Are you towing that beautiful boat from St. Louis to Phoenix with a half ton?

You're looking at a 1 hour drive from downtown Phoenix. Cheaper to rent a car for a day if you want to hit the lake.

Regardless I will be at Desert Storm.

Campbell boat service can store and launch and retrieve your boat for you, they can also stock it with what ever you want and gas it up as well.

The big problem will be getting slip space. The marina is run by jerks, they have a long waiting list for slips and they are just not very nice. Sometimes you can rent a slip for a week end or week, but forget about any holiday weekends.
Personally I stay away from the marina, don't want to give them any more of my money, I would rather burn it.
Havasu is a really fun lake, and lots happening.
