Barrys Compound

Awesome first BW experience!

Barry is a wonderful host! He was waiting for us when we arrived and helped us get situated. He offered us electricity, water and wifi. We had a great time chatting and swapping military stories. The compound is very peaceful and quiet. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely go back!

Very nice peaceful sleepover

Beautiful compound with easy hookups. Just stayed one night.
Very friendly accommodating host.
Would highly recommend and would definitely stay again, but longer

The best

Berryyour the best of the best

Very Accommodating

Barry was very accommodating for our large rig. So very appreciative! The area is very pretty and very quiet. Thank u!

Pleasant stay

We enjoyed a quiet night at barrys compound. We ended up being delayed a day and Barry was very understanding and responded quickly to each message. He allowed us to come a day late and greeted us outside. We met another boondocking couple while there.
We left early the next morning so we didn't get to chat much.
Would stay here again.
Thank you, Barry, for your hospitality.

barryd is a superb host and raconteur

We stayed two days at Barry's Compound on our way to Punta Gorda. Barryd will tell you tales of his past. He is also ready to help with any RV problem you might have. We both believe in Macgyver fixes for the inevitable problem that RVers face. You can swap tales of how you have bested the RV problems that have been thrown your way. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Barryd.

Blessed Barry

Barry has the kindest soul! What a pleasure to meet him and his beautiful wife and their sweet dog Rusty. I couldn’t have felt more welcome! Ty for hosting us.

Fun and casual place

A great overnight stay for me and my wife. barryd's place is easy to get to and park in, and we spent several hours chatting around the campfire with a couple other boondockers that evening. barryd is a witty and friendly host. We'd definitely come visit again!

Great place

Second time here and was just as wonderful as last, great time with new people around the campfire!! Barry is a wonderful host!!

Florida Hospitality at it's best!

Terrific host, extremely helpful, friendly & informative. Large area to stay, close to the interstate yet you feel like you're 'away from it all'. Barryd goes out of his way to accommodate fellow travelers & makes you feel at home. We really enjoyed our stay & look forward to returning in Feb.

Very friendly

Barry was very friendly and kind. I met a lot of nice people rving there and we had a lot of fun. Good conversation,pie,bon Fire. Very peaceful there. He has a very kind heart. I’m very thankful I got to stop there.

Simply Inviting

Our host was most accommodating, great to talk to and helpful in anyway he could be. When we passed through Florida again he will be one of our stops.

Excellent host and place to stay!

Excellent host and place to stay!

True host going out of his way.

Thank you Barry for an exceptional stay. Your going above and beyond for welcoming accommodations for not only me but others searching for a place to stay.. Blessing to you and your wife..

A Great Gathering

We had a great time, because of the vast area and numerous spots, we were amongst other boondockers, which made the experience that more special. The opportunity to sit by the fire and talk, exchange stories, and experiences with each other was priceless. A wealth of information to help along our journey. Thanks to Barry and Millie for a great experience, some great conversations and sharing a meal with us.

excellent as usual

another great stay at barry's, only wish i could have stayed longer

Great time with Barry

Nice overnight at Barry's compound with new friends at the campfire.

Great place

Wonderful place to stay, great company. Barry the host was amazing!!

Florida Hospitality

Barry’s has a great property for several RVs it was level and worked well for us. His WiFi worked better than most which is important when trying to keep up with family at home during extended travel. Most importantly, he warmly welcomed us and genuinely seems to enjoy his guests.

Great stop

Great host, and spot, very quiet. Barry extremely accommodating we will stay again if we get this direction again.

Second stay here.

Very friendly, nice place. We came back here for the second time without realizing it till we saw the house. Would recommend this to anyone.

BarryD stay was very enjoyable!

We had to cut our stay to just one night, due to scheduling changes. However, it was great meeting and chatting with the host. Very nice location, level and able to handle several big rigs at one time. We loved the huge pecan trees and magnolias. The host will make you feel right at home. We recommend!

Helpful

Barry helped me to understand RVs much more than I did when I pulled in. Thank you Barry for all your help. See you at the Rally.

Nice stay

Very nice gentleman. Spent a little time talking with him.

Would definitely stay again.

Wonderful hospitality!

Barry's place is an easy find and level! Wonderful, quiet and friendly!

Lovin Life Near Live Oak!

We arrived mid afternoon and our host at Barry’s Compound was there to greet us and help us get parked. We enjoyed some old military stories and conversation, and he shared helpful info with us on some of the local places to go and some good local eateries. Very knowledgeable about Motorhomes. Quiet, peaceful location with lots of shade and no problem maneuvering our rig - nice and flat area with room for several rigs. As always - its tough to pull up our doormat and move on, but our next destination awaits us. So with that said - we highly recommend Boondocking here if you’re in the area. Very convenient to interstate access. We know we’ll be passing through this area again as we make frequent trips to Florida. Now we know we have a place to stay! THANKS AGAIN!!!
A&J

Very good

Barry's campound is wonderful place and he's a great guy. Looking forward to our next visit.
Jim & Sandy

Great place!

I needed a place to stay the night and Barry's Compound was again a wonderful stop along my path of travels. Thank you for welcoming me back. It was great seeing you, your wife, and Rusty.
I highly recommend this host for Boondockers.

Fantastic Host

A fantastic host, Just like described. Barry gave us power, water and a level area for our RV. He made us feel welcome at his place. The place is an easy in and out in and we would highly recommend it to anyone.

Excellent!

Barry is the best!

Perfect pit stop!

My husband and I needed a quick getaway to escape the hurricane and this spot was perfect for what we needed. Thank you!

A+ Great location.

Great location, nice hook ups, and super fast internet!

Always a great stay

We have stayed at Barry's Compound on several occasions. It is a prime location. The site are level and have easy access for any size rig. it is far enough away from the hustle of the highway but close enough to places to eat and shop. This spot is marked as a favorite.

Awesome stay!

Hey sorry so long and I'm just now posting. Thanks for everything! Your place is great, quiet, and many thanks for loaning me the 50/30 amp adapter! I hope to stay there again sometime! Until next time....

Love this place!

Barry has been amazing! The location is beautiful and we will definitely come thru here again. Can't thank youI enough Barry!

Amazing people! Gorgeous location!

This place is so beautiful and Barry is so kind and helpful that I threatened to never leave! Barry even lets our dogs go in his house and visit! The dogs are so happy here! Me and Lamont are so happy here! I can't believe we get to stay here for free! Thank you Barry for your amazing hospitality!

Another great stay

Stopped again at Barry’s after visiting the panhandle of FL. We enjoyed a dinner out at Bob Evans and meeting another RV couple. Shared more stories and RVing tips. Barry is generous with his time and knowledge, mixed with humor. Looking forward to many more visits with them along our travels.

Excellent stay

This was our third time staying at Barry’s compound. He is a very kind and gracious host. We enjoy the peaceful setting and great company! Thanks!

If we could rate AWESOME we definitely would!

The physical site is exactly as described by others, right down to the Boondockers Welcome sign by the mailboxes. The real gem of the site is Barry. He is a wealth of helpful information. He helped Gene get the Satellite TV connected, worth his weight in gold by that alone. Loved sharing stories and jokes. Feels like we have always known each other. Thanks a million Barry.

A very helpful person

Barry is a very thoughtful and helpful person. He has lots of experiences to share. Thanks again Barry. Tom and Joyce

Home away from Home

WE have stayed at BarryD's location several times. It is always a pleasure to talk with the host. The location is easy to get to, sites are level and our dogs love the free range. This is our "go to" location when passing through the area.

Perfect Host!

We came in just about dusk and Barry helped us back in to place. He also helped me troubleshoot a water pump problem.

He has a delightful setup and a big "Boondockers Welcome" sign by his mailbox, making the place very easy to find.

He is a gentleman and a perfect host.

I wish more folks would follow his example - it would be a better world.

Thanks, Barry, for a lovely stay!

Short Stay At Barryd's- 28 May 2019

Barryd's property and friendly personality was greatly appreciated. Arriving about 4:30 on 28 May 2019, he quickly introduced himself along with his wife and his sweet dog . After helping to get our RV situated on a perfect level and shaded site he answered all my questions and volunteered to give us a tour of his beautiful Class A coach. Our conversations soon found we have some similar life experiences and it was a joy to share them in our conversations. The hookup to his electricity was highly welcomed as A/C was certainly needed in the near 100 degree heat. Barry's location was well marked and easy to find and convenient to I-75 and Lake City, FL. We'll definitely look forward a return visit in our future travels.

Found a new friend

Thanks Barry for a quiet and peaceful night. We appreciate your hospitality. Thanks for fixing our generator in 30 seconds or less. We shall return. A great site and easy to get to from I10. Easy to move around, spacious sites.

Friendly Florida

We had a very comfortable stay. Thank you Barry for your generous hospitality! We will hope to stay here again when passing through.

Such a welcoming host

We were soooo very welcomed at our 1st ever stay over with Boondockerswelcome and we couldn’t have been more pleased. With the ample parking, close hookups and fast dependable wifi. Gorgeous mature trees with hanging moss and a sweet friendly dog too! Barryd was so generous of his time and knowledge. Put this one on your map for sure!!!!

Another fantastic stay

This was our second stay with Barry! We enjoyed talking with both him and his wife, sharing our travel stories, and he helped us With some good advice on a plumbing issue! Thanks again! Excellent hosts!!

Excellent host

Barry and Milly made me feel so welcome and what a lovely area of Florida incredible big oak trees in a beautiful spot. Had a couple great conversations and some very good sound advice. Thank you so much Barry.

Good to see Barry again!

A very good guy, that Barry :)
Our stay was cut short by motor home repairs but it’s a peaceful spot owned by a really nice guy. Look forward to next time!

What a great place. What a great guy!

Barry has gone out of his way to make boondockers welcome and well outfitted with electricity and water while visiting. I am only sorry that his rig will not fit in our driveway so we could return the favor. He is a sweet gentleman and he and his wife and blind dog Rusty made us very welcome.

Great host

Excellent quiet secluded spot with 50 amp and water hook up. Barry is a very gracious host and took the time to share with us his RV experiences. Would highly recommend this location, and will definitely be back next time we are in the area! Thank you for hosting!

An oasis!

What a lovely visit we had at Barry's!. So much more pleasant than a Wal-Mart. The view was lovely, it was quiet, we enjoyed a visit over beer... And Barry provided electricity... Couldn't have been a better evening. Thank you, Barry!

Short and Sweet

We stopped by for one night. Barry was incredibly kinda and welcoming. We hope to stay again, but for longer next time! We would enjoy talking to Barry again!

Great intro to BW

This was my first Boondockers Welcome stay and it was great. Barry couldn’t have been more hospitable. I arrived at 9:30pm and he greeted me and provided a quiet spot with electric and water for the night. Easy in and out, very close to the Interstate, and very nice couple. I will stay again. Hope all BW locations are as nice. Thanks, Barry and Millie.

Another great stay

This is our third time staying at barryd's. The site is level and shaded. It is also a good place for our dogs to run. The location is also close to town and several places to eat. Barryd is a great host!

One of our favorite spots.

Thanks.

Awesome first BW experience

We enjoyed our stay. It was a great first boondockers welcome experience.

Great visit !

We really enjoyed our stay with Barry.
The birds singing in the morning and evening were a joy to hear also.
Very quiet place to stay.

Second visit, great site..

This was our second visit and is a great location. The site is level and shaded. There are several great state parks a short drive away as well as a quaint downtown and the Town of Live Oak. Barryd is always a great host.

Gracious Host

Very helpful as we stayed there. Excellent hookups available. Peaceful place and beautiful.

Fabulous

Barry was extremely welcoming and so very helpful. His wife was very sweet. They had me over for pizza and I enjoyed the time I was able to spend with them. I would definitely return if I am in the area again.

Kind & generous couple!

Perfect accommodation for a one nite stay. Barry was extremely helpful & knowledgeable. Location is easy to get to & area is quiet & beautiful.

Gracious & knowledgeable hist

We enjoyed our short visit at Barry’s Compound. Setting is beautiful & convenient. Barry shared valuable travel info which we truly appreciate! Thank you!

Very nice stay

We had an excellent stay. Very quiet, very pretty. Plenty of room to park and relax. We will definitely consider staying here again as we pass in and out of Florida.

Best boondocking experience!

A very warm welcome from our host! We enjoyed our night here and were surprised and overjoyed to find out there were electrical and water hookups!

Must stay

This turned out to be a hidden treasure for us. Barry is very accommadating. We enjoyed our conversions with him very much, he is an interesting person. The quaint little town was fun to explore. We found a beautiful cypress swamp and a twelve ft. Yucca about to bloom. We hope to return again.

A Boondockers mini-gathering at Barry's Compound

In addition to meeting 3 great BdW members, preparing dinner for our host & hostess and 2 other guests, having several stimulating conversations over coffee or wine, I enjoyed a (good old) boy's night out while Phyllis visited with Millie.
A great stay with friendly hosts.
Thank you.

Nice spot to contemplate.

Looking forward to a future visit. Keep on smiling!

Great Host, Great Spot

Always great to see Barry and get a great night sleep in his quite location.

Great Hosts!

Barry & Millie are very gracious hosts & go out of their to make your stay comfortable.
Also, I found their location to be very convenient.
Chuck

All are welcomed at Barry's place!

We are very thankful for Barry for letting us stay here. Extremely friendly and welcoming. Shared an excellent meal with them along with another guest on our second night. Hope to be able stop by again.

Good GOOD Vibes:-)

This is the place of good energy and we mean GOOD GOOD energy! Because Barry loves people and you just enjoy the stay! What a person! Would definitely come back again! Highly recommended!

Thank you!

Barry kindly allowed us to stay when he was not on-site. We had great communication beforehand and the spot was flat, quiet, shady, hook ups available and 20 mins to nearby Lake City. Only down side is that we didn’t get to meet the man himself! Would recommend.

TERRIFIC LOCATION & HOSTS!

I stayed at Barry & Millies beautiful location for 2 days prior to the nearby RVillage 2.0 Rally at the end of March '19. Barry & Millie are a very nice couple & they go far beyond what is expected to be great Hosts. Chuck, NYTEX.
Thank you Barry & Millie!

super host

Great place for our overnight needs! Sorry to be leaving Florida but the time has come to head back home. Barry is a gracious host. Hope we get to come back again....

Compound your RV experience!

Barry loves people & RVers. He will make your visit easy & will do what he can to make you comfortable. He has been RVng many years, has lots of stories to share. He has room for more than one rig, so you may meet other RVers also. Lots of great state parks in the area for recreation including Suwannee River SP & Stephen Foster SP. Plus, the Spirits of Suwannee Music Park with many music events throughout the year.
Come say hello to Barry soon.

Wonderful location and outstanding host!!

I could not have ask for better! Barry and his lovely wife Millie are super host. I needed a place to hang until RVillage rally started, just 30 minutes away, and Barry made sure I had everything I needed. I really enjoyed talking with him and sharing stories. I hope to be back one day, and look forward to a chuckle from one of Barry’s joking remarks.

Sharon Netzley

Barry was the perfect host. We spent several hours talking with Barry in his lovely motorcoach....it was our very first boondocker experience....and it was so nice thanks to Barry. Sorry we did not get the chance to meet his wife....but we will return. God bless you Barry.

Wonderful overnight stay; host was very friendly & accommodating

What a lovely piece of property! My younger dog thoroughly enjoyed exploring the front yard as soon as we arrived. I had no problem getting my rig level when I backed in, and I was delighted to find that Barry had installed power poles for his BW guests. How nice is that?!
Barry is a delightful gentleman who wants his guests to be comfortable, and I certainly was that. Thank you so much, Barry!

Another Fabulous boondocker Host

Barry and Millie are great hosts. SHared lots of stories, great conversations and had a great meal with them. Very friendly, felt like long lost friends. Did not want to leave, Location is close to alot of State parks with great kayaking and hiking. ALso only 10 miles to lake city for all your needs. Property is beautiful with lots of space. Thank you for yur hospitality and sharing your beautiful property with us. Until we meet again. Your friends Virginia and Bob

Wonderful host!

Great host. Had some great conversations with host and had a great level space with electric and water. Thank you for the great hospitality! Would definitely stay again if we pass thru thus area.

Wonderful place and host

Don't miss out on staying here if you find yourself in the area. Barry is a fantastic host and so helpful. The property is easy accessible and the peace and quiet keeps you from ever wanting to leave. I loved it here and you will too. Thank you

Awesome Host!

Barry is a great host. He had even moved his coach before we arrived so we could have a space with hookups. It's a really quiet spot to stop, and we enjoyed talking with Barry and his wife and other boondockers this morning before we headed out. Definitly plan to stay longer than 1 night to really get to enjoy the spot and have good company! thanks Barry!

Southern hospitality with NY charm at it's finest

Amazing host. Spent his time with everyone making sure they had what they needed and wanted. He shared Wi-Fi service water and electricity from his own home but also has designated 50 amp outlets and water hookups

Pleasant Visit

We appreciate the hospitality at Barry's Compound. A gem.

wow

im still here. the host graciously allowed me stay the full 5 days. to say this is a great place is an understatement. what wonderful and friendly people. barry should be the poster child for boondockers welcome

Absolutely Lovely Couple!

Our stay at Barry's Compound couldn't have been more perfect! It was quiet, and I had wifi access so I could work while Mark had some great visits with our hosts. We extended our stay for a couple of days so I could finish some things, then left feeling like we had made some new friends.

I hope we can stay again!

Very nice stay

Very nice people very welcoming we only stay one night. But had no problems. Very nice couple.

Fantastic peaceful stay!

For our first time using Boondockers Welcome it was absolutely fantastic. Our host, was very accommodating. The site was very nicely set up for any RV. The Spanish Moss on the huge oak trees in the area was very majestic. The set-up, location and our host made us feel very relaxed. We would definitely recommend this host to anyone needing a place to rest. Many thanks to our host...a very nice person.

GREAT hosts!!

This was our first boondocking experience. Berry and his wife were such gracious hosts!! Their compound was really easy to find and the roads were good. The parking area is in front of the house and was easy to back into, we had plenty of room to leave our truck hitched to our 40' fifth wheel. Barry has water and electric which he so kindly offered. We went for an evening walk which was very nice too. Very little (local) traffic on the road. If you are in the area, and they are home, this is a wonderful place to stay -- we will definitely be back.

Super nice host!

We had a great stay with our host. He was very welcoming and kind to our kids. He had a nice big property, and we got to meet another boondocking family staying as well. We even had water/electric hookups! He had a great sense of humor and we really enjoyed our conversations.

Wet but Welcoming

I can't blame our host for the wet weather, but they helped us out in a pinch. The place was easy to find and access was also easy. We had good conversations and he helped us locate a RV part that we were in search for. The kids were also very welcomed and had plenty of yard to roam around in and play.

WONDERFUL hospitality!

After arriving at Barry’s home during a heavy rainstorm, he invited me inside until the rain subsided. Then he guided me into a perfectly level grassy area near the rigs of two families of Boondockers Welcome guests. There I had a restful sleep of ten hours!
Barry is a very kind, thoughtful host whom I highly recommend to other guests. Although my stay was short, I am very thankful to him for providing a quiet, safe place to park my little rig overnight. I definitely hope to return for a longer stay.

Great Host! Quiet, peaceful night.

It was great to meet and talk with Barry. I could only stay for the night but really enjoyed the chat and the location.

Great intro to boondocking

This was our introduction to boondocking. What a great experience! Barry was so helpful and gave us numerous tips and advice. We so enjoyed his stories and the freedom to move around the property. Will definitely stay here again if we're in the area.

Great stopover

We needed a place to stay for a few days between Jacksonville and Tallahassee. Barry’s place was perfect. Google maps got us there just fine, it was easy to pull in and park our large fifth wheel. Barry Is very nice and super interesting.
The town itself is a little remote but LakeCity is only 20 minutes away.
We will return again next year if Barry Will have us.

Rusty is a great co host.

Thanks for working with us. We had a great time would stop back any time were in the area. (Nice folks)

Super Friendly host and great spot

This is a great quiet place that is easy to get to and a new gas station just a few miles away. We had plenty of space for our rig and for our 3 year old to play. The host was very hospitable. Would definitely stay again when in the area.

Great spot, easy access

We had a quick overnight stay that Barry made very easy and enjoyable. His land is easy to access with a big rig and close to the highway. We enjoyed getting some RVing wisdom from him and our dogs loved meeting his. This spot is a true gem in FL!

Fantastic, great host!!

Great hosts, very accommodating. We couldn’t ask for more. He provided water and electric hookup. Excellent place to park our RV. Plenty of shade, quiet area and plenty of room. If you need down time, perfect spot. Enjoyed visiting with him. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay with them again if/when in the area.

Enjoyed stay

Our second stay. Great as usual.

Awsome

Welcomed immediately. Great communication. Felt comfortable quickly. Coming back in a week. Highly recommend

Great first BW experience

This was our first BW stay and we couldn’t have been more pleased. Barry was a very welcoming host and was so kind to offer electric and water hookups. We stayed two nights. Our dog loved having a large area to run and play. Easy access to the property. Our massive toy hauler fit perfectly. Thanks again!

Super nice people and spot

Barry and Milli were so kind and welcoming. We absolutely enjoyed our time there. Loved hearing the story’s. It a bit off the beaten path, but good roads and easy to get too. We hope to return something. Would definitely recommend this BW spot.

Very good

Barry & wife are very hospitable.
You will feel welcome here.

Wonderful host, sweet place

Wonderful hosts, quiet location near 75 and 10. We wish we could have stayed longer, but the road beckons! We would definitely stay again!

Great experience!

Very accommodating! This was our first time using Boondockers Welcome and we were very pleased with the ease of it! Barry was great to work with and the availability of hook ups was incredibly generous of him. Thank you for an awesome first experience!

Great Couple

Stayed here twice and can say again that these folks are great hosts!

quiet place in the country- great host

stayed a couple of nights here. Barry is friendly and most helpful. We really appreciated his 50 amp service with the cold nights we had. Hope to see him again!

Barry's a good guy

Nice big space, very quiet. Really enjoyed chatting with Barry- would have liked to talk more but we just stayed a night and both had things going on. We will definitely come back here next time we pass through

Very comfortable and enjoyable stay!

Host was very nice and accommodating. Beautiful property. Was gracious enough to give us electricity and water! Really enjoyed our stay!
Thanks Again!

Great stay with great host

Thanks Again Barry

1st Boondocking experience. Excellent!

What a gracious host! Barry is a super nice guy. Quiet and spacious. Great experience! Will stay again when in the area.

Great location and hosts

This is a great location. Good access and a great site. The host was awesome and we had great conversations. The area is very quite and well maintained.

Wonderfully kind friendly folks

Millie and Barry are terrific hosts. Barry was really helpful with hooking up my rig and eager to make me feel welcome on their beautiful property. Very aware of my presence while allowing me freedom to play with my photography and painting. I highly recommend them to all boondockers.

Outstanding host

The property is convenient, easily accessible and peaceful. Barry graciously offered power, wi fi and water and helped me into the site even though it was absolutely pouring rain. He could not have been more accommodating. Thanks again Barry!

Wonderful Gem

Barry has the perfect hideaway for hosting. Close to the major highways and close enough to town (Lake City). We thoroughly enjoyed our stay - especially the pups! With lots of room to run and play, the dogs were in heaven. We enjoyed the great conversation and wealth of knowledge that Barry had to offer. 5 stars! :)

Great host and space

Barry was great to chat with and share stories. Lots of room to park, and multiple areas on the property had water/electric. We are in a rush to head West for the winter; if we had more time, it would be great to stay and hang out.

Property is about 5 miles off highway 10, easy access in and out of the property. About 1.5 miles down the road is a small fuel station and dollar general. Two bars of signal on both At&t and Verizon unboosted,

Great Host

Barry is a pleasure to spend time with!

Great stay!

Thanks for hosting us! Great location with easy access. Big rig friendly. We will be back!

Nice, friendly host, quiet spot.

We enjoyed our time at this spot and the time spent talking with the host.

We plan to return when back in the area.

Great experience!

Our host was welcoming and helpful, with a great sense of humor! He helped us get settled even though we pulled in later than expected. Both him and his wife were kind and welcoming of our four young children. Looking forward to visiting again!

Great Spot in North Florida!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Barry's Compound. Super friendly, gorgeous property and a nice quiet spot to park. The 50 amp service was very appreciated. Thank you Barry for allowing us to stay, hope we will see you again in the future.

Very nice!

Kind host made us and our kids feel very welcome and a safe spot to stay for the night! We would stay again for sure.

Best First Stay at Boondockers Welcome

This host is one of the funniest and nicest people we have met on the road. This was our first stay with BW (we are a FTF) and It exceeded our expectations. The host reminded us why we do this, to encounter amazing people like him, his wife, and the other boondockers who stayed on the property. Thanks for your generosity and love.

Peaceful night, lively morning

We were fortunate to stay at Barry’s site for one night and Barry is everything that you read in his reviews and more. He’s very knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor. He knows a lot about RVing and even recognized our truck camper’s make. It was enjoyable chatting with him and the other boondockers while drinking our morning coffee. It was an uncomplicated stay in a quiet, secure area. Also a nice place to walk in the cool of the morning. Sunset was pretty nice, too. Best wishes, Barry and hope we meet again. Colleen and Werner

Nice place!

Didn’t get to meet the owners. But, they graciously allowed us to stay anyway! We used the available 50amp and water. We enjoyed our stay!

Great host!

Barry is an incredibly friendly, accommodating host! Very knowledgeable about RVing and helpful sites and apps. Beautiful property and made us feel right at home! A+++++

Nice quiet rural setting!

Barry is a friendly and gracious host! Made us feel welcome from the first minute we met. Our dogs had a nice place to run and they loved Barry too🐶. We spent some time at a few springs Peacock springs was our favorite, nice trails to walk dogs. Would recommend Barry's Compoud to anyone in the area. We will definatly stop again! Thank You Barry😊

Wonderful stop

Barry's place was a wonderful stopover after 2 long driving days. Barry is interesting to talk with and would recommend his compound parking to all.

Great host, great location

Great spot!

Barry's brilliant

Barry and his wife are the BW host role models. Starting with the Boondockers Welcome sign at the mailboxes when you approach the driveway and ending with the best BW stay anyone could have.
Barry is a wealth of RV knowledge. The site is level, groomed and plenty of water and power. We were given plenty of time to rest and regroup and plan an alternative destination when the hurricane prevented us from traveling to the Carolinas. Small world Barry and his friends lived in our home area for years, now we are more than neighbors but friends. Thanks for a great stay. See you again soon. Travel safe in your RV.

Amazing host!!!

We are so glad that we had the opportunity to meet Barry and his wife Millie. They are super nice people and great hosts. Barry is very friendly and always helpful. We spent hours talking. Their place is nice and quiet. Honestly we can't wait to meet Barry and Millie in the future again. We really appreciate your generosity. Thank you Barry & Millie!

Great People

Barry was responsive and very helpful and making our reservations with him. Unfortunately due to an unforeseen situation, we had to cancel our arrival just after I had confirmed our ETA. Very understanding, I really hope to host them one day in Clearwater or have the chance to stop back and meet them in person. Thank you for your generosity!

Restful Stay

Our host was in the yard and helped us hook up to his 50 so we could run our AC in the 97 degree temperature. Very friendly host and a quiet site under shade trees made for a wonderful overnight stay. Our first Boondockers Welcome stay was just what we were looking for!

Peaceful

This host was wonderful. From the time we first inquired about staying to when we arrived in the rain, he was thoughtful and communicative. The site was level and easy to maneuver in. This host has been RVing for years and had some really great wisdom to pass down to us youngsters. We greatly appreciate generous hosts like this one and we are so grateful.

Very accommodating and friendly host

Barry went out of his way to get us backed in to our spot and settled in.
We visited in our RV for a couple of hours sharing information and experiences. He offered us a pluthora of knowledge about RVs, which was very helpful on our first night of full timing for TWO years!!!!!
We will definitely make Barry’s place a location to return to!!
Theresa & Laurie

Gracious hosts

Barry is so kind and accommodating. The site is easy access and has water and electricity. Rusty, the dog, is a sweetie. Millie, Barry's wife, is cheerful and happy to see visitors. Thank you for opening your home to this weary traveller. Your kindness is much appreciated.

Barrys compound

Great stay and great conversation! Easy in and out for any RV

Quiet spot

Barry’s compound is lovely quiet spot with an equally kind host. Thank you so much for having us!

Such a wonderful couple!

We stayed just one night, but wished it was longer because it was such a nice stay! The location is great - very convenient. Upon arrival we were guided in which was very helpful. We spent most of the night visiting with them, sharing stories and laughter. We had such a nice visit that we will definitely return!

PERFECT FOR MY NEEDS!

My first night on the road (in my new rig) was spent at Barry's Compound & I couldn't have chosen a more appropriate spot! It is peaceful, convenient, quiet, level WITH 30 amp service & water!!!

Barry was available & understood I had organizing to do so we had a couple delightful visits during the afternoon even though he is busy caring for his wife who just had major surgery!

On top of all this, Barry & Millie are animal lovers extraordinaire! I had the pleasure of being greeted by their lovely dog who had his eyes removed due to disease. He is well adjusted & extremely friendly.....anyone who has this level of dedication to their 'kids' is A-#1 in my book!

Nice people, peaceful place!

Nice place in the country; a welcoming couple offered a great spot near trees with 30 AMP & water. Chatted about RVing and shared experiences (and NY upbringing.) Recommend for any size as plenty of space. Barry has lots of experience w mechanics & RVs; whealth of information.

Easy to get to and quiet

We were really tired when we got here so didn’t spend a lot of time with host. Barry and his wife had just got home from a cruise and she wasn’t feeling well so we didn’t meet her. The site was nice and our dogs loved the fact that they could roam freely.

Beautiful country setting

Very quiet and peaceful setting out in the country and not far from the highway’s. Enjoyed talking with Barry. Barry was very gracious and even had water and electric for us to hook up to. He had a lovely patio set out in the yard that we were able to have our dinner on and enjoy listening to the whippoorwills. Site was very level and it was first time we didn’t have to use any leveling blocks. Hope to visit another time on our way through the area.

Fun times at Barrys

Spent 2 nights at Barry's. Nice quite spot, stayed dry even though it rained one whole day. Barry is a wealth of information about RVing. Milly (his wife) and Rusty (their dog) were fun to spend time with too. Wooded location down a quiet county paved road . Will back to see Barry next year for sure. Maybe Barry will get up to Ontario to see us too.

Incredible Hosts

Barry and Millie are incredible hosts! They are very responsive and confirmed my request to stay right after I submitted it. They're very kind and welcoming and extremely generous with their RV knowledge. They invited me into their home and shared RV tidbits from their many years of RV experience since the early 80s. Their land is pretty too with trees with hanging Spanish moss!! It's not too far off the beaten path, but it feels like you're in the country. I would consider them professional RVers! They even have the real deal RV hook ups (electric and water) like they have at campgrounds. If you're passing through the area and looking for a place to park your RV, Barry and Millie's property is a perfect spot. Thank you, Barry and Millie, for a wonderful stay!

Very peaceful

Barry was wonderful about my last minute request. I really appreciated that. His compound is a very peaceful place to spend the night (I only needed the one night) and Barry and his wife couldn't be more welcoming. I recommend this host!

Really Quiet at Night!

Barry and his wife were very welcoming. We were stopping over for one night on our way to help family due to a recent death in the family. They were super accommodating and we really appreciated everything that he did to make us feel welcome. Wish we had more time to visit. We would definitely recommend them to anyone passing through the area.
