Copper Top Storage
Newer La Porte storage facility with RV, boat and car parking, 24/7 access and a 4.9 rating from 10 reviews.
Locked-N-Loaded Storage
Valparaiso storage yard for RVs, boats and cars, rated 4.9 by reviewers who call it clean, secure and well run.
Covered, indoor, or out in the open
Of the 2 facilities here, both list indoor and outdoor spots, and 1 also lists covered parking. That three-way split matters for a car or an RV. Indoor walls and a roof keep sun, sleet and tree sap off the paint and the roof seams. Covered keeps the worst of the sky off but leaves the sides exposed. Outdoor is the cheapest and the most weather-facing. Given the lake effect snow and the summer UV here, indoor is worth asking about first if your vehicle sits for months. If you plan to move it weekly, outdoor plus a good wax and cover does the job.
The two facilities
Intra-Lock Self Storage Units earns 4.8 stars from 32 reviews and lists covered, indoor, outdoor, boat and vehicle space. It also has 24/7 gate access, cameras and lighting, which is a strong combo for anyone who tows in late or works odd hours. Alpha Storage Michigan City, IN has 4.2 stars from 54 reviews and offers indoor, outdoor, boat and climate-controlled space behind a gate. Both handle boats, which is useful on a lake town. Climate control is the one feature only Alpha lists. If you store a classic or a vehicle with a battery you'd rather not cook, ask about it.
Before you sign
Check gate hours against your schedule first. If a facility locks at a set time and you fish or work late, that's a daily problem, so confirm in writing. Walk the unit and look for standing water, a cracked slab, or a roof that leaks. Ask what the insurance on your rig covers while it's parked, because facility coverage and your own policy are not the same thing. For longer layups, pull the battery or put it on a maintainer, top off the fuel, and leave the tires off bare dirt. Winterizing matters here with lake-effect snow. Book indoor space early in fall, since covered and indoor spots are the first to go.
