Welcome to Cottonwood Canyon Campground, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Orangeville, UT. This Bureau of Land Management (BLM) campground offers a rustic and affordable camping experience for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. With a nightly rate of just $15, Cottonwood Canyon Campground provides approximately 10 sites, each equipped with a picnic table. While the campground does not offer water facilities, it does feature a single-stall pit toilet that is well-maintained and stocked with toilet paper.

The campground is particularly popular among rock climbers, as it provides easy access to some of the area's most renowned climbing spots.

The sites vary in terms of space and levelness, so early arrival is recommended to secure the best spot for your tent or RV.

I don't usually leave reviews but there aren't any for this place yet so hoping this helps someone out. This BLM campground is $15 a night, has about 10 sites, and has one single stall pit toilet. The toilet was well stocked with toilet paper and smelled fine as far as pit toilets go. The campground doesn't have water. Each site has a picnic table, and some sites are definitely far better than others in terms of how much space to set up tents, if tent pads exist or not, how level the ground is, etc. I would say in general most sites are not very level. There were a couple sites open on Thursday night when we arrived and no spots left by around 5pm on Friday afternoon. A surprising number of sites opened up on Saturday throughout the day. Almost every single group camping here was rock climbers, including us. There is a rock-marked trail that leads from the campground for a 4 minute approach to Boy Size, and you can also walk across the street from the campground for a 5 minute approach to Man Size.
