How it works

Boat storage

Indoor and outdoor boat storage are both available, for boats up to 27 ft. Only boats with a rented Boat Yard space may park in the Boat Yard.

Boat ramps

Launch from the ramps only, not the shoreline. Use the designated areas closest to the ramps for launching, loading, and unloading.

Docks

Dock slips are private. Fishing from the docks is welcome when there's no boating activity.

The only gas on Lake Aldred

Fuel up right from the water

Gamler's sells 90-octane ethanol-free (non-ethanol) gas, and boats can pump it right from the water. It's the only gas option on Lake Aldred.

Good to know

Extra watercraftThere's a fee for more than one watercraft per site, for indoor or outdoor storage. Watercraft kept on the premises in the off season are also charged. Contact the office by phone or email for current fees.
TrailersPark boat trailers on your site only while cleaning or loading and unloading. Use manufactured chocks, and label the trailer and chocks with your site number.
Safety on the waterNo wading or swimming from the shoreline, docks, or ramps. Ramps can be slippery, so take care.
Kids on the docksChildren wear life jackets on the docks or stay with a parent.
Boat washingBoats can be washed, but not on a holiday weekend or within five days before or after one. Vehicles may never be washed.
Slips for everyoneDock slips are available to campers and non-campers alike.

These are the highlights. The full rules are in the Seasonal Admission Agreement.
