Cottonwood Campground - SLRD

Nestled at an elevation of 6,073 feet in the heart of South Willow Canyon, Cottonwood Campground offers a peaceful retreat within the scenic Stansbury Range. This federal campground is a hidden gem for those looking to immerse themselves in the rugged beauty of the Southwest, providing a quiet, year-round basecamp for outdoor enthusiasts. The surrounding terrain is characterized by dramatic mountain vistas and direct access to the pristine Deseret Peak Wilderness.

The campground serves as an ideal jumping-off point for adventure, with the multi-use Stansbury Front Trail and Medina Flat Trail located just across the road. Anglers will appreciate the proximity to Willow Creek, which is well-known for its rainbow and brown trout fishing. While the facilities are rustic, featuring only one single site and one double site, the location provides a true wilderness experience. Water hookups are available on-site to assist with your stay.

This site is best suited for tent campers and self-contained RV travelers who prefer a minimalist, off-the-grid experience. Because of the limited site count, it is perfect for those seeking solitude and quick access to high-altitude hiking and fishing in a beautiful, secluded canyon setting.
