    Nice site in a quiet suburb, pleasant for taking walks near the water. Our host Roy was friendly and is dog Ajax even more so, hihi. Roy greeted us and helped us get settled, he provided us with hookups and a dump station and made us feel welcome. His garden is very pretty with many nicely decorated little nooks, and we were able to enjoy it and relax in the middle of the greenery, the flowers, and the song of the birds which are numerous. The property was located near several interesting tourist sites, easy to get to, and very quiet for sleeping. We would definitely go back. A lot of THANKS for having us Roy, it was our first boondocking experience and it was very positive.

    This location is perfect for getting around town or just chilling out and enjoying the garden area. It has full 30amp hookup’s. Host Roy was very nice even after my, normally friendly dachshund went after his puppy Ajax, on the first night. The morning I left we had a chance meeting in the alley way and my pup redeemed himself for his rude behavior. Will definitely try to book here again. Unfortunately the Mrs was on her own holiday and i didnt get the pleasure of meeting her. Maybe next time. Big thanks to the host Roy

    Sure was a pleasure meeting our host Roy and his quite and friendly puppy in training. Sorry to say we did not get to meet his wife as she was out of town. Our stay was in a quiet quint neighborhood on a level space of a grass covered driveway along the side of the house. 30amp. Electric and water available. We hope to visit again and stay a bit longer. A BIG THANK YOU to our host Roy
