Looking for boat and trailer storage in Newton, Conover, or the greater Catawba County area? Newton-Conover Self Storage at 2423 N Main Ave in Newton has fenced outdoor parking pads for boats on trailers, jet skis, pontoons, ski boats, bass boats, and cargo trailers — with 6 AM to 10 PM gate access seven days a week.

Why store your boat with us

• Practical for Lake Norman AND Lake Hickory owners. ~30 min north of Lake Norman, ~15 min west of Lake Hickory. Central Catawba County location covers both major boating markets without a long drive.
• Fenced, gated lot with security cameras. Your boat isn’t sitting on the residential driveway or exposed at a marina lot. Fully fenced perimeter, individual gate codes per tenant, 24/7 video monitoring.
• Wide lane access for towing. Enough turning room to actually maneuver a boat trailer in and out with a truck. No cramped driveway-scraping.
• 6 AM to 10 PM gate access. Practical for early-morning launches — hitch up at 6:30, on the water by 8. Return late Sunday and drop off before dark.
• Month-to-month. Store between weekends, seasonally (April-October only), or year-round — you decide the term.
• Locally owned. When you call (828) 464-5111, a local team member picks up. No national chain call center.

What we handle

• Bass boats and center-console fishing boats on trailers
• Pontoon boats and tritoons on trailers
• Ski boats, wakeboard boats, and inboard/outboard runabouts
• Personal watercraft (jet skis) on trailers or double-stack trailers
• Small cabin cruisers on trailers (up to typical trailer-able sizes)
• Cargo trailers, utility trailers, and enclosed haulers
• Kayak and canoe trailers

What we don’t offer

• Covered / dry-stack boat storage — our parking is outdoor fenced only
• Wash bays or rinse-off stations — rinse at the marina or home
• Battery charging at the pad — no shore power at boat pads
• On-site boat maintenance or winterization

Common boat storage use cases

• Lake Norman weekenders — store closer to the lake without paying marina slip rates
• Lake Hickory owners — keep the boat out of the driveway between weekend outings
• HOA-restricted homes — subdivision won’t let you park a boat trailer? We’ll take it
• Snowbirds — store the boat through winter for warmer-weather migration
• New boat owners — waiting on a lift install or dock lease

Sizing your boat parking pad

• Personal watercraft (jet ski) on trailer: Compact pad
• Standard runabouts and bass boats (up to 22 ft): Standard-size pads
• Pontoons, larger center consoles, ski boats (22-28 ft): Extended pads — call to confirm
• Larger trailer boats (28 ft+): Always call first to confirm availability

Not sure what pad you need? Call (828) 464-5111 before renting — we’ll walk through your trailer’s length (including tongue), boat overhang, and turning radius to make sure the pad fits before you drive up.

Before you drop it off

• Drain the bilge, drain the live wells
• Fuel up before storage (moisture in tank = ethanol issues)
• Add fuel stabilizer for anything over 60 days of storage
• Pull the drain plug (helps in a rainstorm)
• Charge batteries fully — no shore power at our pads for continuous charging
• Cover with a fitted or fabric cover if the season is off
• Check your boat insurance for storage coverage (most policies handle this)
