Welcome Our Newest Neighbor: Oconee Boat & RV Storage!
We’re thrilled to introduce Oconee Boat & RV Storage, the newest addition to the Lake Oconee Life family! Locally owned and operated by Chris Bolen, this brand-new business is all about giving boat and RV owners a secure, convenient, and hassle-free place to store their prized possessions—just minutes from your favorite boat ramps.
Chris’s vision has been 20 years in the making, and now, it’s come to life right here in Morgan County. With covered parking, 24/7 gated access, and a concierge-style experience on the horizon, Oconee Boat & RV Storage is raising the bar for what storage should be.
When Local Businesses Team Up, The Community Wins!
What’s better than a business that makes lake life easier? Two of them working together. Oconee Boat & RV Storage has teamed up with their next-door neighbor, Boat Works, to offer boat owners a one-two punch of convenience and care.
Boat Works will keep your boat running like a dream, and Oconee Boat & RV Storage will keep it safe and secure when you’re not on the water. It’s a partnership built on local business owners who truly understand what Lake Oconee living is all about—working together to serve the community better.
At Lake Oconee Life, we’re passionate about spotlighting businesses that collaborate, grow, and give back to the lake lifestyle we all love.
