Review summary
Generated from real Hipcamper reviews
Nestled right along the G2G trail, this campsite offers a blend of convenience and tranquility. Many campers appreciate the easy access to the trail, making it a perfect stop for bikepackers. While the campsite's proximity to the road means some traffic noise, it generally fades into the background at night. Guests consistently highlight the friendly host and the well-maintained facilities, including a shower and picnic areas.

Great spot right off the G2G trail. I was a little unsure if it being so close to the trail would be an issue for me, but it really wasn't. There is lots of available land with mostly flat, nice cut grass where I could setup my tent. There is a second picnic table near the Bunkie in addition to the one by the rest area off the trail, so I setup camp near there. I didn't rent the Bunkie, no one stayed there the night I was there. I suppose if there were multiple campers, the picnic table would need to be shared, same as the outdoor, single unit shower/sink by the owner's house, and the outhouse by the rest area. There is also a firepit a short distance from the picnic table and Bunkie, with a selection of firewood made available. I had a great time after biking to site, also walked into Millbank which only took 5-10 minutes. The road traffic noise mostly faded into the background for me, it died down a lot into the night and the sound of crickets takes over. I was treated to a beautiful starry night while sitting by the fire, not too much light pollution in the area. Honestly, can't really think of anything different I would ask for from this spot. I really appreciate the owner's setting up the trail rest area and this campsite in such a perfect location! Come ride the G2G trail and stay at Cottonwood Manor!

Simple and effective. I wish there were more options like this along the g2g.
