Port of Camas-Washougal

The Port of Camas Washougal is a great asset to the communities it serves. The staff is always friendly and helpful and every event is family-​centric and well organized. A previous commenter was not happy with the marina at the port and I feel the need to clarify for her that the port operates the boat launch and marina but does not operate the mechanics’ shop that offers services tot he public. That is privately run and called Riverside Marine.

We have «vowed» to ourselves to never go back to the Marina at the Port of Camas-​Washougal for any work on our boat. Last summer we had a new starter put in and when we took our boat to Pend Orielle Lake in Northern Idaho, the engine did not turn over! We were stuck and had to frantically look for a mechanic to help us out
, Our boat motor has never been reliable after their work. We are at fault (because my husband is too nice!) because we never challenged them on their repair and follow up on the warranty. I also felt the woman that dealt with us lastl summer was very snooty and could have cared less about our problems (maybe because our boat is not a big expensive cruiser!). Today, we went (so stupid of us!) and needed help with our smaller motor and the man (older guy) was very rude… he said it would take «weeks» to get it fixed and basically said «good luck»…he talked down to my husband and was just a jerk! We will never go back there! We took out boat to Pacific Boatland on Hwy 99, Vancouver WA and dealt with Randy and he was friendly very helpful and we will have our boat back in a couple of days! My advice: do not go to the Marina at the port of camas and washougal. those people need to learn some basic «PR» skills! and get a mechanic that knows what he is doing as well!!!

We came for the 4^th of July festival this past weekend. It was a great show, family friendly and not overly crowded. Im pretty sad that the announcement was for the city of washougal only, and no mention of camas.

I absolutely love the staff and environment at the port. I wouldn’t imagine taking my boat anywhere else for the summer. The marina is always clean, well taken care of and constantly being updated. I highly recommend it. You won’t regret it.
