What Mitchell's Bay Marine Park Limited does

Mitchell's Bay Marine Park Limited operates a recreational marina and campground facility located at 3 Allen Road on the Northeast shore of Lake St. Clair in Mitchell's Bay, Ontario (Chatham-Kent). The privately-held company employs approximately 5 people and offers an integrated set of outdoor recreation services including 250 seasonal and transient boat slips, 8 launch ramps, 131 seasonal campsites, and 25 transient camping sites with hydro and water hook-ups. Additional on-site amenities include a bait shop, gas bar, pump-out station, Scuttlebutt Cafe, clubhouse, and shower/laundry facilities. The marina is recognized as one of Ontario's premier sport fishing destinations and hosts multiple fishing tournaments annually.

The business generates revenue through seven distinct streams: seasonal campsite subscriptions (ranging from ~$3,842 to $6,512 CAD per site), seasonal floating dock slips at $73-$86 per foot, transient overnight and weekly camping, boat launch fees (daily at $23, seasonal at ~$396), boat and trailer storage, fuel and bait sales, pump-out services, and authorized General Coach park model sales. Seasonal contracts must be signed by October 15th of the prior year, with full-payment discounts available, creating strong annual recurring revenue from seasonal pass holders. GTM is predominantly direct-to-consumer through the company website, phone, email, walk-in traffic, and event-driven acquisition via fishing tournaments. Distribution partnerships with the Explorer RV Club, Chatham-Kent Economic Development, and Boating Ontario (Clean Marine certification) extend reach into regional RV and tourism communities.

Operationally, the company relies on conventional marina infrastructure with no disclosed proprietary technology systems, AI/ML capabilities, or software platforms. Recent capital investments include 2026 channel dredging to maintain 3.5'-4.5' navigable depths, washroom renovations, and the development of a new park model area with lake views. The company has been operating continuously since at least 2004 per the website copyright notice, with no disclosed ownership changes, funding rounds, or M&A activity.
