Do NOT Miss the Exciting Cottonwood Reunion on Saturday, June 16, 2018!

The Cottonwood has been around in some form since the late 1960's. It has been a HUGE name for The Cottonwood Cove of today to live up to, but with hard work and the help of all of you, we're doing it! Some things have changed over the years, but the vision of a great place for everyone who loves the outdoors, the river, boating, biking, and now camping has always been the same for our RV Resort & Marina on the Missouri River. On Saturday, June 16, 2018, we will celebrate all that we've been, that we are now, and that we will become at a great big exciting Cottonwood Reunion! 

Countless people over the last few decades have made some of their favorite memories right here on the Missouri River. (Or as we fondly like to call it, the longest lake in the state!) Most of those memories are wonderful, but even the not-so-great ones have done their part to get us to where we are today. This is a very popular vacation destination in the Midwest where everyone is welcome to enjoy incredible music, make new friends, connect with old friends, sip Watermelon drinks, and make brand new memories to reminisce over in the future. Here is how we plan to celebrate this year.  

 Live Music
We've got some fantastic bands in store for you, including a Cottonwood favorite from the mid-90's. It all starts with Rhythm Download (formerly Knautilus) opening the show from 6-7 pm. After that, back for a repeat performance after a great 2017 reunion show, is the young up and coming group the Oddits from 7-8 pm. 

 Last, but certainly not least, the Nuclear Bees will take the stage at 8:30 pm. For about 10 years beginning on June 5, 1995, the Nuclear Bees were a staple at the Cottonwood! They headlined The Cottonwood Cove reunion celebration last year, and we simply couldn't get enough of them, so they're back to rock the stage all over again.

Lots of Memories
We're not just talking about the ones we plan on making during this incredible party, but also the ones that you have already made here over the many years that the Cottonwood has graced this section of land next to the Missouri River. There will be lots of familiar faces in attendance, including previous owners, employees, and members. The more the merrier to help us commemorate everything that has made The Cottonwood Cove the wonderful place it is today, so be sure to help us spread the word. 
Past & present owners from 2017 reunion:
Jo & Ben Rogge, Dave Schumacher, Mike Lupardus, Steve Lupardus, Mac Connealy

 We would also love your help in telling our story. Please start collecting any old photographs and Cottonwood memorabilia that you can find. Our goal is to piece together the interesting history of this local icon from as many points of view as possible. That means that you should get your best stories polished for retelling too. It's always so much fun to hear the many exciting experiences everyone has had right here over the years.

It's Pool Time at The Cottonwood Cove! (Finally!!!)

Image
The wait is finally over... the brand new pool and swim-up bar at The Cottonwood Cove are now open! Quite a few guests at our Midwest RV Resort & Marina have given it a try, and absolutely everyone loves it! It looks like the rest of the season is going to be even more fun than we're used to.  The Pool The weather forced us to push back opening day for the best 21+ pool in the Midwest , but we plugged through and the result is a beautiful and fantastic spot to keep cool all summer long! If you thought hanging out on the patio outside The Cottonwood Cove Lodge was fun before, we've now made it even more exciting.  Pool hours will be every Tuesday-Thursday from 3-9 pm and Friday-Sunday from 11 am-9 pm .  Make sure that you've got a swimsuit with you when you head our way because this new pool is simply irresistible.   The Swim-Up Bar Our awesome pool is connected to what is now only the 2nd swim-up bar in all of Nebraska ! We don't want you to...

Home Of Nebraska's Favorite Drink - The Watermelon!

Image
Every person has a favorite "go-to" cocktail. If you've ever had the chance to try the signature drink at our RV resort & marina in Nebraska , there's a good chance your favorite is the Watermelon! Haven't had one yet? The Cottonwood Cove is open for our 2018 season, so now is the perfect time to discover this refreshing drink! Home of the Watermelon Way back in January of 1982, George Rybin, son of the owners of The Cottonwood Cove at the time, as well as a future owner himself, went on a Carribean cruise. He was accompanied by his then-girlfriend, Sharon Young, who worked at The Cottonwood Cove Marina.  While visiting the islands, they both fell in love with a delicious, knock-you-on-your-a$$ drink called, you guessed it, the Watermelon. It was obvious that this incredible cocktail would be a huge hit back home, so the couple was determined to bring it back to the states to share with everyone at The Cottonwood Cove.  After much persuasion, Sharo...

It's been VERY cold at The Cottonwood Cove recently, but we don't let that get us down.

That's when our Midwest vacation destination becomes the most incredible place to hang out and enjoy nature, great food, awesome drinks, fantastic people, and incredible live music!  When you have an RV lot reserved at The Cottonwood Cove, you've always got a place to park that keeps you close to all of that action.
