Cottonwood Campground

We stopped here for three nights because our youngest had hockey camp at MSU. It was convenient, and sites were small but easy to access (pull through). Office staff was LOVELY and helpful. Two words of caution: Watch your stuff; we had things stolen out of our site (to be clear, this is NOT the staff's fault - they were amazing; there are bad apples everywhere), and the mosquitoes (thanks to the ponds in the campground) are absolutely horrendous. SO bad. Even during the day. This wouldn't keep me from staying here again - as I said, great location, wonderful staff, well-kept campground. We'll be back.

Our first experience with Cottonwood was fantastic! Everything was clean and well kept. Pool was large and clean. We took out paddleboard and the next day kayaks. The only thing that would of made it better is full hookup on the water sites. :) The staff was super friendly and store prices were great. Grankids loved it too.

We drove through for the Christmas lights. It was super cute, the kids got to get pics with santa and the grinch.

We camp rusticly, so the 'rooms' are the campsites. We've been here repeatedly, and they're always tidy with scrapes of wood off just a stones throw in the brush. This year we made it for the fireworks, and they were memorably amazing! Took me straight back to my childhood. They went on for, I believe, a solid thirty minutes, and the smoke cleared out all mosquitoes quite well. The owners and workers are super friendly and accommodating, and even had a free water balloon fight for today! It was so funny! I love sitting in the campsite and all I hear is the wind in the trees.

We have always enjoyed our stays at Cottonwood. The owners and staff are wonderful. They go the extra mile for campers. They work hard to be sure you have a site you like. The location is beautiful also with shady sites. They keep it very clean. The runoff when it rains is a problem with some lake sites, but we just put boards to step on when that happens. We like the reception we get for our TVs and computers. We enjoy the ball games and fireworks too. It’s a lovely place to walk and has rustic camping. We get sites that have water and electric. We have never had a problem with either and they have a sign up sheet for gray and black water removal at a reasonable price. Their store has necessary items at a decent price. It’s a nice place to stay the night or for the summer. It’s conveniently located in Lansing. We like it and have stayed often.
