Horseshoe Bend Marina is a secluded get away situated on the scenic head waters of Center Hill Lake. Our marina is only (by water) a mile from Rock Island State Park's Sand Bar and boat ramp. It is the perfect place to spend time away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Whether you are wanting to go boating, fishing, or camping, we have quite a bit to offer.
As one of the few marinas on Center Hill Lake that stays open year 'round, we rent boats, boat slips, and camp sites. Fall scenic tours and year 'round guided fishing tours are available also. We have a boat ramp that is easily accessible even when the lake water level is low. Our store offers a variety of drinks, snacks, camping supplies, boating supplies, and fishing supplies.
We are also operating under new ownership and new management. With this said, we invite you to come by, meet the new managers, and see the improvements that have been made. Please, take the time to look through our web site for all the services we offer!
Love it here. Pretty quiet, right next to the water. Beautiful scenery and the staff is very pleasant! We brought lights and small comforts for our stay in one of their pre built tent sites. Overall great experience. Bathrooms could using frequent cleaning however that is to be expected during busy season. Update: the pontoon for rent is a bit janky so dont go very far. The zippers on the prebuilt tent were broke causing our dog to get out i picked her up from the store and later found out they charged me $45 because she got out without saying anything before hand i had to ask about this mysterious charge and they said they had to charge a pet fee because she got out! So watch your pets and your debit/ credit card!
Not only did I get to glamp in the dreamy tent, but Horseshoe Bend Marina also offers Campsite Crudité service to your site! Since we were only there for one night, and truly needed some downtime we chose not to cook and to select-in to the crudité option + wine and home-made breakfast burritos to warm on the fire for the morning.
One night is not enough btw, staying a couple of nights would be ideal so you have time to fully unwind, grab some time on the rental kayaks and enjoy the stars that we rarely get to see in the city.
All of our interactions were socially distanced, masks are worn indoors, and the bathroom spaces were kept very clean for camper safety.
Thanks for having us Horse Shoe Bend Marina!
The hosts are very generous and friendly. Camp sites are maintained nicely. It's right on the water with amazing views. Kayak rentals available. Super awesome waterfall about a mile by water from the campground.
The perfect place for a weekend getaway with friends! Camping amenities were wonderful and the managers are helpful with whatever you need. Also I recommend renting one of their kayaks and checking out the falls nearby!
Super cute hidden 💎! Friendly staff and very welcoming. Told us of the close waterfalls to kayak to and exactly where to go. We stayed during the week and was the only ones there. Peaceful and quiet
