UMATILLA – The 2025 Golden Anchor Award has been presented by the Oregon State Marine Board’s Clean Marina Program to the city of Umatilla, its marina and RV park. The board said even in adverse conditions, the marina itself has been a staple in the community for a long time.

“Even with a section of one of its docks currently closed and another dock with an older flotation system, the passionate management staff show their care and are always looking to improve on-site conditions,” the board stated in a news release.

The marina was further praised for enforcing state moorage rules as well as working closely with the Umatilla County Sheriff’s Office Marine Division. The board stated the marina has a fully compliant fuel station with all the required emergency procedures and materials in stock. Its sewage pump-out station was described as “well maintained.”

Earlier this month, the board’s Clean Marina Program Coordinator Glenn Dolphin presented the Golden Anchor Award to Manager Salud Campos at the monthly meeting of the Umatilla City Council.
