I know that Coles Point has a good number of slips, albeit some are small, but they do have shore power, etc.
Kinsale is nice.... They have a pool and a screened in picnic area. Makes it nice to lounge around all day on those real hot summer weekends. Plenty of slips, the restaurant has GREAT food, and occasionally have some sort of evening entertainment at the outside bar. It's a long ride from 301 and like Randy said, it can get bumpy that far down the river.

In my opinion, Coles Point has gone downhill in the last few years. The docks are falling apart, the food and service is not so good, and the last time we went there the night entertainment attracted a huge local crowd that wasn't fun. The parking lot was full of cars with 20" wheels w/spinner hubcaps and neon lights underneath. The place was packed. Good for business I guess, not fun for boaters.

I've been going up there a few times a yr. for 15+ yrs and NEVER got stopped. I always see CG and DCPD boats too. I have a CGA safety card anyway.
