8 nights at Cottonwood creek campground

Good campsite, kind of hard to find but the owner of the site is very communicative and helpful. In the breaks, things can get bad when it rains and unfortunately for my hunting trip it rained on the last night to the point I was unable to get my camper out. The owner of the campsite allowed me to leave the camper for an extra week without any extra fees and pick it up when it dries out and was safe to pull it out. This was extremely generous as they could have charged me for the extra time and unfortunate situation but did not take advantage. I am extremely grateful. If I ever hunt in the unit again I would definitely use the same site.
