RV & Boat Adventures Near The Colony, TX
Use RecNation as your home base. Top destinations within easy reach of our The Colony facilities.
The Colony sits along the shoreline of Lake Lewisville, where boating and water recreation draw residents and visitors throughout the year. That proximity to the water, combined with the area's humid subtropical climate, means boat owners face real storage challenges. Summer temperatures in the region regularly reach 95 degrees, and annual rainfall averages 34.9 inches, creating conditions where direct sun exposure and moisture can affect boats left uncovered for extended periods.
Beyond water sports, the area's location within the Dallas-Fort Worth corridor means many boat owners use their vessels seasonally or store them between trips. Whether you use your boat frequently or keep it ready for weekend excursions, finding secure, accessible storage nearby makes managing your vessel straightforward.

The closest option is approximately 10.8 miles away in Corinth, with additional locations in Plano, Melissa, Wylie, Princeton and Anna.

Storage Options Available in The Colony
Boat storage needs vary based on how often you use your vessel and what level of weather protection matters most. RecNation's three storage types let you balance protection, convenience and cost according to your situation.
Outdoor Canopy
Canopy storage reduces your boat's direct exposure to overhead sun and rainfall while keeping access straightforward. The fabric covering limits UV exposure that can affect gel coat and hardware finishes, and it helps shed rain rather than allowing it to pool on the vessel. This option sits between outdoor uncovered parking and fully enclosed indoor storage in terms of weather protection.
Canopy storage is popular with owners who use their boats regularly and want meaningful protection without the premium cost of indoor garage space. You retain the convenience of quick access while minimizing some of the effects of Texas sun and humidity.
Outdoor Uncovered
Outdoor uncovered storage keeps your boat exposed to the full range of weather conditions, including direct sun, rain and humidity. This option works best for owners who prioritize the lowest price and are comfortable with regular boat maintenance to address weather exposure. Outdoor uncovered storage at RecNation starts at $54 per month, making it an economical choice for budget-conscious owners.
If you choose uncovered storage, regular cleaning, protective covers and routine maintenance become more important in managing the effects of Texas heat and moisture. However, many boat owners use this option successfully when they maintain their vessels consistently.
Indoor Garage
Indoor garage storage offers the most comprehensive protection, separating your boat from direct sun, rain, wind and weather elements. An enclosed space helps limit humidity swings and keeps your boat in a climate-controlled environment, which can be particularly valuable for boats stored for extended periods between uses.
Indoor garage storage at RecNation starts at $124 per month. While this option costs more than covered or uncovered alternatives, the protection and climate control make it worth considering if your boat represents a significant investment or if you store it for months at a time.
Security Features at RecNation
- 24/7 gate access
- Continuous video monitoring
- Fully fenced perimeters
