The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Little Rock District announced today that due to budget cuts it would be closing several parks and recreation areas, including the Pontiac Park and Campground. THIS DOES NOT MEAN THE PARK IS ACTUALLY CLOSING. It just means the Corps will not manage the park from now on. We at Pontiac Cove Marina have requested to lease and take over management of the park, which we believe will provide better service to campers and park users, as the marina is open year-round and 7 days per week, 14 hours per day during the summer months. A series of workshops to solicit public input will take place in February. We'd appreciate your support of our proposal!

We will keep you posted as we learn more information. I have already had several calls and e-mails from customers asking why they aren't able to make reservations for this summer. I assure you, the park will be open this year, but it may be a couple of months before you are able to make reservations. Keep checking back for more information. You can also follow us on facebook.
Thanks for your understanding and support!

Hello, 2012!
Thought everyone might like to see the progress on the resort since I posted some 2+ weeks ago. (I apologize, but the holidays consumed me.) As you can see, the top floor units have a pretty sweet lake view.
Bottom floor units: siding is all finished, doors and windows are in; still need shutters, ceiling fans, lights, etc...
We're back to work in 2012, but remember, the dock is only officially open from 8 a.m. to noon on Saturdays through February. If you need assistance at another time, please call ahead, and we'll be happy to make those arrangements. Just Jackie's is open on Fridays only (3 to 10 p.m.) in January, and Skip's place (As the Lake Turns Diner and Dive) is open all weekend.
For all you St. Louis folks (and anyone else who plans to attend the St. Louis Boat Show) - PCM will have a booth at the St. Louis Boat Show this year! It's Feb. 8-12. Stop by and see us!
It has been incredibly windy the past few days. We finally had some relief today. The sun has been shining, but it's cold. The next few days are supposed to be warmer (pushing 60 degrees, I think). No winter weather predicted for the near future. Could we possibly have a mild winter? I won't hold my breath...
Happy new year, all! More updates soon, I promise.
