Miles of Storage
Gated Richmond storage with 24/7 access, outdoor RV and boat parking, and a 4.7-star rating from 23 reviews.
Richmond sits where the Whitewater rivers meet, and a lot of folks around here trailer a boat to the water rather than pay dock fees. There are just 2 boat storage facilities listed in town, and both earn a 4.7 rating, so the bar is set high. One is indoor, one is outdoor, and both run 24/7 gate access. That's a small market, so it pays to call ahead and see what fits your hull.

Two facilities is a thin list for a town this size, but the ratings say people are happy with what's here. Miles of Storage carries 23 reviews and handles indoor and outdoor spots plus trailer and vehicle parking, which helps if you store the tow rig alongside the boat. Southside Storage Richmond is the smaller operation with 7 reviews. Both are gated and both let you in around the clock, so launching before dawn is workable. With only 2 facilities in the city, the practical move is to check availability at both before you commit, especially in spring when everyone pulls the cover off. Ask what the entry and exit routine looks like at each gate and how much maneuvering room you get with a trailer behind you.
Indiana weather is hard on gelcoat and vinyl. Summer sun bakes upholstery and fades finishes, and winter freeze cycles are rough on anything left exposed. That makes the single indoor option worth a call first if your boat is newer or you plan to keep it a long time. Indoor space is limited, so expect it to fill early. An outdoor spot still works fine if you invest in a good fitted cover, pull the drain plug, and winterize the engine before the first hard freeze. A battery maintainer saves you a spring replacement too. Either way, confirm your insurance covers the boat while it sits off your property.
Walk the grounds before you hand over a deposit. Look at drainage where your trailer will sit, since low spots hold water and soften tires. Check the gate hours and camera coverage for yourself, then ask what happens if you need in after a storm or during a holiday weekend. Both Richmond facilities here offer 24/7 access, so use that. Confirm the spot is long and wide enough for your boat and trailer together, and ask whether the facility allows you to work on the boat on site. Get the lease terms in writing, including notice to leave, and keep a copy of your registration and proof of insurance on file with the office.
There are 2 boat storage facilities listed in Richmond. Both hold a 4.7 average rating, one from 23 reviews and the other from 7. The list is short, so call both before the season starts.
Yes, 1 of the 2 facilities offers indoor storage. That means only a limited number of spots, and they tend to go first. If you want your boat out of the sun and freeze cycles, get on the list early.
Both Richmond facilities offer 24/7 gate access, so an early morning launch or a late return from the lake is not a problem. Still, ask each office how the gate code works and what to do if it fails.
Fitting a good cover is the first step. Pull the drain plug, winterize the engine before freezing weather, and put a maintainer on the battery. Check your insurance covers off-site storage, and confirm the spot drains well so your trailer tires are not sitting in water.
