Cottonwood Cove RV Resort

The resort has a lovely beach, and we appreciated the dog beach. The staff were mostly helpful, we had booked sites in advance and were told the day before we got there that we couldn't camp on those sites anymore as there was a willow tree that had a hanging branch (I looked and never saw it)... So we had to choose different sites that weren't on the water anymore 🙁
It really is a beautiful spot... But if you are looking for friendly neighbours do not go here. The people that live here film time are a bunch of pretentious old people. You could say good morning and wave and they would walk right past you. If it wasn't for these people, we would return

Nice place to visit that’s for sure. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Everything is very clean and well looked after. Only complaint we have is the sewer smell that wafted through our site quite frequently.

Our trip started horrible and then we found this gem.

On a Saturday morning we headed out to the oakangan and by mid Saturday our existing plans at another RV lot were changed to something undesirable.

We called around to about 20 different places with no luck. Running out of options we stumbled on Cottonwood Cove and they immediately answered (where others did not).

We mentioned our position and said to come and they will find a solution for us. The moment we entered we knew we were saved. The entrance was inviting and after chatting to the reception they were able to find us a temperary spot for the night and then a place by the beach for the remaining 6 nights.

Keep in mind we had a 30 foot trailer and 3 kids and a dog with us so this was a huge relief.

This place has it all and me and my wife who are used to the nicer RV parks were even impressed.

-a decent sized playground for the kids
-family environment
-they had a Halloween in August night our first night there
-bathrooms are very very modern and clean.
-we did not use the showers but it's 2 bucks for ten minutes. Not bad as it was super clean
-a big beach and a seperate beach for dogs which was amazing
-a restaurant / ice cream place / water sport rentals
-they have a dock for your boat
-they have the lake that sort of runs through the majority of the property which is amazing
-the main roads are paved
-the sites were large in size. I was impressed.
-the wood they had for sale was not the best quality. I ended up going to home hardware in town to buy wood that actually burns good
-ice is about 4.50 per bag.
-many of the properties are owner owned and they are beautiful sites.
-we have 2 children aged 9 and a 12 year old. I felt perfextly comfortable letting them bike around until 10pm. Then it got dark dark.
-there is a secret beach about 400 meters to the farthest right beach.. We went there and only 2 people. We took advantage of letting the kids fish. This is the part of the beach which the river runs into the lake.

Let's talk mosquitoes. Yes they had them when we were there. I can't blame them as they had pretty high waters weeks earlier. I took morning runs and noticed staff sprayimg the parameter of the property daily. I also saw propane mosquitoe traps. They put work into minimizing them. Just bring bug spray. It helps alot. By day 3 we were used to them and they did not bug us as much but we did get bitten. Bring afterbite too lol.

All in all Cottonwood saved our family trip. I would consider buying a site here. Maybe in our future. Thanks again staff. Keep doing what your doing.

This place was so fun. The dog beach is much appreciated by my 4 legged monster. The water in the cove is was lovely, but the beach water was gorgeous. Very helpful ladies at the desk, in fact, all staff were very friendly. The 2 downsides are the traffic noise, but we were close to the road and I imagine it is not as noisy on the other side of the resort. The other downside is the mosquito's (so not the resorts fault), bring coils and spray. The resort even arranged a "Halloween Night in August" the kids got to collect candy! Thanks so much for the great memories!

10/10! Friendly staff and residents, beautiful location and all the amenities you need right at your doorstep. Whether you're looking for a quiet, tranquil getaway nestled in the trees, or a family-centred adventure on the lake or on the trails, Cottonwood Cove has something for everyone. We came here as renters, and decided to stay as owners! This place is pretty magical!
