Cottonshed Park is located off the beaten path, eight miles southwest of Mineral Springs and Tollette. It is a quiet, wooded area with access to some of the best fishing on Millwood Lake.
The campground is located on Millwood Lake with direct access to the Saline River. The area is made navigable by boat lanes which mark the river and other man made paths through the lake. Outside of these channels is submerged timber and aquatic vegetation that entice anglers and duck hunters to the area. Millwood Lake is home to over 300 species of birds including the American Bald Eagle and Great White Pelicans, many of which can be found in the Cottonshed area.
The campground contains lake side campsites as well as those not located directly on the lake but with a lake view. Flush toilets, showers, and potable water are located throughout the campground. The facility also offers one centrally located sewage dump station. Campsites are equipped with picnic tables, grills, fire rings, 30/50 amp electricity, water hydrants and lantern poles.
The campground is located directly on Millwood Lake with lake views from most of the campsites. The surrounding landscape is flat, low land areas with dense timber.
Old Washington Historic State Park is located 25 miles northeast of the park.

Large, shaded campsites with many right on the lake. Clean showers and well kept areas. Very quiet, which we loved.
Small but nice. Wide boat ramp with easy in and out access. The camping spots are kind of bunched up together. This is a stump-filled area so you know it's full of fish. Just be careful getting your line hung. Not a great swimming spot.
Awesome place to fish, camp and spend time with the family. The maintenance guys take very good care of the park, the mowing is excellent, and the rangers are friendly and well versed. This is a top-notch premier CORPS Park. The lake leadership team is second to none!
We spent a week here and loved the relaxing atmosphere here. We had a spot in the campground away from the more popular 1st loop and we had the area to ourselves for most of the week. We were right on the water and saw some beautiful sunsets! Starlink works well on loops 1 and 2. Some sites might work in the North Loop, but less to choose from there. Keep an eye out for the Armadillos at night as they are fun to watch! We will certainly be back to this park!
A very nice park. Paved parking for R V's . Water and electricity hook ups . Clean bathrooms and showers.
