Marina Dock Campground

We have 10' deck on our 40' slip that we have turned into an open cabana. It's great to have a little privacy (not too much though) a tv and a shower outside the boat. We did have to give up our gas grills this year (thanks Tulsa District Corps for enforcing that). We run around the lake a lot more recently in our whaler and leave the boat sitting at the dock with the air on more and more as we've had a long 100+ degree stretch here in North Texas.
I don't intend to leave anytime soon, but if I did I would have a hard time not having an improved slip with a patio.
 
Heck several folks at our marina have converted big 80' slips for their 40' boat with a big part deck built into the slip (keeps main thoroughfair open) and have everything from big grills, stoves, full size fridge, etc. etc. to big 50" flatscreens mounted up on the roof supports and seating for 40.
 
One thing that I have noticed though....there are some marinas that actively police and patrol and control what improvements are being made.....there are others that do not. I would make darn sure that I was in a marina that DID vs. Did not. There is one marina in particular that looks horrible in our are with what looks like a tent city afloat.
