We are on a mostly forested acreage, please be careful with fires & cigarettes.

Mike and Marie, easygoing, sociable, love to travel. Currently enjoying having the “world come to us” during our travel hiatus. Details: Retired, gardeners, herbalists, quilters. Mike gardens, chops wood, cooks maple syrup (in season), quilts, messes around with computers Home Town: Home base near Saint Stephen, New Brunswick Easternmost gateway between Atlantic Canada and the eastern Seaboard of the US. Favorite Boondocking Locations: We sometimes boondock at Walmarts for the convenience of replenishing Supplies, but boondocking with hosts is our favourite because it’s about making new friends all across Canada. Skills or Expertise to Share: Gardeners, Herbalists, computer geeks, like to cook. If you are having trouble with a knitting or crocheting project that you took with you on the road, Marie can give pointers (pardon the pun). We dabble in acrylics.

I spent 5 nights here. Mike met me and helped me get backed into his spot. It was a bit tight, but we did it! I suggest if you are my size (33ft class C) back all the way up the driveway. Once there, Mike pointed out the nearby water, electric and even a place to dump. Perfect! Mike and Marie are a delightful couple. Due to some health issues, attention to the landscaping has been rightfully put on the back burner. But what is there is a lovely canvas where Mother Nature has taken over! It is very quiet there. There is a nearby dirt road and field my dog loved walking through. Convenient to St Stephen's that has a good grocery store, and not far from St Andrews by the Sea. I spent a lovely evening with Mike and Marie exchanging stories. Before I left Mike made sure all my connections to my Jeep were correct, even swapping out parts for his that he assured me were safer than what I had. I highly recommend this location and these lovely hosts. Thanks Mike and Marie!!!

We were warmly greeted by Mike and his friendly dog and cat. He graciously offered us the use of 30A power, water and his dump station. Very handy, although it took a bit of manuevering to take advantage of these amenities (we travel in a 4X4 pickup with a slide-in camper so no problem for us - YRMV). The RV spot is right next to the house, and the evidence of partially completed construction and repair projects is all around, but it was a quiet stay with much appreciated benefits.

Spot came with complete hookups, you have to back down the road to get to the spot so trailer should not be longer than 25 feet. Had a great visit with the owners

We had a nice quiet night at Windy Ridge. Were able to plug in to 30 amp elec. and could have had water and anks to the generousity of Mike and Marie. Had a quick visit with them in the before we left. Marie has health issues so they haven’t travelled in the last few yrs but love visitors.

Mike and Marie have a wonderful spot for your rig. They will offer you 30amp power, water, and even a dump spot. We didn’t need any of those services, but we did stay 2 nights. The location is near St Andrews for touring and extremely close to the US border, which was perfect for us. They haven’t been able to RV due to health reasons, but they still love welcoming people to their home.
