About This Location

The road into Navajo Lake NM State Park Cottonwood Campground is dirt and 2 miles from a paved road. It is open all year. There are 30 or more campsites at Navajo Lake NM State Park Cottonwood Campground & the max RV length is 45 feet. You may stay 14 days at Navajo Lake NM State Park Cottonwood Campground.

The San Juan River area below the dam is world renowned for excellent trout fishing and includes wheelchair-accessible fishing facilities on the river, Cottonwood Campground, seven day use areas and several hiking trails. The park contains both cold- and warm-water fish species and has wonderful temperatures in the summer in the ’80’s.

Explore some of the many side canyon primitive areas ideal for houseboating. Fowl And Fawn Hillsides covered with pinon and juniper created a forest atmosphere, and along the river provide the habitat for a variety of wildlife. The varied terrain and vegetation attracts all kinds of creatures.

Watch for sun-basking lizards in summer and soaring bald eagles in winter.  Evidence of some of the earliest known villages in the Southwest are found in the area.
