6 Ideas to Refresh Your RV on a Budget

 The Cottonwood Cove is the best RV park in the Midwest, boasting a wide array of amenities to keep you entertained and cozy during your stay with us. As such, we understand the importance of having a nice RV space, inside and out, to really bring the entire experience together. In this week's blog, we're giving you 6 tips to upgrade your RV without dropping a ton of cash. 

Upgrade the Flooring

If the flooring in your RV is worn, it will be hard for much of your space to really stand out. While this is one of the more complex DIY on this list, it could give you the opportunity to learn a new trade and feel very accomplished once it's done. Upgrade that old carpet with hardwood-style laminate or even tile to spruce up its appearance.

Freshen Up the Windows

You'll want to see the beautiful Missouri River sunrises/sunsets when you stay at The Cottonwood Cove. So, replace those foggy plastic or glass windows throughout - or replace them entirely. Be sure you add some drapery around them to really make them pop.

Recover the Furniture

It's likely that your couch and other furniture have seen a lot of use over the years of camping. You can make them like new by replacing the upholstery. However, if the structure is fading as well, you may want to consider a full replacement of some furniture.

Add a Washing Machine

Skip the laundromat... installing a washing machine on your RV can really enhance the quality of life for your vacations for years to come. After all, spending your precious vacation time hanging out at the local laundromat isn't what we'd call an adventure. 

Adding Some Life to Your Space

Literally, with live plants/greenery. You'll be pleasantly surprised how far this can go to freshen up your RV. Be sure that your plants are RV-friendly and don't require a specific type of environment that cannot be met with RV life. You'll also enjoy an improvement to the air quality - yay photosynthesis!

Dinette or Home Entertainment Center?

The Cottonwood has a fantastic restaurant! So, consider if you're going to be spending more of your trip eating meals outdoors (or with us) because let us tell you... that home entertainment center will be a delight. A big screen, plush couch, surround sound. Now THAT'S RV camping in style.

We hope that you've found these DIY tips for renovating an RV on a budget helpful, and perhaps even sparked a few new ideas for your RV. The Cottonwood Cove Marina & RV Park is ready to open up for the season the first week of April. We can't wait to party with all our friends and meet new ones! If you don't have an RV space at The Cottonwood, we encourage you to reserve your RV lot with us today while they last!

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

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...
