Highport Marina & Resort

We love Highport. Our boat is actually at a different marina, but we regularly come to Highport for the food and fuel dock store. The recent flooding has kept us away which has been a big disappointment to our summer. We love how Highport is still trying to accommodate their customers through all the trials this season. As soon as the fuel dock reopens, we will be coming to shop. In addition to getting gas and a much needed pump out, we will also be shopping for apparel and home accessories. If you haven’t been inside the fuel dock, I highly recommend it.

We are new to boating, and while this season has not been what we were expecting (rain, rain everywhere!), we have been super impressed with Di and the rest of the crew at Highport in their heroic efforts to keep catastrophe at bay as best as possible. Emergency services, communication, calm demeanor, and simple reassurance has all been plentiful! Haven’t seen our boat in months but we trust the staff that all is OK, having witnessed their incredible efforts in recent months.

I put my boat in at Highpoint last fall and the reason i love Highport is the staff and how they are always cheerful and helpful even through this devastating rainy season this spring.

Great food and atmosphere. What really makes this place is Karla and her great service. Your enjoyment will be enhanced if she is there to take care of you. Karla makes Highport.

Great food and drink, great atmosphere and Karla is the greatest waitress. She needs a big raise.

After reading Dominique’s review, i felt like I had to post my own. We keep our boat there as well, and I don’t know why she feels it’s the Highport workers that trashed her boat and stole equipment. We have met all the workers there, and have been treated with only respect and courtesy. I have a suspicion that some of the weekend partiers that are guests of members were the culprits, as we see a lot of teens and college aged kids there unaccompanied by adults all the time. Their mechanics have been on our boat several times during the week when we weren’t there, and nothing of ours has ever been touched. Many people have their large screen tv’s and speakers mounted in their slips, and nothing has been stolen except liquor and beer when someone forgets to lock up their fridge. Crime happens everywhere, but it’s unfair to blame the employees when something happens without having evidence of their guilt.

I used to love highport, however after keeping our 38′ carver santego there our flat screen tv in the cabin and our outside speakers at the helm were stolen and were almost positive it was the workers at highport. We have met just about everyone else in our dock and they have more respect and not to mention there own money to steal. The inside of the boat was also trashed, half entry liquor bottles, wine bottles and beer bottles were scattered everywhere along with every item that was put away in drawers or cabinets. And to top it all off they left a nice little (or rather big) number two in the toilet!!! DO NOT USE HIGHPORT TO STORE YOUR BOAT!!! They have absolutely no respect for their customers. I would recommend grandpappy point!

Cool place to hang out after boating, nice views, thats it. Food is horrible, salty, trashy, you get better food at a food truck. Bartenders are good, waitresses suck big time, if you don’t sit at the bar you will be waiting for a long time to get served. Very bad management.

Great view. If you want to have a drink or meal on the lake this is the place.

We camped out in a Motorhome there at the rv campground in July 2011.
The campground is all gravel as it appears to have been previously used as a parking area for the boat trailers. There are full hook ups and 50amp electrical service. Beware, the place is over populated with ants. We woke up the first morning with ants crawling all over us and all over the outside of our motorhome, and I mean All Over, inside and outside. We drove to the office and told the woman at the desk and she sort of laughed and said we have ants here too. They never treated the campground while we were there. We went and spent $ 60.00 to treat the outside and inside of our motorhome to try and get rid of them.
There is no security there. The camground is away from the marina with no one around. There were home made signs, written with a permanent marker posted at the entrance which said lock your vehicles, lock your trailers, and load your guns !! The other sign said Attention Theif, you have been photographed and the Grayson County Sheriff is after you. There were no cameras around so I assume this was a warning to scare theifs. After we looked around, we saw a travel trailer which appeared to have the living room window busted out. There were only 4 campsites occupied there for the weekend. I guess we know why now. WE WILL NEVER GO BACK. WE FEARED FOR OUR LIVES !

Long standing marina of choice on Lake Texoma. Highport offers yacht sales, Island Bar & Grill, Tanglewood Resort, and many other amenities!

So far, we think that this is the most popular launch spot on the lake. We haven’t covered the whole lake yet but, so far, that is the way it looks. It cost $ 5 cash to launch here. They have year round passes but they aren’t economical for the summer boater. The ramp is very, very good and can handle up to four launches at a time though most often people are more comfortable with three at a time. Launching here is an art form. Except for the occasional idiot or jerk, people launch and trailer here with amazing speed and efficiency. I have only once seen one guy (with a boat that cost more than my house) take up a spot for 45 minutes because it wouldn’t start. So it does happen. But this is not a place to practice launching. Know what you are doing and «get er done».
This place is always hopping. Usually there is plenty of trailer parking but sometimes, like holidays, you may end up parking your trailer on the grass. If you are in a car, please do not take up a trailer space with your subcompact. Arghhh! That is soooo frustrating.
The only down side to launching at Highport is there is an extremely long no-​wake zone getting out of the marina and the gas dock bites compared to Buncombe’s. Still, there’s lots of neat things to see as you make it through the no-​wake zone. People have «done up» their slips with bars and kitchens and artwork. I am in awe of the huge boats moored here.
As for gassing up, it is a self serve pump and you have to pay first and then fight other boaters for the hose. Well, you have to sit and stew when some other boater jumps in front of you even though it was obvious that you were next up. Also, we like to go out on a wave runner and Highport only has a platform for jet skis with two spaces and, on a busy weekend, will take up the spaces with rental jet skis. I highly recommend launching here and popping over to Buncombe marina to gas up.

Keep in mind I’ve never had a slip at Highport, but I frequent Highport every time I’m at Texoma.
This is THE place to be on Texoma if you’re looking for restaurants and nightlife.
Highport has two restuarant/​clubs. During the summer there is almost always some type of live outdoor music as well.
And its not uncommon to find a few dock parties going on as well.
The slip pricing is a little higher than other marinas on the lake, but by the same token most marinas don’t have as much going on.
Highport is also a short boat ride from The Islands, a popular party spot.
