If you want to run 1 AC unit or electric heaters a donation up to $10....We have 15 amp available at several locations for $5 donation. You MAY donate what you feel is APPROPRIATE for your usage. If your not requesting any hookup utility there is absolutely no donation expected. Parking spot will vary because of Gift Shop hours.

Top Notch Host!
Rich was a great host and even had a quick reference guide he has created for local restaurants, stores, and resources.
Very nice site with great views of the sunset and sunrise across open fields along with of lots of stars visible at night. We’d definitely stay here again.
Couldn’t ask for a nicer host! Thank you!

Wonderful secluded backyard area!
Wonderful couple hosts this site! They are very helpful and knowledgeable. We used the back spot (15 amp hookup) for our stay and enjoyed wide soybean fields and beautiful sunsets and sunrises for our views! Highly recommended spot!

First Stay
Compliments to my host, he was very friendly and well organized. Easy in and out with level parking.

Great Stop
Our hosts were very kind and accommodating to our stay needs in providing power and with the offer of water. We did not need water, however we did use the electric.
It was nice to sit out in back of the house in the evening chatting of RV life and of various traveling to Hawaii. The cicadas were singing loudly and it was an overall nice stay. There was road noise that eased after about 11 but picked up early about 5:30... this wasn’t too bad as it did help us get on the road on time. We would stay here again if we find ourselves here in the future. Great hosts!

Very welcoming and friendly.
They made us feel very at home and welcome. Easy access and level. If we were in the area, we would come again!
FullTime+LovingIt
Awesome Hosts!
Rich met us upon arrival, showed us where to park and even brought us a couple slices of wonderful chocolate cake! We have been full time RVing for a while but just joined Boondockers Welcome. What a great host for our very first Boondockers Welcome experience. The site was quiet, safe, and easy to access, and Rich is a great guy. What more can anyone ask for?

Great Overnight Stay
Very friendly and welcoming. Let us test our new AC unit on a very hot/humid Ohio night.
Thanks Rich!

Great Hosts!
Rich and Janelle were very welcoming and gracious hosts. Rich connected with us right away and offered us info before our stay to make getting set up even easier. Beautiful property with ample shade. We hooked up to 30amp which was a blessing to have in the heat. Rich always made sure that we knew that he was available for any questions and we thoroughly enjoyed our conversations. We also visited their gift shop next door which was a special treat. Thanks so much for making our first BW stay so great!

Superhost
Thought this review was posted over a week ago. Our host went out of his way to help us. Due to extenuating circumstances, our 1 day stay turned into 5. Can't thank our host enough. This is a great location for boondocking. We look forward to meeting again in the future. Also, the bean soup was delicious!

Extended For Covid 19
So much gratitude goes out to our hosts. Friends from the first time we met. Our stay was extended because of the circumstances, and it was really a saving grace for us, especially as everything was shutting down. Well we made the best of it, and enjoyed our conversation, our shared meals and meeting of the minds to solve any issue that we had. Nothing but great respect and highly recommended. May our paths keep crossing in the future. Thanks from the bottom of our hearts.

Grest Hosts
This was a great stay despite the rain and high winds on our arrival. Thankfully they had advised us to arrive early. Got us settled in and gave us info on the area. We saw a beautiful lake and were able to get our errands done the next day. They invited us to dinner for a great meal at a local restaurant with good conversation. They are popular hosts and we agree they certainly are!

Above and beyond
From the moment we got there, till the moment we left, great accommodation, great conversations and a great memorable experience. We set on this journey to experience this big beautiful continent, not knowing that it's also the people who make it so great. This was absolutely awesome, as were our host. Definitely would love to meet up with them again someday. We also bought a wind chime from their great little gift shop and had them sign it.

Genuine Hospitality
Rich-Janelle Nuding were very welcoming, helpful and accommodating hosts. We were traveling and requested to stay at short-notice and they responded promptly, and kept in touch. Thank you!,

Salt of the earth
Rich and JANELLE are great people, they were so welcoming when we arrived. We only stayed one evening and were tired from our drive, but the next day we enjoyed conversations with both of them. Such a nice down to earth couple who offered everything that they could, electric, WiFi password, even let us know where we could dump if we needed.
They even have a gift shop with such cool unique gifts. I of course bought something.
Oh and let’s not forget the beautiful grounds. We had the perfect level spot in their field, that looked out to the soy bean fields, with a beautiful sunrise to enjoy with our morning coffee.
Thank you to you both for a lovely stay. Will definitely stop by again if we ever come through.

FANTASTIC FUN FRIENDLY
We arrived as strangers - - left after 4 days not just friends but family!
Our host welcomed us at the road then directed us into a lovely spacious spot. Could not ask for a better place to spend some time relaxing and enjoying “country life”!
Our hosts have so many interesting things to share — tips and tricks with a travel trailer/5th wheel, yummy Instant Pot recipes, and so much more. Their back porch is wonderful - we can not share enough about this couple.
Our cat was ill and immediately they contacted their vet for us!
One thing this BAMA girl did learn ::::
“OH” —- “IO”
Hoping we can meet up again on our travels!!!

Wonder people, beautiful location
The hosts were exceptionally accommodating and friendly. I enjoy spending time, talking with them.
The hummingbirds were also fun to watch and the area was beatiful.
We hope to see them again while traveling or if we are able to come back in the area.
We highly recommend this site.

Stop and shop
What welcoming hosts, Rich made sure we found our site and settled in. Nice country setting so close to town. Told us about C Town wings for dinner, very good!! Also enjoyed a great breakfast at The Fountain. Try the Billy Bob!! Don't forget to stop in the gift shop for some unique gifts.

What a great couple
We really enjoyed our stay and feel we have made new friends. We hope they will be able to visit us in the winter. The location is very good and we could not have been made more welcome from the moment we arrived until we had to leave. This is a great place for any one to spend a night or better still a few days. A big thanks to our hosts.

Great stopover
Such sweet hosts. Enjoyed stopping in her stop and hanging out under the cool shady tree. We just fit in the turn around u-shaped driveway with our big rig 45 ft fiver. Our hosts were incredibly a accomodating and met us upon arrival. This location was great stop on our return east from black hills. Thanks a lot!

Great one night stay in farm country
Such gracious hosts, we enjoyed our stay tremendously. The location is right in the middle of corn and soybean fields and we loved our morning walk down their rural country road. Great conversation with them; shopped in their little store for some gifts from the road. Look forward to crossing paths again in the future.
