JP Marine Inc. High Performance Boat Repairs
Lakeside boat shop with outdoor RV and boat storage plus repair, service and parts on site.
Lakeside sits close enough to the lakes and the coast that a boat on a trailer is just part of life here. Three storage facilities in town serve boat owners, and another sits nearby. Average rating across them is 4.0, so the standard is decent without being fancy. Two of the three offer 24/7 gate access, which matters when you launch early or come back after dark with a wet hull and tired crew.

Of the three facilities listed here, two offer outdoor spots and one each offer covered and indoor space, so you can pick your level of protection. A few of them handle more than boats too: SuperStorage takes trailers along with boats, and it's the busiest of the bunch by review count with 50 ratings and a 3.9 average. Elm Gardens RV Storage has a dump station on site, useful if your outing involves a holding tank. JP Marine Inc. High Performance Boat Repairs pairs storage with repair work, rated 4.3 from a smaller set of reviews. Availability shifts, so call before you haul the trailer over.
Outdoor storage costs less and keeps the trailer hooked up, but sun and UV do slow damage to gelcoat, covers, and vinyl over the years. A covered bay cuts most of that. Indoor space costs more and usually means tighter maneuvering, so measure your rig and trailer tongue before you commit to a door. If you plan to launch often, the 24/7 gate access at SuperStorage and Elm Gardens is worth weighing, since marina ramps fill early on summer weekends. Confirm gate hours, insurance requirements, and whether you can work on the boat at the facility before signing anything.
Before the boat goes into storage for any length of time, pull the battery and put it on a maintainer, drain and dry the bilge, and leave the plug out. Loosen the trailer straps a touch in covered or indoor bays so the hull isn't loaded in one spot, and check tire pressure on the trailer even when it's parked. Lakeside summers run hot, so a breathable cover beats a tarp that traps moisture. Walk your bay after the first rain to spot leaks. Lock the coupler and hitch, and tell your insurer where the boat sits so the policy reflects reality.
There are 3 boat storage facilities listed in Lakeside, with 1 more nearby. Combined types across them include 2 outdoor, 1 covered, and 1 indoor option, so you have some choice in how much weather protection you want.
Two of the three facilities offer 24/7 gate access: SuperStorage and Elm Gardens RV Storage. That helps if you launch at dawn or return late. Confirm the current gate policy with the facility before you rely on after-hours entry.
Yes. SuperStorage lists trailer storage among its types alongside covered, indoor, and outdoor boat space. If your setup is a boat on a trailer, mention the total length when you call so they can match you to a bay that fits.
Ask about gate hours, insurance requirements, and whether on-site work is allowed. Check the surface for drainage and the bay for headroom. If you plan to launch often, weigh outdoor against covered or indoor space, since sun and UV wear covers and gelcoat over time.
