Disconnected from tech here. Absolutely no cell signal inside the majority of the park; but we got several bars on Verizon just 10 minutes from the campground heading towards I10 on our way out. As...

Tips from campers about Cottonwood Campground

  • Misc789 Use satellite view when choosing a site and know the stated max is the absolute max if the bushes haven't overgrown the site. Sites may be more than 6 inches off level depending on the site. Especially parallel sites
  • NT2013 Just one exit east of the Joshua Tree exit from I-10 is the General George Patton museum. It is excellent. There is a small cafe next door that is spotless and serves great food. This area in 1943 was a huge military base where the army trained the troops who would be deployed in the invasion of North Africa.
  • Loy_712 Dog not allowed on the trails. It gets extremely windy. Chilly over night. Absolutely no cell reception.

Haven't been here in about 20 years. Decided on Cottonwood since it was along our journey. To start with the roads in the campground are narrow. All the roads to and in this CG are asphalt. And the...
