Repairs are coming along well, the main walkway is completely safe to walk on. A few additional repairs are still needed, so we continue to ask members to use caution in the area.

Trash Disposal & Marina Maintenance

We provide three dumpsters on-site for your convenience—please feel free to use any of them. All trash must be bagged before disposal. Please do not bring in trash from outside the campground. Oversized items such as furniture, large boxes, metal, and similar materials are not permitted in the dumpsters. If the dumpsters are full, please do not leave your trash beside or on top of them.

Additionally, we ask all members to help keep the marina looking its best:

• Keep pads clear: Any items on the grass must be moveable and out of the way when the landscapers are mowing. Areas should also be kept neat and free of clutter.

• Close dumpster doors: Animals have been getting into the trash, so it’s important that dumpster doors remain closed at all times.

Let’s work together to keep our campground clean, safe, and enjoyable for everyone!

Slips and RV Sites Available!

Special Offer on Slips & RV Sites
We’re offering discounted rates for the remainder of the season on both slips and RV sites! It’s the perfect time to settle in at the marina and enjoy the rest of the summer.

As a thank-you to our members, we’re also adding a $100 credit toward next year’s rent for any member who is named as the referring party on a new rental.

If you or someone you know is interested, contact the marina office for availability and details.

Additionally, some of our members have boats or campers listed for sale. Listings can be viewed online HERE and include seller contact information.

Policy Reminder

• Please remember that pets are welcome at the Marina; however, they must be kept on a leash at all times when they are outside and toileted in a designated area. Patrons shall clean up after their pet and dispose of pet waste properly (bagged and in the dumpster). All immunization records must be kept up to date. Any pet deemed by the Marina to be a nuisance may be banned. Help us to keep our marina safe and comfortable for everybody!

• We kindly remind all members to keep their pads clear for the landscapers. Anything placed in the grass must be moveable and out of the way when the mowers are on site. In addition, please ensure your area is kept neat and free of clutter. Your cooperation helps us maintain the marina grounds so they remain safe and enjoyable for everyone.

• Walking paths are for people and golf carts only. Please do not drive vehicles on the paths to help keep everyone safe and preserve the trails.

Community Corner
