Port of Kimberly Ramp?

[Maverickpro201]

How is this ramp and the parking? 

This is a public ramp yes?

I couldn’t find any place to launch last time I was there.  The only one I could find was in the campground and it was locked.

You have to pay to use the port of Kimberling ramp. You have to stop in the office(motel building) and get a daily or yearly permit. The road to the ramp has a gate across it. 
The ramp in the campground is just for the campers.

Yes it’s a public ramp. It gets crowded and sometimes the gate doesn’t work,  but other than that I’ve never had a problem there. Mill Creek is another option in the area if for some reason POK won’t work for you

It’s $5 at the gate. The machine takes cash or credit card

It has been awhile since we did a daily. Back then you had to stop in the office and get a coupon to feed into the machine. 
Now we get the yearly and is a card kind of like a credit card. 
We use the ramp in campground mostly as that is where we stay.

Used to put in at the campground ramp a lot, back before the dark times.

From the above, it sounds like there is more than one ramp.  I have used the $5 credit card at the gate ramp.  Is there another?  at the Campground?

[Hunter53]

Yes there is another gated ramp in the campground across the cove from the marina dock. They have a combination lock on the gate and give out combination to the campers when checking in. 
combination changes every month.
