Report Review
Although the staff is very friendly and dockhands were helpful, the organization and placement of boats is terrible. We have traveled before to champlains and loved it in the past, but this year they did not consider that our 33 foot boat would not fare well on the outside tip of a T dock. The weather was not good at night both nights we were there and we had 3-5 foot chop in the marina. We banged against the dock both nights and our boat was tipping side to side, even though our wide 13.5 ft beem usually prevents that. Champlains can't control the weather, but given the forecast the size of a boat should determine placemt in the marina. We had a 92 foot yacht next to us, further in the marina protected better. We asked to be more inside when we docked but the dockhand said it couldn't be changed.
Additionally the docks (except the main dock) are all covered with moss, and when wet, are very slippery. Our daughter slipps getting off the boat and sprained her ankle due to the slippery green moss/mildew.
Lastly, the bathrooms by the pool were disgusting. 4 of the 5 toilets were clogged and there were no attendants.
