 This was my first stay with Boondockers welcome and I hope they all are this pleasant! Alan and Sherry were both very welcoming, but not at all intrusive. Their home is located in a safe and quiet neighborhood of Lakeland. The spot was very easy to access with my 25 foot Sprintebago. 30a and water was much appreciated. Hope to return!

This was our second stay and we enjoyed it just as much as the first time we stayed. We were met by our gracious host who presented us with a gift of fresh herbs picked from their garden. Its a very nice, quiet and safe neighbourhood. The space was grassy and even and very easy to get into. Highly reccommend. Thank you for an enjoyable stay!

Al and Sherry are great hosts. They made us feel welcome, and even helped us find community activities for our kids over a holiday stay.

Sherry and Al have a comfortable home and are very welcoming. We had a 30 amp and water hook up. Sherry had a information page printed up for local activities restaurants and grocery stores that was very helpful. She also looked up some info for us on where to see Manatees. We couldn’t ask for better hospitality. Parking is in the side yard and utilities are close. Great stay and wonderful nights sleep.
