It’s no surprise that summer, warm weather, and vacation getaways are on everyone’s mind right now.

The Cottonwood Cove wanted to make sure that all of the Missouri River boaters out there are aware that we're almost to the halfway point of the biggest sandbar party of the summer, meaning it's just about time for the 3rd Annual Halfway to T&A Party ! We are thrilled that the Lodge at our  RV Campground & Marina on the Missouri River has been chosen as the location for this great big, incredible, mid-winter party.  The excuse for such an exciting event (as if one is really needed) is the celebration of the fact that we're already halfway to the biggest annual summer party on the Missouri River - The T&A Party! (Get your mind out of the gutter. If you aren't already familiar, we'll explain the tame meaning of that below.) On Saturday, January 26, 2019 , the 3rd Annual Halfway to T&A Party is coming to your favorite vacation destination in the Midwest !   What is T&A?   T&A, around The Cottonwood Cove anyway, is the big ...

Looking back at the 2018 season at The Cottonwood Cove , we have a LOT of reasons to feel thankful! Sure, HEAVY rain tried to spoil things for us at our RV Campground & Marina on the Missouri River , and the road construction was a bit inconvenient, but none of that stopped us from having fun!  A lot was accomplished and a ton of wonderful memories were made. Here are just a few of the many reasons that 2018 is a season we will always look back on fondly.  New Amenities This year visitors to The Cottonwood Cove were able to enjoy a brand new 21+ pool and swim-up bar! (We can now boast 1 of only 2 swim-up bars in all of Nebraska!) It was most definitely worth the wait, and we're looking forward to jumping right back in as soon as the weather warms up next spring. We also now have an excellent playground for the youngest visitors to The Cottonwood Cove. A bit later than anticipated, but better late than never! The equipment was ordered months ago but only...

Winter is on its way, so it's not too early to start thinking about what you need to do to keep your RV in good condition if you'll be storing it away during those cold months.  Properly storing your RV in the winter months is the best way to protect it for many more years of future adventuring. Following the basic tips that  The Cottonwood Cove  has in today's blog will help you do that.  Drain the Water Systems Any water left in the plumbing system of an RV can freeze when it gets extremely cold and break the lines and fittings. This can result in extremely pricey repairs to get it going again next spring. All of the water needs to be drained from both the fresh water and waste tanks. Pumping nontoxic RV antifreeze through the plumbing will push the water out, and your owner's manual should have instructions on how to do this. If you aren't completely comfortable doing this yourself, we can help you find a professional to take care of it.   Save ...
