About this campground

Escape the crowds and discover a hidden gem where solitude meets natural beauty. This intimate campground offers just a handful of carefully placed sites for adventurous souls seeking an authentic wilderness experience. Tucked away from the well-worn tourist trails, this secluded retreat rewards those willing to venture beyond the ordinary with unparalleled tranquility and a genuine connection to nature.
Cottonwood Flat Campground accommodates a small number of sites, appealing primarily to minimalist, primitive campers due to its remote location and lack of amenities.
Natural Features and SceneryPicture waking up to the gentle whisper of meadow grasses swaying in the morning breeze, your tent nestled at the edge of an expansive wildflower-dotted clearing. This remote sanctuary borders a pristine meadow where wildlife roams freely and the landscape stretches endlessly beneath open skies. The untouched surroundings create a photographer's paradise and a naturalist's dream, offering intimate encounters with the raw beauty of the backcountry.
