Cottonwood Grove Campground

Nestled among mature cottonwood trees along the banks of the Gunnison River, Cottonwood Grove Campground offers a serene, primitive escape in the heart of the Colorado Rocky Mountains. This quiet BLM site is ideal for those looking to unplug and reconnect with nature. With only six available campsites, guests can enjoy a peaceful atmosphere and easy access to the water, making it a perfect spot for a tranquil getaway under the canopy of the river valley.

The campground is well-equipped for basic needs, featuring fire rings and picnic tables at each site, along with a shared vault toilet. A unique highlight of this location is the non-motorized boat ramp and the ADA-accessible fishing pier, providing excellent opportunities for anglers and paddlers to enjoy the river. The presence of an ADA-accessible site ensures that this beautiful riverside location remains inclusive for all outdoor enthusiasts.

Cottonwood Grove is best suited for tent campers and self-contained RV travelers who appreciate a rustic, off-the-grid experience. Because the sites are free and available on a first-come, first-served basis with a seven-day stay limit, it is a fantastic destination for spontaneous travelers seeking an authentic Colorado wilderness experience. Whether you are casting a line or simply enjoying the shade, this site provides a classic riverside retreat.
