“in the McCain Valley Recreation Area”
Among the live oaks in southeastern San Diego County is Cottonwood Campground. The campground offers a tranquil and refreshing experience. Cottonwood Campground is an excellent starting point for day hikes, overnight backpacking trips, and equestrian use. The campground is located in the McCain Valley Resource Conservation Area. There are 29 sites for tents or RVs up to 35 feet (no hookups). Picnic tables and fire grills are provided. Drinking water and vault toilets are available. Two group horse corrals are also available. Leashed pets are permitted.
This campground is located at the bottom of Joshua Tree NP NOT where it is shown on this map
Anyone entering the park from the south will get to Cottonwood first. Flush toilets and running water make it a hit among half-hearted participants. The draw for the rest of us is cactus, lots of it. You can hike the one-mile nature trail to find out what the various prickly plants are called, then try the 8-mile trail to a fan-palm oasis when you've had your fill of arid desolation. Reservations accepted, open year round.Please enjoy the campsite photos of Cottonwood campground in Joshua Tree National Park. We will continue to add more campsite photos of the campground if some are not available.
