The Cottonwood Lake Campground is located next to Cottonwood Lake in the Salt River Mountains at an elevation of 7,000 feet, approximately 13 miles southeast of Afton, Wyoming.

Typically, the volunteer will greet visitors and provide them with information on how to camp responsibly; respecting stay limits, remembering to put out fires, pack out trash and dispose of waste properly.
