With only two places in town, you may want to call ahead about availability, especially for covered spots. If neither fits, seven more facilities are within a short drive. That gives you room to compare gate hours, surface type, and security before you commit.
Covered vs. outdoor: picking a spot
Covered storage costs more but blocks sun and hail, which matters in Arkansas. UV rays break down vinyl, gelcoat, and tires over time, and a roof keeps that off your boat. Outdoor spots are cheaper and easier to find, but you'll want a good cover and a way to keep water from pooling. Check the ground: gravel drains better than dirt, and pavement is best for jack stands. At Storage Lion, the climate control is a plus if you store gear or electronics aboard. For either type, confirm gate hours and whether you can access your boat after hours.
Security and access details
One facility in Van Buren has 24/7 gate access, and another is gated with cameras. Ask how often the lot is checked and whether there's lighting. If you plan to work on your boat at the facility, make sure that's allowed. Also check the gate width and aisle space if you have a wide trailer. Insurance may cover your boat in storage, but it's worth confirming with your provider. And if you're storing over winter, pull the battery or use a maintainer, and leave the plug out so water can drain.
