You will be parking at the back part of the driveway which is next to a wooded area, but is also next to our home. We have a little over 3 acres, so you are welcome to walk through the trees if you wish. We are very near (less than a mile) to a PA State Game Lands Area so there's plenty of wooded areas and wildlife around. The road in front of the house is paved, but turns to dirt when you get to the game lands. We are also just 2 miles from Lake Erie with a very nice park with a beach area about 3 miles from the house. I do want to mention that there are railroad tracks near by, so you will hear the train occasionally. ***Please note that under amenities I have listed that 30 amp service is available, but if you have your own cord we do have 50 amp available as well. Suggested Local Attractions:Raccoon Park (the park with a beach 3 miles from us), Presque Isle State Park in Erie, Pymatuning State Park in Linesville, Conneaut Historical Railroad Museum in Conneaut OH, North Coast WWII Museum in Conneaut OH, various breweries and wineries, various covered bridges, fishing charters and of course Lake Erie.

We're laid back retirees enjoying the journey Details: We live in Central Florida in the winter and Northwest Pennsylvania in the summer. We take about 3 to 4 weeks traveling each way and try to take a different route every time. We enjoy visiting and being involved in military veteran's events and activities (Dave is USMC Vietnam veteran). We love experiencing new places as long as the weather is warm. LOL! Non smokers...no pets. Home Town: St Cloud FL in the winter (Nov - May) and West Springfield PA in the summer (June - Oct).

By all means, stay here! First off, the area is lovely. It's easy to get to--just a short hop off I-90. Only 2 miles from Lake Erie! Ok...the hosts: I don't even know the words to say. We were so welcomed and felt like we were right at home! Our kids were able to play in the back yard / woods, our doggos even enjoyed hanging out on the back porch as if it were their own! We most definitely will be back and will always refer people here! Thanks so much Sharon and Dave!

Sharon and Dave were extremely fun to chat with. And very knowledgeable of the area. This was my first Boondocking experience with this program. They were very wonderful and I’m looking forward to catching up with them again

Stayed here one night on our way through the area. It as a great location for us because we have relatives in Erie. It was a nice level parking area with full hookups. Would not hesitate to stay here again in the future. Thank you for hosting us!
