Our church has a large gravel parking lot where guests can stay, except for Sunday mornings but then the vehicle/camper could be moved to the east lot which is next to our large garden and hobby greenhouses. Plenty of space to be had and if needed/desired restrooms of the church can be utilized. There are no camping places nearby and this location may be helpful to those who otherwise may be 'stuck for the night.' Should you want to use the 'dump station' you need to do a bit of extra work though it's not a difficult task. As indicated we do not request a donation; however, if you do stay for more than 1 night it would be much appreciated if you give a small donation to the church for the hook ups we provide. Suggested Local Attractions:Our location is on the Navajo Nation (reservation) yet are a border town on its east side. On Saturdays we have a Navajo flea market across the street. Much natural beauty and plenty of national parks are nearby. Within a day's travel we have more than 20 national parks/monuments. Can leave camper at our site if towing a vehicle.

Our host was very nice and checked in with us a few times over our stay. He had suggestions about places to visit and even invited us to join a banana split function.

Very easy to access. Big, open parking area. It was Wednesday and it was Church nite. We were invited to share banana splits with the kids group. Just a great reception. Very friendly. The Pastor was more than gracious. He shared the WIFI, which worked very well, he turned on the garden hose so we could fill up our water and he even took the time to help us dump our water waste. He was a blessing. The hospitality was outstanding.

This place is very handy. There was one 120v outlet at the church. The host made water available to fill the holding tank. He was very helpful telling what is around to see. It is noisy since it sits at the intersection of 2 highways and it is an active church. We were surrounded by cars parking to attend church activities so we felt like we were fish in a bowl being watched.

We boondocked on the far side if the church parking lot with some shade from the trees. We came in the access to the north of yhe church which worked better for our 43ft 5th wheel. Pastor John came snd checked on us, gave us some information about the area and was very pleasant! The site is right next to a hwy intersection so there was a fair amount of road noise but otherwise this was a hsndy boondocking site for us.
