We are pleased to announce that Cottonwood Cove is under new Local Ownership & Management. Cottonwood Cove Guest Ranch is an environment to come unite with family, relax in one of our many unique cabins and sit on the porch while sharing fun stories. Cottonwood Cove is more than just a vacation: it's a place to make memories.
Nestled at the base of towering cliffs and surrounded by cottonwood trees, the Rio Grande and majestic mountains like McClelland Mountain and Snowshoe Mountain, our ranch is surrounded by nature. If you want to experience Colorado, Cottonwood Cove is your place to camp. Because our lodging is so close to the Rio Grande, you can fish for rainbow trout, brook trout, flathead catfish and red shiner whenever you like.

Most sites are pull-throughs and all include FHU and WIFI. You may request a specific site, however, it is never guaranteed and at our discretion. The RV Park is located on the Lodge Side of the Highway. Each site has full hook ups. No matter which space you choose, you will have an amazing view of the towering cliffs, horses in the pasture, and a family of rams that like to frequent the park.

This is an experience you should not miss! We have beautiful scenic trails that cross over the Rio Grande River into the mountains. Our wrangler John Whitney has been with us over 30 years! He takes the time to make sure everyone truly gets to experience the beautiful scenery in this area, and will even help with the many requested photo opportunities at the different overlooks.
Fishing
Report
The stretch of the Rio Grande river through Cottonwood Cove is known by fisherman all over the country. It is famous for the Salmon Fly Hatch which generally happens around mid June. The river is classified as "Gold Metal Water" which means the catch and release of Rainbow Trout is mandatory.
Cottonwood Cove guests get exclusive access to over 1/4 mile of private water, giving you tons of opportunity for that "perfect picture" you won't have to exaggerate.A fishing license is required by Colorado State Law, and can be purchased in Creede or South Fork. Well stocked lakes and reservoirs also surround this area of Colorado so you are sure to find what you are looking for!
