11/19/2024 using review from earlier this month I left the main channel using the channel shown on my chart plotter, suspect there is a green buoy missing at the entrance, but a large tree that appeared to be aground where a green buoy might have been made the point regarding depth. I always had at least 10' or more in the channel entering the marina. I arrived after hours so no one on site that I saw, but was given contact information for a security guard if needed. Other than walking the docks I did not go exploring. The person who took my reservation was very helpful in making the reservation but was not familiar with transient dock layout. This turned out to be a non issue as there were several places to choose from. There was only 50 amp power which I had been told, no cleats to tie to, just the support poles and the structure used to support the walkway. A pretty , quiet location. I left at sunrise. Cell service with ATT was adequate.

This Resort, a Marina and KOA Campground, is an inexpensive gem! It was very tricky to come into due to very shallow waters and two misplaced ATONs, two red ones parallel with each other and one really badly misplaced. We tried two routes first, getting into less than a foot of water under our keel, but backed out again. Thankfully Tiffany FaceTimed us and helped guide us right into the marina. The channel indicated on Navionics was correct, so let that be your guide, not necessarily the ATONs.

Two helpful, friendly guys, Lawrence and Pete, caught lines for us, helped us fuel up (cheapest gas around) and pump out (free!) and get us tied up on a long dock. Lawrence is also the cook at the in-house restaurant, so we decided to go in and get a good burger and fries. The menu was limited due to the Resort closing for the season on November 11, about a week from when we were there.

Truly a beautiful area with electric, water, laundry facilities (although we didn't use them) and Tiffany even offered to find us a courtesy car if we needed one! For only $1/ft, we'll stop back here on our way back from Nashville!

Great stop! Inexpensive docking and free pump out. Restaurant was okay. We ate there to support the inexpensive stay. The marina is part of a KOA Campground, so very kid and dog friendly. Local boaters super friendly and welcoming. The owner is a fellow Looper.

Looping in segments and this was our home for 11 months. Staff friendly and helpful. G & G Boatworks did some work for us during that time and did a good job.

This is our second stay at Prizer Point marina and we love it! Greg, the owner, and his staff are very friendly and efficient. Greg and his wife are currently doing the Loop, but he drove in to make sure that diesel fuel delivery system was fixed. The technician determined that there was a faulty capacitor in the fuel tank. This is not the type of problem that marina staff typically deal with. We were given a complimentary night at the transient dock while we waited for it to be fixed. We just couldn't pass up the fantastic rate: $4.36 / gallon for diesel and $4.09 for regular gas! The KOA campground and restaurant will be closing for the season in 1 week (early November 2022). However, marina services including transient slips, fuel, bathrooms and showers remain open. The closest laundry has been shut down because it is the oldest area of the campground and has been winterized. Another on site laundry facility is a complementary golf cart ride away. Boaters are asked to call Tiffany (who lives on a boat at the marina) for special requests. Her number is 270 625-3716.

Total incompetence. Nobody knew how to make the pumps work to fuel boats. We waited for 45 minutes to an hour and finally left.

Prizer Point Marina is also a KOA campground. It has fuel, floating, cement docks, bathrooms, showers, laundry, a pool, ships store and restaurant. We tied to a long dock just across the water from the fuel dock. The staff are friendly and professional. It's kid and pet friendly and the free internet worked well at the dock.
