A family of four that travels part-time in our RV. Details: We are a "young" retired military family with 10yr old twins. We launched full-time RVing in 2014 from Las Vegas and have been to nearly all 50 states, including Alaska and Hawaii. We are an outdoor family that enjoys hiking, mountain climbing, fishing and museums. Our children love to meet new people of all ages and so do we. We recently purchased a home 🏡 and travel as much as possible. Of course, first thing we did was put in an RV pad for all of our friends to be able to stop by! Home Town: Originally from Ohio and Florida, spent 10 years in Las Vegas Favorite Boondocking Locations: Southern Nevada, Utah and up-state New York!

What a lovely, quiet lakeside location. Prompt communication and easygoing. Hosts are very welcoming and pet friendly. Sandhill cranes were a welcome treat. Convenient to Silver River and adjacent springs. Great spot!

We really enjoyed our stay at Keith snd Michele’s place. They were so nice and recommended beautiful places to see. The site was private and the communication with them was perfect. If you are a birder, this is the place for you. Sandhill cranes greeted us in the yard each morning. Would love to stay here again. Highly recommend.

NIce and quiet place overlooking a small lake. The hosts were friendly. Interesting conversations. Lot of places to hike, bike, swim or kayak in the area.

Very beautiful, restful place to stop for the night. The owners are so nice and accommodating. The road, 177th, was a bit rugged, but totally solid. Would certainly stay here again.... even for more than one night if we had time.
