Cottonwood Lake Campground offers 25 first-come, first-served sites on a gently sloping hillside surrounded by aspen trees, within walking distance to the lake and popular with anglers.

The campground operates May-September ($22/night), features picnic tables and restrooms, but has no potable water so visitors must bring their own; dispersed camping is available along County Road 344 if the campground is full.

Dogs must be leashed, and the maximum occupancy is eight people with two tents and two vehicles (or one RV) per site.
