Champlains was sold

To be honest ...I will never go back there again. Just some things.. at 9.50 a foot you get this..I waited 45 min outside the gas dock before I get pulled in. They forgot about me and pulled in other boats. Really wasn't that busy. Pull to the floating dock and it is so old my wife and all our friends almost kept falling off it because it was so wobbly. My friend lost his scooter in the water off it when it wobbled so bad, and it was laying on its side. The bathrooms were disgusting. They didn't keep up on cleaning them and the toilet was always clogged with paper on the floors. The garbage cans were overflowing and in the morning they were never empty. At 8am still full. Pool was falling apart, with tiles falling off and just ugly. Prices of food was out of control. I asked for 2 bacon egg with 2 coffee. He pulled out a pre made sandwich in plastic and heats it in the microwave, $32. Ballards...LOL 1 Mich ultra and a wine, $26. Now I'm not complaining about money. I'm not happy with the price to quality and what you get for it there. We went to Newport before Block and it was Awesome. MUCH better then Block and less expensive all around.
Sorry to hear that. Last year we waited a while also to get pulled in. It sounds like the rest went downhill. The pool is the first stop for us when we arrive so it’s really a shame that is not kept up.
We will think long and hard before we book next years trip….

Old thread but. Going there next weekend. I wouldn’t be going if it wasn’t for a few friends that I’m meeting up with. Only staying a couple days, but at $9 a foot with a 37foot min is insane. No more rafting also. Payne’s I’d still 4.50 a foot with no min but the wife won’t raft or climb the wall.
What dates? I'll be there 19,20,21. No not a cheap trip. Theres no more rafting , so you'll have your own slip.We were supposed to do Newport 17,18 then run to block 19,20,21. But because of the upcoming weather were running to Newport this Monday the 15th-leaving 19th then doing block. Good thing is gas has come down a bit. I called Paynes and there gas is like $5.00 a gallon. Not sure of Champlins. The last I looked it was $6.20. wtf. Newport is at $5.25
 
Hi, when you say "no more rafting" i assume you mean by Chaplains area. New Harbor? i have a 25 ft boat and typical anchor around the other side at the "Old Harbor for a couple of days. haven't been there in 4 years... Thanks
