Image
There’s been a lot happening at The Cottonwood Cove over the last six years. It’s been a lot of fun, we’ve made some great memories, and met the most AMAZING people! The history of The Cottonwood Cove goes back way back further than six years, but there's been a LOT happening in the last six years. As we celebrate our six-year anniversary this Memorial Day Weekend, here’s a fun breakdown of some of the amazing events that mark the last six years - which ones do you remember?! 2015, 2016, and 2017 This is where all started for us!

Give Your RV Interior a Fresh New Look (Without Breaking the Bank!)

Image
Even though there are lots of fun things to do outside of your RV at our RV campground & marina on the Missouri River , you most likely still spend a lot of time inside the vehicle. Occasionally updating the look of the RV's interior can be a nice change.  A complete overhaul can get pricy fast, but there are simple improvements that can be made that don't have to cost a lot. The small changes The Cottonwood Cove has for you today can make a big difference!  Decorative Accents You may shy away from putting decor on your walls because of the hazard of those things falling down during travel. There are ways to get around that. Removable and reusable sticker decals are an excellent way to do this. Today you can find them in many different styles, from inspirational sayings to pieces of art. There are some wonderful maps made this way too that could be fun if you're traveling the country.  It's also possible to find lightweight wall decor that is less likel...
