Lodging Question - Red River

[Bobs21X]

Any good boater friendly places to stay near Ft. Buhlow Recreation area?
I know it's close to Alexandria, but I am not familiar with the area.
Will be there in Oct. I assume this is Pool 3??? I have only fished 4 & 5......

Thanks

Thats in pool 2, best bet would be to stay in Alexandria.

Hey Bobby, 1st , what pools do you plan on fishing? Alexandria is in pool 2. There are no boat "friendly" places. They are your basic hotels. That's the bad thing. There is a newly built hotel down the road from the Buhlow landing in Pineville. It's a straight shot from there. Living here i would stay in P'ville before Alexandria. Now in pool 3 at colfax, there is a campground for RV's and further up at St. Maruice there is a marina that rents out trailers. Then again not sure where you plan on fishing and such. Shoot me an IM and i'll send my cell # if you need any help or info.

Like Jeremy said, at St. Maurice in Pool 3 there are trailers to rent. We stayed at one of them during the RROC. $75/night and they are nice and clean. Friendly people running it-went out of their way to make our stay comfortable. Unless something has changed, I would recommend them.

One other thing, in poll 2 just south of Alexandria there are some cabins to rent. They are fairly new but i don't have info on them. I guess it's a matter of where you plan on fishing and staying.

Ed, i seen that the marina was for sale.

Hey Jeremy, is there much room to park in that hotel in Pineville and how for from the landing in Pool 2?

[fishin couillon]

Here is the website on the oxbow cabins. http://www.oxbowcabins.com/

Yes, this is a new hotel with plenty of parking but the only thing is that the rooms are on the inside of the building, know what i mean......it's about a 4 miles from the landing but all highway. I though it was shorter but just did it on google earth.

Thanks for the info.

I always stay at the Best Western in Alexandria (Pool #2) for tournaments. It's close to the landing and has outside rooms. I haven't experienced any problems. You need to have a couple of cones to prevent someone from parking in the spots in front of your room.

Thanks for th input...........

Host hotel for my event is Best Western, it's booked.
Oxbow cabins look great also

Jeremy, there was a realty sign there saying it was for sale when we were there but they talked like they would be there a while. In other words I think it will be open until it sells. At least I hope it is. We really enjoyed our stay there.

I happened to see it in the real estate book that the wife picked up. Stopped at the store once, really nice and good hamburgers. Would be a nice place to hold big tourneys.
