Pick your cover level
Outdoor spots are the most common at 141, and for a trailerable boat that often makes sense if you can keep it shaded and covered. Covered storage, 75 of these facilities, keeps rain and sun off the gelcoat without walling you in. Indoor, at 107, is the choice for anyone storing over winter or running a boat that does not like freeze and thaw. Think about what your hull and electronics actually face sitting outside for months in Ohio. A cheap cover beats no cover, but a roof beats a tarp that flaps and traps moisture.
Access and security
130 of these facilities offer 24/7 gate access, which matters if you fish early or tow out after work. Gated and lit entrances show up at several of the higher-rated places, including Public Storage locations rated 4.9 and 4.8. Ask about gate hours before you sign, because a great rate does not help if the gate is locked when you want to launch. Visit at night once. A well-lit yard tells you more than the listing does. Confirm your boat and trailer are covered on your insurance while stored, and check what the facility requires for proof.
Names that keep showing up
Compass Self Storage appears three times in the top-rated group, at 4.9, 4.8 and 4.8 across 1478, 844 and 681 reviews. ClearHome Self Storage also rates 4.9 on 878 reviews. Public Storage holds two spots at 4.9, one with 287 reviews and one with 108. That kind of repetition is worth noticing: multiple locations means consistent service or at least a track record you can check. Read the recent reviews for the specific location, not just the brand. Managers change, and so does how a yard is run.
