Located in Bowstring State Forest, managed by Schoolcraft State Park. The 10 campsites are considered "primitive," designed to furnish only the basic needs of the camper. The campsites consist of a cleared area, a fire ring, and a table. The campground is close to Cottonwood Lake, but not right on the water. The campground is very wooded covered mostly with pine.
