Cottonwood Campground Wyoming

The site is somewhat remote with a 10(+) mile drive along a rough gravel road.  Once you get into the treeline it's becomes very scenic especially in the fall with the Aspens turning colors.  Great campsites with tables and fire rings set along a mountain stream.

Set several miles from the highway down a gravel road. If using a gps do not turn into the grass path, there’s an actual gravel road about another 200 feet or so. The gravel road leading into it can be quite narrow.

Absolutely stunning site. There’s a stream that runs through some of the campsites (they have bridges over it). You pay (self register, $6 a night) on site (first come first serve so take a quick spin to find an open spot before registering). The bulletin board where you do this is a ways into the camp but impossible to miss.

I went in October and it was very cold at night. Also lots of hunters there for Antelope. I didn’t get to poke around as much as I wanted as I had no orange clothing with me. 

The spots were shady and it was not crowded at all. There were only about 5 other groups at the campground. You could even walk down to the lake. It got a bit windy at night. This campground is also nearby Devil’s Tower Nat’l Monument, which is a can’t miss if you’re in this area of Wyoming.
