The Little Cottonwood Campground is conveniently located off Utah's I-15, adjacent to the Beaver River just outside of the community of Beaver in the Fishlake National Forest. At 6,500 feet in elevation, this is a great place to enjoy the mountains where recreation opportunities include stream fishing, hiking, and hunting.
The campground has fourteen single-family campsites, two of which are accessible units available for reservation. All campsites are paved and have picnic tables and grills. An accessible restroom with flush toilets serves the campground. Potable water is available during the summer season. RVs up to 40 feet in length can be accommodated; no hook-ups are available.
All sites are reservable and reservations are recommended as this campground is small and can fill quickly, especially during holidays and on weekends.

There are no electricity, water or sewer site hookups at the campground.
This is a 'pack it in-out' facility. No garbage services are available. Please bring your own garbage bags.
