My InBetween Stop

    I stayed here one night while traveling from Vail, CO to Zion National Park. No Services around (except 1 toilet), but a beautiful open landscape with sweeping views. I parked along the lake, and marvelled as the night sparkled. I believe most rigs can access this location (all flat).

    I believe it was 3hrs to Zion (probably the same if you wanted to drop down into Bryce) This was definitely off the "beaten path". Very few vehicles were passing on Route 72 (runs south from I-70).

    Pleasantly Surprised

    Beautiful scenery and just right outside of town. Very easy to access for most. I did see an RV camping but it had to be a bit more difficult for them. There are several established places to camp with beautiful views. Very private. Great for mountain biking

    Easy to get to from the I-15

    This wasn't where we planned to camp but got too tired to drive any further. We are in a Toyota Camry and just hammocking. This spot worked out nicely. There was someone in the actual place of the coordinates. But we found a spot near by.
