The guy didn't even close yet. When we usually break down marinas are always so helpful but this one was not. I WOULD NEVER IN MY LIFETIME COME BACK HERE TO DO ANY BUSINESS OR RECOMMEND ANYONE ELSE SHOULD.

At 6:45, Brandon was on the dock ready to help me tie up. It's a bit expensive ($40/night) but it is the only marina in the area that can accomodate a large houseboat. Shore power is available, but we didn't take it. The marina is walking distance from Giusti's Italian restaurant and the town of Walnut Grove. If you can handle the 2 mile walk on the levee in scorching heat, then you can visit Locke.

If you're in your boat... in the Sacramento River... and you're near Walnut Grove... and you have a…read morehankering for ice cream or pizza... and it's before 7 PM... you're in luck! The Walnut Grove Public Dock is a clean, large mooring facility to park your watercraft for a spell, while you head into town or enjoy one of the businesses close to the dock. And did I mention: it's free! There's a fee for overnight tie ups, but during the day, it's like parking your car on the curb. On our recent camping trip just down the rover from Isleton, our group took a flotilla of boats to the ice cream place at the dock. Summer conditions in the delta made the water warm and relatively clear, and the kids tubes and wake boarded on the way up the river to Walnut Grove. We tied up to the dock, gorged on sweet treats, and returned for a sundown boat ride back. Apparently, fishing used to be allowed here; not anymore. In fact, there are lots of rules posted here, almost comically... and there's room on the wall for more rules to be posted at the whim and fancy of the city council. Definitely a different way of living than our SoCal freeway lifestyle.

Actually the main business is off the river-just across the street. A liquor store; a place where…read moreyou can get chips, beer, soda and ice....all things needed while on the river. But, if you're like us, you not only need ice and soda, you need a place to dock the boat, to load and unload passengers, maybe take a quick swim or just get on land for a bit. We've been meeting friends on the Boon-Dox for years. Sometimes if Bob is in one of his fishing crazes, which is pretty much all the time, he hits New Hope at dawn and stays out on the Sacramento Delta til at least dusk. That is too long for me. I prefer a lazy morning of coffee and paper, some yelp, maybe even a little laundry. Then, I climb in my little red car and toodle up the road to Walnut Grove. I look for parking under the tall eucalyptus trees across the street from the Boon-Dox Liquor Store. Sometimes I spy a make-shift fruit stand off the tail gate of a seller's truck. Mmm Watermelons, perfect! Now, to drag the ice chest, pic-a-nic basket and bag o' essentials down to the dock. Once there, I begin the wait for Bob. Many times I run into a local and we strike up a conversation. People are friendly on the river. If you ever have mechanical problems you'll get help within minutes. It's not like being way laid on 680 as cars go whizzing past you at 80 miles an hour. Folks are out here to take it easy, meet some new friends, toss a line in the water or just enjoy nature. As soon as the next boat trolls by, you'll hear a call-out, "Hey dude (or dudette), you need some help"?

I have lived here since November 2017. In June 2018, Cascade Corporate Management, the park owners,…read morehired me as an independent contractor to assist the on-site community manager Barbara with the groundskeeping and maintenance duties here at New Hope. For the next year and a half, Barbara and I worked together transforming the RV park into a beautifully landscaped close-knit community that I believe anyone would be proud to call home. Additionally, Barbara was responsible for the long-needed replacement of the old weathered main dock at the busy launch ramp with an awesome, new modern 80 foot dock. Fishermen, families, boaters, and hunters who have been coming here to launch for years were so pleased and relieved to have a beautiful safe new dock. Thank you, Cascade, for believing in Barbara's dream, and agreeing to replace the dock. Thank you for giving Barbara and I the thumbs up when we desired to make improvements to the park and marina. Your generosity is valued and appreciated. Since I started working here with Barbara, she and I developed a tight working relationship, and we also became good friends. I have been so blessed to have the opportunity to have a home on the beautiful Mokulemne river, to have a job I love and take pride in, and to work with the best community manager I could hope for. It's been quite a ride. On January 1 2020, everything changed for Barbara and myself. Especially for Barbara. A new corporation took over our park. We were told that it was going to happen, and the new company, BoaVida Communities, assured Barbara and I that we would absolutely continue our duties here at New Hope , and that they were looking forward to hiring us as soon as the transfer of park ownership took place. So, Barbara and I were just waiting patiently for the changes that we had no control over. We felt uneasy, but hopeful. Unfortunately, it didn't turn out the way we had hoped. BoaVida hired new community managers, and Barbara lost her job. They were lying to her for weeks. They had no intention of keeping Barbara as community manager. They then told her to pack up and move out. They would not allow her to continue her residency here. Unbelievable. Unprofessional. Wrong. Nobody has said anything to me about my future employment or residency at this park, but since Barbara was my boss...I'm sure I'm out of a job as well. I still live here, and I love this community, and the river, but things will never be the same here without our awesome, incredible, amazing beautiful Community Manager Barbara!

I could have saved so many thousands of dollars and ruined boat trips. I had the pleasure of using their services recently, and I was so impressed with the quality of their work, The speed of their diagnosis, the fair price and the professionalism of their staff. I had my boat in for one of those nasty electrical / computer issues on my 2002 Mercruiser 496 MAG I have been dealing with for over a year. I've had several Boat mechanics and certified Mercruiser repair teams troubleshoot the problem. I've also spent thousands of dollars replacing parts and things recommended on Youtube only for more disappointment and lost time on the water. The team at Pacific Boat Services found, diagnosed and repaired the problem PROPERLY in less than an hour. Explained the issue in detail and charged me a fair price to FINALLY get her fixed and back on the water. They also gave me some recommendations on other work needed that I had no idea of and potentially saved me thousands more by catching and informing me of these very serious issues. Ramon, Kelvin, Michelle, Evelyn and the entire staff went out of their way to make sure that I was satisfied with the work that they did. I was also very happy with the price that I paid for the repairs, and I felt that I got a great value for my money. Overall, I had a great experience with Pacific Marine Services. They are a highly skilled and professional team that provides a WIDE range of boat repair services. They even do excellent custom Canvas work. The recent repairs were completed quickly and efficiently. (2 hrs for problems I've spent hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars trying to find and fix) Now my boat is very happy and so am I.
