Learning about Boondocking, excited to be hosts! Details: We are a married couple, just retired and interested in RVing and travel. We imagine that hosting boondockers would be a great way to learn more. Home Town: Chester, CT Skills or Expertise to Share: While we do not have any specialized hookups, we are willing to share our water through a garden hose and use of electricity through the use of a typical household extension cord.

Sarah and I stayed the weekend in Ponsetwood's Host Location in our 30' class C. We lucked out with amazing weather, which dipped into the mid-50s at night - in combination with open windows and the calls of the forest, we had the COZIEST sleep both nights. The hosts were incredibly kind and offered great ideas on how to spend our time in Chester over the weekend. We explored Chester on our ebikes (you HAVE to go into town, great atmosphere & nice people), then hopped on the ferry to cross the river and continued our exploring around Gilette Castle. The fare for 2 people on bikes was $4, how could we not?? Stunning views & fun hikes over there. Sunday we hit Chester once more for their farmers market & loaded up on local organic produce. There was live music playing outside our favorite store and every doggo in the town had to have been there. Incredible stay, to be practically IN the state forest on the host's beautiful property and still close enough to explore on bikes, we couldnt have asked for a better weekend. We will be back! :)
