Cottonwood Campground

Hammocks

Attaching lines to vegetation, including Joshua trees and junipers, is prohibited. Hammocks, slacklines, and other horizontal ropes must be tied to rocks and climbing bolts, and are not permitted in campgrounds.

 

Desert sunsets are a beautiful thing to behold.

Can't Find a Campsite?

The park has become an extremely popular destination in recent years. Due to this popularity, all park campgrounds usually fill on weekends October through May.

If you arrive too late to get a site in a designated campground, you have the following options:

• Camp on Bureau of Land Management land outside the park.
• Go to a private campground or stay in lodging in gateway communities. Please contact area chambers of commerce for information.

Sleeping in your vehicle overnight along the roadside or at a roadside pull off is not allowed and violators may be subject to a citation.

For more information, visit our Camping Outside of the Park page.
