Cottonwood Pit Campground

US Forest Service · Oregon

Cottonwood Pit Campground in Oregon. Ringed marker is this site; the other dots are the 790 public campsites we map in Oregon.

As you may have guessed, this campground is located in an old gravel pit. When the excavation hit the water table and the pit was filled in with water the operations ceased and the site was abandoned. Now this campground is locally known as a swimming hole, and is also occasionally stocked with trout.
