Avista Marina

great experience

A VERY DISAPPOINTING ENCOUNTER We did our home work first by calling and explaining our plans to launch , park ,and camp on the state park islands. No problem at first. The staff was helpful. The next day, however, the OWNER OR MANAGER (Greg) was a totally different story. We were told at check in that we could use the facilities after spending over $400 for boat permit, launching , parking fees for 5 days. NO PROBLEM on the cost , we realize things are expensive. But when we came back to either use the facilities or drop people off to pick up their vehicles we were met with a totally different welcome . The OWNER/MANAGER Greg threatened us with verbal abuse. Using words " You Campers abusing this marina". Threatening to have our vehicles towed and or saying good luck getting our vehicles out for they will be blocked in. Stating you're going to be banned from Lake George and he was going to call the police- all over taking a shower. Just what you what hear when you going on vacation and paid for their services . ( we even tried to de-esculate the situation by apologizing. There must have been a miscommunication) But he would hear none of it ! And To make matters worse the OWNER/ MANAGER called one of us out with a verbal conversation AND stated he wanted a physical confrontation. At a time when tourism is down, and all of us live locally, its embarrassing that the is how people are being treated. Unreal.

Friendly fast service
