LITTLE COTTONWOOD CAMPGROUND

Area Status: Open

Overview
The Little Cottonwood Campground is off Utah's I-15, adjacent to the Beaver River just outside of the community of Beaver in the Fishlake National Forest. At 6,500 feet elevation, this is a great place to enjoy the mountains where recreation opportunities include stream fishing, hiking, and hunting.

Facilities
The campground has 14 single-family campsites, two of which are accessible units available for reservation. All campsites are paved and have picnic tables and grills. The campground has an accessible restroom with flush toilets. Potable water is available during the summer season. The sites can accommodate RVs up to 40 feet long but no hook-ups are available.

Natural Features
Common vegetation includes cottonwood, aspen, pinion, juniper and ponderosa pine trees. A majority of campsites at Little Cottonwood are well-shaded. The Fishlake National Forest offers spectacular views and opportunities to see wildlife in their natural habitat. Elk, deer, black bears, moose, cougars, and mountain goats are some of the large animals living in the forest.

Recreation
Enjoy fishing in the Beaver River; an accessible fishing path is located within the campground. The Piute all-terrain vehicle trail is nearby but there is no access directly from the campground. Be prepared to haul all-terrain vehicles to the nearby trailheads for access. Nearby Cottonwood Trail is a horse and foot trail accessed through the lower part of Cottonwood Campground. This rugged trail leads southwest for about two miles and takes a sharp turn to the east through Horse Flat.
