Pretty easy approach, docks and power pedestals in good repair. Great Looper discount. Washrooms a little dated but clean enough. A short hike from the slips for larger boats to the office and washrooms. Didn't get fuel or Pumpout so can't comment. Town not walkable, need bikes or car. Weak wifi. Be sure to check out the history museum in the log structure next door!

The diesel price on 7 August was $4.49/gallon. Entrance to the marina is well marked by lateral buoys. Inside the entrance there is a modest turning basin where two passing boats need to be vigilant. When entering immediately ahead is the fuel dock and marina office/marine store. The marina is one part of the resort which has cabins, motel-like rooms, campsites, and a beach. The marina provides full service, such as repair and haul out to heated buildings (I counted 6). The walk into town is long so the car rental at $20/day is available. There is one restroom per gender in one building and a separate for boaters only (coded) shower/toilet per gender in another building. I found marina WIFI good and a two bar T-Mobile 5G signal. This is a busy marina with local boaters, rental boats, and transients (loopers (who get discounts) and non-loopers). I stayed two nights.

Drummond Island Marine Park has fixed wooden docks, 2 bathrooms and 2 showers per gender, a large laundry room, ships store and a car you can borrow for $20. We took the car to a local grocery store and the Northshore restaurant next door. We had a nice, very reasonably priced dinner. The wifi didn't work on board but we had good cell phone service.

Very nice. Lots of apparel in the ship store. Bathrooms and showers need updating. WiFi was almost nonexistent.

So many fantastic things to say about this marina!
Staff is beyond helpful.
US Customs on-site.
Wi-fi works wonderfully (using it now to write this review).
$12 all day car rental.
Nice dock shop.
Clean bathrooms.
2-3 miles from several great restaurants.

IDEAL stop for heading back into the USA from the North Channel.
