Roundabout Storage
Bemidji self-storage on Division St W with 24-hour access, drive-up units, and RV and boat parking.
Bemidji boat owners know the routine: get the boat home, hose it down, and then stare at the driveway wondering where it can live for the next eight months. The city has a small set of storage facilities that handle boats, and a couple of them stay open around the clock. Most of what is listed here comes with strong ratings, so the choice tends to come down to access and how much room your trailer needs.

Four facilities in Bemidji list boat storage, and two of those also handle vehicles, which helps if the tow rig needs a home too. Two of the four offer 24/7 gate access, a real difference for anyone who launches early or pulls in after dark. Roundabout Storage, Hide-N-Seek Mega Storage and The Safe all carry 5.0 ratings from a handful of reviews, while Dick's Boat & RV Storage sits at 3.0. Call ahead and ask about gate hours, security and whether your trailer counts against the space. Minnesota winters are hard on gelcoat, vinyl and batteries, so covered space is worth asking about even where it is not listed.
A boat that sits through a northern winter needs more than a tarp thrown over the cover. Pull the battery and keep it on a maintainer somewhere warm, and fog the engine if you are storing it cold. Lower the outboard or drain the lower unit so trapped water cannot freeze and crack the housing. Loose covers flap in wind and rub gelcoat, so strap everything down tight and check it after the first big blow. Bemidji sees plenty of sun in summer as well, and UV does slow damage to seats and covers. A quick walk around the hull before you leave each season catches problems early.
Storage yards are not all the same, and the details matter more than the star rating. Ask whether the space is gravel or paved, since gravel holds frost heave differently and can tilt a trailer over a winter. Confirm who has keys to the gate and whether cameras cover the rows. Check with your insurance agent that the boat stays covered while it sits off your property, because some policies treat stored boats differently. If your rig is long, measure it before you commit and ask about turning room. Then read the contract on notice periods and rate changes, and get the access rules in writing.
Four facilities in Bemidji list boat storage. Two of them also list vehicle storage, and two offer 24/7 gate access. All four appear under the boat storage category, with ratings ranging from 3.0 to 5.0 across a small number of reviews.
Roundabout Storage, Hide-N-Seek Mega Storage and The Safe each show a 5.0 rating, though the review counts are low, so treat them as a starting point rather than a final answer. Dick's Boat & RV Storage shows 3.0. Visit in person before you decide.
Yes, two of the four list 24/7 gate access: Roundabout Storage and The Safe. That helps with late returns from the lake or an early start. Still ask how the gate works after hours and whether you get a code or a key.
Pull the battery and keep it on a maintainer, drain the lower unit, and fog the engine if you store it cold. Strap the cover tight so wind does not rub the gelcoat. Check your insurance for coverage while the boat sits at a facility, and note the gate hours before your last trip of the season.
