Cottonwood Cove RV Resort

Cottonwood cove, the biggest scam anyone could fall for. The photos online, as well as the word "resort" make you think you are rolling into a luxury location. You couldn't be more wrong. The photos posted online are sites that their full year clients live at, and they are allowed to customize their location. We paid $150 a night and we got nothing but a yard of dead grass, and a faded falling apart picnic table. The hot tub and swimming area is a joke, you can seriously have a better "swimming area" at a motel. Not to mention it's always so over populated due to the amount of people staying, where we didn't even get to use it the whole 3 nights we were here. The beaches are pathetic, they are riddled with rocks, cinderblocks and broken sticks as far as the beach goes. The resturant is abandoned, the office is never opened and when it is, there's nothing in there anyways, and people leave their laundry in the dryers overnight so you can't even use those facilities either. When we first rolled up there was another person charging their vehicle in our site, we had to sit and wait for them to collect their stuff and get out. Their speed limits are "extremely enforced" no doubt. We left to go to town after just setting up and as soon as we came back we had loud knocking on our door letting us know about speed limits and how we got a complaint already, the speed limit is 10, i was going 20 (as I didn't see the limits posted, as mentioned we just pulled in- and the office was again closed, so it's not like we were told of the rules). A very warm welcome. Also, luckily their was a fireban, because if you were expecting to have fires bring your own pit cause they dont provide that either. Save your money, book anything else, I promise you will regret coming here unless you own a site.

I have absolutely nothing negative to say about our first experience camping at Cottonwood Cove Resort in B.C 1) customer service A+ 2) cleanliness A+ 3) clean site upon arrival A+ 4) No mosquitos A+ 5) Location A+ 6) Friendly environment A+ 7) Very clean laundry room A+ 8) Very clean bathrooms/showers A+ 9) Safe environment A+ 10) Family friendly A+ 11) Clean beach A+ What a wonderful and well kept little gem! We hope to be back again one day! A very special thank you to Lorraine - What a lovely lady to deal with!

We rented a pet-friendly trailer from the owners through the resort. The trailer was large and comfortable, well-equipped and only a few lots from the dog beach. I found the lots to be small, with room for a trailer, shed, firepit area and a small grassed area. There is only a fence between neighbours, although the resort as a whole is well treed. Resort management was extremely helpful, and the resort is well cared for. As it was off- season, the pool was closed, and we did not partake in the bar and grill, the hot tub or the store. There are laundry facilities, propane refills and ice on site. There a at least a couple of boat rental businesses in a town not far away, which provide pontoon and ski boats, along with stand-up paddleboards, tubes, skis, etc. It is a forty minute drive to Salmon Arm, most of which is on the Trans-Canada Highway

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!

NOT HANDICAPP ACCESSIBLE, we stayed here beginning of September. I specifically emailed asking if resort was accessible as my son was in a wheelchair. Upon arriving we saw that the roads are mostly gravel, the beach is not accessible it is all rocks. You can get into the club house and there is a accessible bathroom which you need to go down a gravel road to get to and no shower that is accessible. One washroom does not make the resort accessible. We paid in full at the 30 days no cancellation we were told everything is operating under fall hours would reduce open times which meant store was only open 10-12 and the pool closed on the Sunday 5 days before we left. My son could get into the pool but when he went to use the handrail to get in and out of the pool via the stairs it fell out into his hand, not safe at all we did make management aware and we got oh yeah we know its easier to clean that way??? Oh and last they require you to use biodegradable toilet paper for their sewer system, its $10 bucks for 4 rolls and paper thin. Bring your own. Resort is very beautiful but I just am frustrated at the fact it is in no way accessible for wheelchairs or walkers of any sort. Golf cart would be required just to go for a walk.
