Lovely day to get out and about. Not too crowded for a late Sunday afternoon…read more Even for Wintertime, it's scenic enough to walk the area for some pretty views. The paved trail is clearly marked with signs to help one find bathrooms, marina, disc golf, etc. They have spaces for kids and families at the Beaver Shelt, as well as a music park section near the Eagle Landing Building. There are at least two car charging stations at the marina. There may be more around the park itself, but I did not happen to come across any.

Such a nice lake just right down the street from me.

It is clean, up-kept, and I always feel safe when I go alone. It would be a nice place to start having concerts, activities like Halloween hunts and things of that nature hosted here.

My family has camped and kept our boats at North Shore Marina for three years now. The kids love being close to both the beach, parks, and the marina. AND.. My husband and I enjoy summers with our family without going broke. This marina offers: free boat launching (with a small fee if you want them to launch), boat repair and parts, gas, convenience store, nice campingsite, covered and uncovered boat slips, along with storage of your summer toys for the winter. AND probably other misc things that I have just never needed before It has been my experience that the owners and regular campers are friendly and go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. The only reason that I knocked off a star is because the campsite needs some maintenance. However, the new ownership has made a huge difference in only a few months. So, I expect to be able to give it 5 stars by next summer!

I was debating on 2 or 3 stars. The campsite was very nice. The shower house and restrooms were…read morenice and clean. My issue was the price. We usually stay at state parks that are half the price as this place and just as nice. They charge 40 dollars a night. Also, the thing that I really was unhappy with was that you are allowed 2 tents on the campsite. They charged my son 7 dollars to park and camp with us. Then they had some friends come by and just visit, they did not stay the night and they charged them 7 dollars. I probably will never go back to this place again and stick to Missouri DNR sites because of the price and not because it wasn't a nice campground.

They called today and wanted to setup our agreement just in time for me to pay through the winter. The guy was a jerk and rude when I asked, knowing it was non-refundable, for a refund. I think a reasonable company would say, we didn't hold up our end of the deal. We will give you a refund on your deposit. Instead I got excuses about the extenuating circumstances, covid, a drowning, etc. Covid wasn't new this winter, so that isn't a good excuse and what a horrible person to use a tragic drowning as crutch to get around his side of the deal. By the "letter of the law" they did nothing wrong but it sure reveals their character. So, he wants me to consider extenuating circumstances, but he doesn't want to grant the same to the people that expected to use the lake this summer. This review won't hurt them as the waiting list was very long to get in the slips but I hope it at least alerts people to the type of people they are working with.

Basically I came to see about renting a pontoon boat, get some snacks and beverages and was not even acknowledged by anyone in the 30 minutes that I was in the store. Not even a Hi or I will be right with you... crickets is what I received. Bought a single snack and drink and left. Ended up getting what I was requesting at the Clinton Lake Marina. Friendly and helpful people.

rented a room at the "motel," NOT a motel. When you show pictures, you see another door in the…read moreroom NOT THE BATHROOM! I reserved asked if handicap accessible was told yes, ok having a ramp does NOT make it accessible. Check in tell them NEVER been here as i grew up in the area was back for reunion wanted to support local business this was a HUGE slap in my face for that. If you stay at "motel" you SHARE BATHROOM with everyone who checks in, docks there and all. Bathroom was stool, sink, shower 4 of them in total. 1 only toilet worked, 2nd one you open the door, and the port-a-potty smell blows you away,3rd go to take shower and it is full of mosquitoes, spiders and curtain half up from bottom FULL OF MOLD. Heck i could have just jumped in lake and got a better shower. When i return to my room on the 1st night the GATE to the dock was closed and locked?! WTH?!! Management NEVER told me about this how do i get to my room? No one answered phone, called security people as well no answer shook gate only had key to my room but there was no key slot for it to try. Went back to my truck very UPSET, PISSED OFF and MAD!!! Got to looking at keychain my room key was on and found a grey plastic circle thing, so gathered my things and headed back to the gate. 20+ minutes and still no return phone call, email or message from anyone with this establishment. I found a tan plastic plate cover with a red light in the middle i waved my hand nothing, tried the "grey plastic circle thing" and boom gate opened. WOW THANKS A LOT FOR TELLING ME ABOUT THIS!! I was so done with this place that if i could have dropped my key off and got my $$ back i would have that night. Lots of extras as well in fine print. NO REFUNDS, take out your own trash or get charged extra, take out your towels and wash clothes or get charged...so how the HECK is this a MOTEL?!! I have NEVER had to take out my laundry, trash or share a bathroom with anyone at a MOTEL!! In a boarding house why YES, that makes sense. They should tell you all of this on their website, but they don't or make it clear to you when you make reservations. Plus, they should make sure to tell you of how to open gate, that it will close at a certain time. Oh, and that there are only lights from docked boats to show you the way on the dock once you are past the gate. So, you are walking in dark on floating dock/ramp with little or no light and you are handicap well don't miss step or over you go into the lake hope you don't hit your head on anything on way over. Totally unsafe, hazardous, dirty and wouldn't even refer my worst enemy to stay here. ZERO, is the best rating i could give unless you can let me leave -*

I was a very happy camper and picked the boat up the next day was able to go on my planned fishing trip that next week thanks to them at Smithville marine.
