Bison Walked Right Behind Our Site

We stayed at Cottonwood for two nights and loved it. We were ultimately headed to MT, so two nights here tent camping for us was perfect. Overall, the grounds are pretty quiet and very clean with plenty of water and flush toilets. There are no showers here which didn’t bother us one bit. Campfires were allowed in the grill pits but no big fires on the ground due to dry conditions. By far the best part of our site (17) was that we had bison walk behind our site once in the morning and then again at dinner time. They were no bother to us one bit, but it was such a cool experience to watch them walk right on by our tent. I highly recommend a campsite on the outer edge of the grounds for this reason.
