What type of boat? This makes a big difference on the river. If you have a 79 ski centurion, you might want to stay up north on the Parker strip. The water gets pretty rough down south. Lately, I've been staying at Castle Rock Shores. They have single wide and double wides for rent right on the water. There is a small little marina where you dock your boat, so your not dropping in right into the rivers current. Lots of good peeps up there, great views of the mountain and your still close to all the Parker strip bars. Now for the bad...the water from the spiget is terrible and not drinkable and sometimes stinks.
