Indoor, covered, or out in the open
Of the 62 facilities, 35 offer indoor storage and 39 offer outdoor space, with 10 covered spots in the mix. If you store a classic or a rig you care about, indoor is the safer bet against sun and hail. Outdoor works fine for a work truck or a trailer you don't mind washing. Covered bays split the difference, keeping the worst of the weather off without a full building. Check what the ground is like before you commit to outdoor, since a gravel pad handles spring mud better than bare dirt. Ask each facility how they handle snow removal around the doors and aisles.
Room for boats and trailers
This is not just a car market. There are 35 facilities that take boats and 11 that handle trailers, plus 6 that accommodate semis. If you tow a boat to the lakes or keep a flatbed for farm work, filter for those types first. Some sites are set up for long rigs and wide turns, others are tight. Measure your trailer and your tow vehicle together before you call, then ask whether they can fit the combination without blocking anyone in. A little measuring now saves a lot of backing up later.
Gate hours and access
Gate access matters more than people think. Across the state, 47 of the 62 facilities offer 24/7 gate access. That is handy if you work odd hours or want to pull the boat out before dawn. If your facility keeps limited hours, plan your trips around them and keep your gate code somewhere you will actually find it. Ask about lighting at the entrance and whether cameras cover the rows, especially if you visit after dark. A facility with cameras and a gated entrance gives you a record if something goes wrong with your vehicle.
