    Cottonwood has always been my first trip of every year, since when it was KOA Kampground decades…read moreago. It's local and I always used it to iron out any kinks that may arise throughout the season before I go camping elsewhere farther away. They haven't had a lot to offer in terms of recreation for a long time, but I still enjoyed the simple atmosphere and ability to camp 'rustic' if that was my goal for the weekend. For many years the price was excellent, but the past couple of years the price has gone up ridiculously. I will not spend $50+ per night for a campsite at a campground that has so little to offer. Especially when you can go to bigger campgrounds that have more to do for less. It MIGHT be that I live so close by that there's not even anything interesting to see AROUND the campground, as where other cities may have some sites I'd be interested in seeing or places to go. But, for a campground like Cottonwood, with nothing to offer IN the campground, I don't see why anyone would pay that much when there's absolutely NOTHING interesting for people to see within 50 miles of the place. For being the state capital, Lansing is basically nothing but ghetto anymore. Even Detroit has better things to do!

    My family and I had a great time there. It was very quiet, even though a bunch of people were there…read moreto play softball on the fields on the campground. I loved our back-in spot that was on the pond. My golden retriever wasted no time in jumping into the big pond and started swimming. She loved it! Since we were at one of the pond spots, the pool, playground, and bathroom were very close by. The playground can use some updating, but that's not a big deal. The pool and deck area were clean. The kids were having fun and that's fine by me also. The bath house was recently updated. It was very clean and updated. Shower area was clean also, I was never worried about seeing random bugs or giant gross puddles. It's very well kept. The dogs and I took a few walks while we were there. If you go past the baseball fields, you get to the back section of the campground, more suited for tent camping. Those sites were very well-covered by the trees. That walk was very pleasant. The campground was super close to MSU campus, so that was a plus also. One minute you're on campus, the next minute you're in the country. We went around mid June and that Cottonwood was no joke. The campground certainly lived up to its name. It was basically a Cottonwood blizzard. Thank goodness I'm not allergic, but that may be a consideration for some. Like someone else said on their review, the fire pit wasn't a fire pit, it was a basically a huge divot in the ground that you can easily trip on because it's so shallow. We didn't use it because we didn't have time, but it's technically not false advertising because they didn't say "fire ring" as the amenity. Overall, we had a great experience and looking forward to coming back if we're ever back in the Lansing area.
