We stayed here in 2021 at the beginning our our Great Loop trip. We loved the people and the new docks. They had a big 50+ footer in here. So there is enough water. BUT I recommend you get someone to talk you in. (start on VHF16) Afternoons are more likely to have volunteer members around to help catch lines etc.

DOCKWA is the game here.

The club is 100% member owned, and all the staff is volunteer. This makes for a unique "feel" and atmosphere. VERY FRIENDLY folks who will do anything to help you with what you need.

Again, get someone to talk you in thru the channel. They have invested in some dredging equipment to expand their operation, and gone thru all the permitting. $1 for 10 pounds of ice, free 50/30 shore power. Reasonable fee. Clean restrooms/showers. Instacart works, or ask someone for a ride (they may give you their car!). West Marine, shopping of all kinds just a mile or 3 away.

We signed up for 2 nights, then stayed for 2 more, as they had Taco Thursday tonight and bean hole tournament ... winner takes all. They have a bar / lounge here with volunteer members serving you if they are here.... there is always someone here by 2:00pm. Self-serve Pumpout no cost, worked will for us, double fressh water flush!

It is a different type of place, which we LOVE... and have made friends with several here. A great place to get a cheap cocktail with other boaters after finishing the Flight.

Stopped for the night westbound after the Waterford Flight. 10 feet of water in the channel on the way in. 5 feet at the docks. Note that they have added onto the docks and moved them to deeper water. Club members entertained us. Bar was great and inexpensive. Local restaurant delivered great food to the clubhouse where we sat at a corner table overlooking the Mohawk. Bathrooms and showers were great. Pump out available and worked great. Gas only. No diesel. Highly recommend stopping here. We were here in a Grand Banks 42 Classic. You can reserve a slip on Dockwa, or call them directly.

Nice stop after finishing flight of 5 locks. Super friendly people throughout the club. We enjoyed meeting some of the members. There is a nice park with long walking trails across the street that our dog loved exploring. Nice docks with good power. We stayed on the brand new addition. There was also a 90 foot transient that night. Excellent pumpout.
