About
Depending on the size of your rig and my schedule, I may be able to accommodate last minute requests. The mailing/map address is Somerville, but this is just outside the city limits of Snook. I have a place for one RV and a tow vehicle if needed. This is on the farm about halfway between Texas A&M (Bryan/College Station) and Lake Somerville. It's nothing fancy, but it's a place to stay. It's relaxing and there are usually a lot of songbirds in the yard. Frogs and crickets will serenade you at night and maybe even an owl or coyote. Enjoy the sunrise or venture over to the shop driveway for nice sunsets. I will be at work most weekdays unless I can work from home, but will be available by phone if needed. On weekends I may be home or out camping on my own adventures. We will coordinate arrival/departure times. πŸ•πŸˆπŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§β€πŸ‘¦The site is close to a Farm-to-Market road and we do get quite a bit of traffic in the morning/afternoon on weekdays. It's okay for pets to be off leash, but keep them and children under constant supervision. Sometimes, there are coyotes in the area at night, so I don't advise letting pets out at night to roam free, especially small ones. Please pick up after pets in the yard area. There is a security light next to the driveway. There is a cedar tree immediately next to the parking area, so keep in mind if you have bad allergies to them. There is a fire ring with a flip-over grate. I have some wood, but you may want to bring your own. Grilling is allowed. There is a small table outside as well as a bench and chairs. There are Munzees here and a geocache nearby. πŸ“¦ If you would like to have packages delivered here, that's ok too.

HOST
Native Texan who is a Weekend RVer for now. Gotta make that paycheck... Details: I'm a solo camper, but I like to camp in groups for fun and safety. I take the travel trailer out as much as possible, but I still have to come back for my full-time job, so I'm usually limited to central Texas. I LOVE the Hill Country! I'm an Administrative Assistant and Microsoft Certified Trainer (Office products). I love camping and dancing and combine the two as often as possible. I enjoy the scavenger hunt game called Munzee and I do an occasional geocache. When I'm not camping, I enjoy working and hanging out in my yard and I prefer to use Native Texas plants. I love watching the birds and other critters in my yard, especially the hummingbirds. I'm an Aggie, Class of '92. I have a grown son. I beat Pancreatic Cancer in 2023! Home Town: Snook, TX Favorite Boondocking Locations: Any place that has a 30 amp (or at least 20 amp) hookup. Preferably not a tight squeeze. Mostly level spots. A little shade is nice. Skills or Expertise to Share: I'm a Microsoft Certified Trainer. I can help with OneNote, spreadsheets, Word, etc. I'm pretty familiar with Google products as well. But don't ask me what to do if you have a blue screen. :)

House Rules
Keep pets and children under constant supervision outside. I am close to the road. Pick up after pets inside the yard area. No smoking near the house or shed - Do not leave butts on the ground or in the fire ring! Household garbage may be thrown in dumpster, but must be bagged. No live coals! No loud music Completely douse all fires before leaving or heading in the for the night (May have to ask if we're in a burn ban) Wifi is not the greatest, but if you need it, you can try it
Parking & Arrival
Access Road Conditions: In dry weather, you can pull into the driveway and into the pasture to back up in front of my carport. You may have to back in off the main road if we have had recent rains, but the driveway is straight and about 150' long. If you are in a motorhome and towing a vehicle, contact me and we can discuss a better option for disconnecting the tow vehicle. Tow Vehicle Parking Details: Parking spot next to my vehicle or in front of the rig if it's short (blue lines on the photo). Parking is on road base. Just do not block my vehicle. In dry weather, there is possibility of second parking spot for smaller/lighter rig in the pasture - 15 amp hookup only.
