Bidwell Creek Ship’s Store Opening

Opening Weekend is April 18, 2026

It hasn’t been without its difficulties, but we are proud to announce that the newly renovated Ship’s Store at Bidwell Creek, is set to open the weekend April 18-19, 2026. We have a lot of new things to show off, from branded merchandise like mugs, blankets, and bags, to tee shirts, banners, and hats. There will be tackle and bait, snacks and drinks, sunscreen and bug spray, plus plenty of ice.

In addition to the store itself, which is fashioned on an old General Store concept, we are proud to announce our brand new bathrooms, accessible 24/7 through the back door by marina members in good standing.

The Fuel Dock is still a few weeks away. We are waiting for our new custom pump, but rest assured it will be here soon and we will be operational before you know it.

Any Day On The Water Is A Good Day

We have a saying at Haven Marina Resorts, a little mantra of sorts, that helps to keep us in check and remind us of what’s important. It goes, “Any day on the water is a good day.” It might seem a bit elementary at first glance, an anodyne platitude without any deeper meaning or purpose, but we believe it’s a critical reminder to all who set foot on one of our properties, be they Guest or Crew. This is a gift.

Soak Up The Sun

The days are longer, the air is warming, and life has a fresh smell to it that makes you feel alive. We’re on the cusp of summer and everything on the marsh is coming to life after a particular long and grueling winter. Here at the marina, it’s been a busy off season with lots to be thankful for despite lots obstacles. That’s how it goes when you’re dealing with anything as unpredictable as nature. You do the best with the cards you’ve been dealt and thank your lucky stars for another chance to delight in a wondrous world.

There was plenty of great food, courtesy of Green Room Catering, and many enjoyed a glass of wine or beer with an amazing view of the marina and the marsh beyond.
