Report Review
Not our best stay. We've been coming to Champlins for almost 20 years. We were traveling with new boaters and requested close slips on our reservations requests made several months ago. Not only was the marina not able to accommodate our requests, they had no explanation as to why - just "we can't accommodate." We managed to get a floating dock which we always request and always get but was initially told there was nothing available. It was way in where the water is pretty shallow (and where we saw a boat get stuck!) The staff while very nice are clearly not trained and offered no assistance for our friends while docking extremely close to other very large boats. No one ever came by to ask if we needed anything once we were tied in. Not the way things used to be. Champlins could always accommodate almost any request. Its clear that the direction is towards the large boats, but we even heard lots of complaints from them. I do like the facilities and everything else about Champlins, but again, not our best visit. We may need to rethink next year.
