Frequently Asked Questions

Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures, and at Shelter Cove Resort & Marina, we’ve been rethinking our operations to protect your safety while you relax and recharge. We’ve started offering a remote check-in service and stopped accepting cash payments. We’ve increased the frequency with which we clean communal bathrooms and decreased the capacity of our front desk area. We’ve initiated new sanitation protocols for our rental boats and cabins and discontinued the use of shared hoses in our marina. We screen all our team members at the beginning and end of every shift. And we use sterilizing wands to help ensure your room is clean.

We’re taking proactive steps now to prioritize your safety. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to give us a call at (541) 433-2548.

For all RV sites, check-in begins at 1:00 p.m. For cabins, cottages, and lodges, check-in begins at 3:00 p.m. All checkout times are 11:00a.m.

If availability allows, the front desk may be able to arrange a late checkout—but additional fees may apply. In order to ensure availability for incoming guests, please plan for a prompt departure.
