Rustic Cottonwood Camp

9 m Class C ·

Electric & Water (30AMP)

The grounds are ok. It’s a campground. The public bathrooms and showers are old and dirty. They work. It’s a rustic experience. The shop is open a couple hours a day, but when the Sargent isn’t managing it he is available by cell phone. No strict supervision. The running water next to the campground is a canal. Not a creek you can walk in.

Pitch Tent

The place was roomy, able to accommodate any kind of camping setup. Level ground, fairly quiet, and not far from water.

Pitch Tent

Welcoming staff, beautiful location. About 1/2 mile walk/drive to fish on the Bighorn. I fished both spinning tackle and beginner fly rod, had success on both. Local guides are excellent and would recomend.

Near the Little Big Horn River

Electric & Water (30AMP)

It was a great fishing camp that even had a fly shop! There is plenty of shade, and the spots are substantial. Unfortunately, the fly shop was not open while we were there, but we plan to return and take advantage of some great fishing next year and will likely try this fishing camp again. The two bath/shower rooms are similar to what you likely have at home, with a sink, shower, and toilet. The restrooms could have used a good cleaning and some paint, but I have seen much worse. They will likely get a bit busy during the high season with only two showers & bathrooms for what looks to be thirty to forty campsites. This camp is not right on the river. It is a little over a mile away, but it didn't seem to be an issue for those who were there to fish the river.

Pitch Tent

Well located place and big campground. However, the tents area was close to the entrance road and a bit annoying at night with cars coming back late at night. In addition, the toilets were not so clean and their condition could be much better.
