Roosevelt Lake Marina and RV Park

I rented a double decker pontoon boat back in April for my son’s bachelor party. There were 10 of us going. The boat has a slide from to top deck which was a great idea. The original idea was to enjoy some swimming, jumping off the deck, using the slide but also doing some fishing as most of the guys brought their fishing gear. I have rented pontoons on Roosevelt for years, taking my son and his friends fishing and exploring. When we showed up and got ready to load gear we were informed that we couldn’t bring the fishing gear. Apparently they changed their rules about after 3 experiences with renters fishing and line getting caught in the motor and destroying it cost $2500. Still i found it super hard to believe that I couldn’t fish on a rented boat. Its too bad rules get made to punish the majority when a few incompetent people do the wrong thing. So we left the gear and went and tried to enjoy the day. Right out of the gate we ran into issues with the boat. We got out past the no wake zone and went full throttle to enjoy the ride. Only problem is the throttle wouldn’t hold position, so it had to be held the whole time, which is ridiculous. Then the engine hit a limit which made the boat throttle down like it had broke. Apparently there is a revving limit on the boat. Both are things I have never had to deal with any boat rental I have ever had. We had definitely thought about going back and canceling the day, but instead we went by the dam and had a great time the rest of the day! I was very disappointed with the rules made up for this trip and voiced my disappointment and frustration with the guys loading us out. If I had known of the no fishing off the boat earlier I would have switched our trip to another lake or did a different rental. And apparently the fishing rule was made after i made my reservation. The bright spot is that while we we out there we did get a voice mail from someone in the rental shop. They credited back 50% of the rental and I was happy about that. The guys had a great trip and enjoyed time spent together.

What a breath of fresh air coming to this marina. We are huge fans of lake Powell. But the service we received at Roosevelt versus antelope point is night and day. Lake Powell staff are silent and "just business". Roosevelt was so friendly. They were happy and grateful to have you. It was so cool. It felt like we were locals. They won us over. We will for sure be back often. Amy was our favorite in the general store.

Nice Lake Views. The lake side rows are electric only with FHU in the back rows. All sites were basically dirt driveways spaced out. Initially they assigned us to be neighbors with the only other campers in a 12 site row. When we requested to be spaced out more, they offered site 2 or 3 which are separated by the road and right next to the lake. Some sites had picnic tables....it looked like they were in the process of adding new tables to the sites. Be sure to visit the Roosevelt Dam and Bridge. Take the Apache Trail road up to the Dam Overlook park for a very interesting view of the backside and water flow that makes the Salt River.

It was a peaceful and quiet visit. It was pretty much a GHOST TOWN… but hey I’m definitely not complaining!!

The staff at the marina were incredible! The hospitality of Dave, Jack, and Daniel were so unbelievably accommodating that I had to praise and thank them multiple times. They provided a thorough safety brief, provided transportation to and from the lot, and were full of laughs and kindness. The boat was in good shape too. Thanks everybody! We had a blast, we're grateful for you, and we'll definitely be back!!
