We did not stay at the docks, but picked up a mooring in the cove just north of the Basin. There are about 6 morings at $20 a night, but you need to walk or dingy around to the main Basin to pay the harbormaster. Dingy in from the moorings and tie up at the dock for the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum. This is a free museum and can easily take half a day walking around and looking at dislays. The actual Basin Harbor is a true resort, with nice facilities, swimming, bouncy rats for the kids and boat rentals. There is an 18 hole golf course, three restaurants and a grass airstrip so friends can fly in to visit. There are probably 90 cabins for rent. Thursday night there is an all you can eat surf and turf buffet under the tent. A little pricey ($70) but nice. If you are cruising the lake, this is a must stop.
