We are planning on going up to Canyon de Chelly next week.
We are looking at staying at the cottonwood campground.
Has anyone stayed up there? Or have any suggestions on where to camp?

PLease let me know what you find. Planning trip there myself sometime.

If you can find out if the CG is open all winter that would be a help

We stayed in Cottonwood a couple years ago. It was nice, no problems. The drive up the canyon in the back of trucks is not to be missed, and they pick you up within walking distance of the campground.

If you can get a reservation., this train ride is not to be mised.
Verde Canyon Train Ride

There are two campgrounds. Cottonwood is very nice and well maintained, with restrooms water and a dump station. It is now under the management of the Navajo Nation.
The other is Spider Rock, and is Privately owned. We have never stayed there so I can not comment.
