Clear Water Cove in the Desert

This campground is a great stop for boaters, anglers, and anyone who just wants to enjoy beautiful water with a desert backdrop. Cottonwood Cove is shared between a campground, a marina and a motel. There are many other coves to explore as you walk the shoreline if you’d like more privacy. As dogs are not allowed in the designated swimming area of the public beach you might want to utilize these if you have a furry tag along.

The campground was well maintained and everything functioned with the exception of the dump station but the ranger said it was being fixed. The beach had steel canopy structures and charcoal grills so you can spend your days grilling on the beach after you go fishing in the morning.

I hiked the ridge a couple hundred yards north of the campground to take this video. That shows the area.
