Racers Retreat TX is a new host location NE of Houston in New Caney, TX. We are in the city of Roman Forest. We set up the TX property for BW hosting. We have a pad and 30 amp and water available. Only 1 rig at a time and have to cut back to tt trailer rigs up to 20' max. as the last few had difficulty backing onto the pad. Class A, B or C can have up to 30' if unhooked to toad to pull into RV pad. This is import to make sure we can have you safely fit and park in the designated area. This is a back in site for trailers, be able to do this skillfully, which is why no longer than 20, Motor homes up to 30' can pull in, tow vehicles or toads will need to park in the driveway. They can not remain hooked to your RV. Contacting us about your arrival will be critical, with an ETA we can have our vehicles out of the driveway so you can get to the parking area. MUST arrive before dark. Posted speed limit signs are seriously enforced. One section is 25mph and is patrolled most of the time. We are less than 2 miles to a Dollar General and only 7 miles to Walmart and major shopping. The closest dump station is aprox. 8 miles away at Flying J at FM 242. Now that we are in TX, the Florida location is not be available. The people leasing the property are working and have not been BW hosts.

Retired Special Ed School Teacher and Retired Owner/operator of Motorcycle business & Drag Racer Details: We have been married 47 years and have had an assortment of RVs since the mid 70s. Retired and unfortunately health has us needing to sell our Super C and limit travel but can still enjoy the thrill of travel thru the experiences of the BW guests we host and enjoy each others company. As BW hosts we have welcomed over 400 guests and aware of the importance of good host & guest behavior. "Grandpa" has been a professional Drag Racer with NHRA, IHRA, Prostar and SMDRA. He raced motorcycles from the early 70s until 2004, then slowed down the pace and raced a Chevy S10 in the eighth mile sportsman class until Nov 2019. Now we are both retired and hope to enjoy our new home in Texas and create new friendships. Joined Boondockers in hopes that travels will be having us see locations other than race tracks. But found hosting to be the greatest experience when home. Hosted over 400 guests at our Florida location and hope to reach new goals with our Texas site. Home Town: "Grandpa" is a Florida cracker, born and raised in central and south Florida. "Schoolmarm" came to Florida in 1972 from Massachusetts and taught Special Ed in Immokalee, Florida for 30+ years and then 17+ years in Fort Myers. Now we are starting a new retirement chapter in Texas. Favorite Boondocking Locations: Boondockers Welcome beats Walmart and rest areas. First Boondockers experience was with a family just outside Houston, TX. Excellent experience. This is a highly recommened resource. Now we are just a few miles ourselves from there and hosting others. Might say this has come full circle. Having hosted over 400 BW guests on our property we have a great idea and understanding of what to do and how to be the best Boondocker location. Skills or Expertise to Share: "Grandpa" is a motor head and was an excellent mechanic and engine builder and tuner before his retirement. OCD for details on any and all mechanical things. Schoolmarm is great with kids, computers, crafts and can also help tune a motor and clean carbs. Grandpa was a professional Drag Racer. He has won championships on motorcycles and after 40 years of 2 wheel racing he gave up the motorcycle for another 10 years racing an S10 Chevy truck. Linda is the crew chief on and off the track!
