Cove Cantina
LakesideA casual bar and grill inside a marina resort with campsite delivery and a short weekly schedule.
Cove Cantina is the bar and grill attached to Rockwood Marina & RV Resort at 1500 Pumphouse Rd in Rockwood. The food program is casual: burgers and shrimp tacos have earned the most consistent praise from guests, and the bar runs beer and mixed drinks. If you are camped at the resort, delivery to your site is available and people use it routinely on summer evenings.
The marina context shapes the experience. Boaters can tie up and walk in. RV guests don't have to leave the property. The Cantina sits centrally on the grounds between the pool area and the marina, so it catches traffic from both directions on a summer weekend. Seating includes outdoor options facing the water.
Hours shift between off-season and peak season. The most recent posted schedule we have is Friday noon to 9 PM, Saturday 9 AM to 9 PM, with the kitchen closed the rest of the week. We expect that to broaden into the summer when resort traffic picks up. Call the resort or check their website before planning a meal-driven visit; the Cantina's schedule is the kind of thing that moves with the season.
The parent property is covered in full on the Rockwood Marina & RV Resort page.

Best time
Summer weekend evenings when the resort is at full traffic and the Cantina's hours are at their longest. In the shoulder seasons, weekend afternoons are quieter and the kitchen is more reliably open.
First visit
Enter the resort off US 70 (I-40 Exit 350, then 4 miles west). The Cantina is centrally located on the grounds near the pool, clearly signed from the main drive. Boaters can dock at the marina and walk the short path in.
How to get in
Walk-in only. No reservation system in place for the Cantina; the resort registration desk is separate.
With kids
The resort's saltwater pool and waterslide are next to the Cantina, so a meal lines up naturally with a pool visit. Food is casual enough for kids.
