Single. Retired 15 years. I hope to get in a lot more travel while I still can. Details: Born and grew up in western PA. Attended Penn State University. Moved to North Central Ohio in my early 20's and stayed there till 2011. I purchased a home in Florida in 2011 to enjoy the warm winters. I sure didn't miss the cold northen winter of 2014 - 2015. I have three grown children. Two daughters and a son. More grand children than I care to admit and even a couple of great-grandchildren. Had a couple of Golden Retrievers as my latest family members. They are now passed on. The last one traveled with me through Mexico, all 49 continental states, and all of Canada from the Artic in the Northwesteran Territory across to New Brunswick. We only had the Atlantic Provinces left to complete all of North America. Unfortunately she died two days after I closed on my home here in Florida in 2011. I guess it will not be to much longer till I get a new puppy. Home Town: Fort Denaud, Fl

My husband and I stayed 2 nights here with our 2 dogs. Great place, perfect view of the river and our dogs could run around off leash. Larry was super accommodating and very interesting to talk with! Will definitely stay here again.

This spot is one of my favorites so far this trip. Not only is it picturesque, but the host was very accommodating with water, electric and interesting conversations. We’ll definitely stay again next year.

We always enjoy staying at Riverside; it’s probably our favorite spot in southern Florida to camp. You can’t beat the view, the amenities and the location! The host is communicative and generous. We hope to return. Thank you!

This is a beautiful place to stay. Peaceful along the river, with boats going by. Host met us and helped get us positioned. He is friendly and enjoyable to visit, with lots of stories of his world travels. Great stay, thank you so much!
