Rockett Pad

This is a 24 foot rig, backed into the spot. Note that the driveway extends so that you can keep tires on the pavement and the the rear overhang the grass. There is some space for next to rig for lawn chairs and awning.

There is some space to park a car, depending on slides. Please note the house that is behind us and that access to their gravel driveway must be clear.

There is incline to get up driveway. You will need some leveling blocks to get totally level.

Turning into our driveway from the road. The road is narrow, however, we do not have any problems getting our 24 foot rig into the driveway and then turning it around to back into the space.

Description

Our home is near Long Island Sound. We are about 1 mile from downtown area (with plenty of restaurant options), the city green, boat harbor and the Metro North train station (about 100 minutes to Grand Central Terminal). Silver Sands State Park is nearby. Our boondocking spot is available for about 6 weeks in the summer. Chris is likely to be your host -- and if you happen to be a musician, you might like to join for an impromptu jam! Water is available but you will need about 50 feet of hose. We have extra garden hose you are welcome to use. Similarly, the 30 amp power will require an extension cord beyond the length that typically comes with the RV.

House Rules

Quiet time after 10pm to be respectful of nearby neighbors.
Please be careful not to block driveway access for the home behind us.
Please clean up after pets.
Please refrain from parking on grass.

Access Road Conditions

Two lane residential road to access driveway. Be sure to check your maps as you enter the city. There are some low clearance bridges (one is less than 11 feet) near downtown. Our driveway has some slope, but is definitely manageable with with some leveling blocks.

Tow Vehicle Parking Details

Our driveway is not ideal for a towed vehicle but it can be managed. Depending on the space needed for your slides, there is space available to park beside your rig. The maneuverability in the driveway is limited. We have a shared driveway with the home behind us, and so it is important that their access is not hindered.

Simply put - this couple took care of my family like we were rockstars! Not only were they available to answer every query they invited us in and were happy to extend our stay.

There spot is just blocks from the ocean and a ferry ride to Long Island.
