What is actually available
Two facilities in Battle Ground handle boats, and both offer covered space. One goes further with indoor and climate-controlled storage, which matters around here when the rain sets in for months and mold finds its way into cushions and carpet. Neither lists outdoor storage, so if you are hunting for cheap open-air parking, you will be looking at the five nearby options instead. Only one of the two keeps a 24/7 gate, so check hours against your own schedule before you sign anything. A boat you cannot reach on a Saturday morning is not much use.
The two facilities
Principal RV & Self Storage carries the stronger reputation at 4.9 stars from 137 reviews, and it is the one with indoor, covered, boat and climate-controlled space plus round-the-clock access. North County RV & Boat sits at 3.6 stars from just 7 reviews, which is a thin sample, so read the reviews yourself rather than trusting the number. It offers covered boat storage with a gate and lighting. Lighting sounds minor until you are backing a trailer in at dusk. Visit both in person, look at the ground, and ask how they handle a boat that sits for months.
Practical notes for storing a boat
Cover keeps UV off gelcoat and keeps needles and leaves out of the bilge, but in western Washington the bigger enemy is trapped moisture. Leave vents open, pull the drain plug, and check on the boat now and then rather than sealing it up and forgetting it. A battery maintainer saves you a spring surprise. Confirm your insurance covers the boat at a storage address, not just on the water. And ask about the gate before you commit, since only one of these two runs 24/7 access.
