Description
I have several sites available on two acres. All have water & sewer. One has 50A, 2 have 30 A. Donation for electric $3/night--when using electric heat or 50A
These are on grass which is kept mowed. Some shade trees, but satellite is accessible
We attempt to keep our sites "big rig" friendly. With a 12' 6" high RV I've learned this is often a problem.
House Rules
Prefer guests who are able to reciprocate. (i.e.: are you able to provide a site for our rig--40')
Prefer at least 3 day notice--we don't have good wifi, so I don't check email daily.
Because of our location and winter climate, it's best to request date early.
We are in a rural area, across the street from a strawberry field.
We like to be considerate of the neighbors and expect our guests to do the same.
Access Road Conditions
We're at the corner on 2 county paved roads, only a mile from I-4.
Just call or email for hints/detailed directions.
Tow Vehicle Parking Details
Plenty of room--all grass. Mostly level--about 1 acre. About 100' to nearest street.
Availability
We are home during most of the winter months Oct- Mar.

Very pleasurable and honorable folks
Dover Guy is a very pleasurable hosts. He have a really nice place that is easy to get to and easy to move around in to get parked for your stay.
I hope stop in the future to stay at Orange Grove again. A Nice quiet place that is not to far from the best strawberry shortcake that you can have. Highly recommend this host to anyone looking to stay in the Dover, Fla area.

Lovely Spot
What a lovely spot we had at Dick and Pat's. We were welcomed with bright smiles and a beautiful setting. The "Orange Grove" is a very peaceful campsite. Dick and Pat have worked very hard at making guests comfortable with full hook ups. We enjoyed a 2 night stay and wished we could have stayed longer! On our first morning Dick brought us some very delicious muffins that were much appreciated! They welcomed our dog, Clancy and he also had a wonderful visit basking in some Florida sunshine! Thank you Dick and Pat and we hope to see you on our "Country Road" in W.V.

Welcoming Hosts
We were greeted upon our arrival by our gracious hosts. A beautiful spot formerly an orange grove was very comfortable and conveniently near our route of travel. We really appreciated the fresh baked muffins Doverguy brought us for breakfast! Yum!

Outstanding host and location.
Would highly recommend the Doverguy and his lovely wife. Their property is very accessible and conveniently located off of the interstate. Our only regret was we were in the area for the rv show and only had a short time to visit . We did get to set and talk around campfire and discuss our travels. Hope to be able to get back and spend more time just visiting.

Strawberry Delight!
You could search the world over and not find a friendlier or warmer couple than our Boondockers Welcome hosts, Doverguy and his wife. --- We came here to attend the Tampa RV show. The first night around a nice campfire we enjoyed the warmth of the fire and the fellowship. --- Doverguy told us that strawberries were in season, and we had to take advantage of our timing. He suggested two excellent places to go for strawberry milkshakes and strawberry shortcake. We are thankful that we took him up on his suggestions. --- Everything was exactly as described and more. With easy access to I-4, this is a great place to stay while visiting Tampa and the surrounding area. We can’t say enough about how much we were made to feel at home here. Thank you for an enchanting visit.

Very nice
We spent two nights at this host site and we were very happy. Host came out with maps to show us where things were and also recommend a few local sites. Very good time.

Very friendly
Even though we could only stay for a little bit and got side tracked over towards an airstream dealership; we loved our stay here. Easy in and out and all the conveniences while camping. When we make our trip back to FL we will definitely try to stay here again and maybe go for a bike ride!!

Excellent Hosts
Have stayed here before and they continue to go out of there way to make sure their guests are comfortable. These hosts were the reason we joined Boondockers Welcome and they along with many other fantastic hosts we have met at Boondockers Welcome are the reason we keep coming back.

Amazing site
Doverguy and his wife were not home, one of the neighbors came over and showed us where to set up. The site was beautiful which we could have stayed one more night just to relax!

Excellent hosts, perfect location. Hosts were very helpful providing information about the area . Shared great conversation over a nice fire and really appreciated their RV setups. Our dog Sage was treated like a family member and we are most appreciative of our stay. Thank you Dick and Pat.

Perfect hosts
My wife and I had the pleasure of staying at Orange Grove in January of 2018. You couldn’t ask for better hosts, kind, considerate, friendly, and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with them.

Awesome once again
I stayed with these wonderful folks about a year ago and recently when I contacted them about another stay, they were just as warm and welcoming.
The full hookups were so appreciated on the hot FL days!
It's a great location near I4. And if you're there in strawberry season, tooooo <emoji> convenient to fabulous shortcake at Parkesdale Farms!
RobertFruth
What can I say, fantastic hosts!
Stayed with them last year in April, great visit. Stayed again in November 2016 and for a couple nights in March 2017. They have always been extremely nice and helpful hosts. Boondockers Welcome hit a home run when Doverguy signed up to be a host. I echo what everyone else says . . . what a bonus to have full hookups while boondocking.

Nice People, Great Setup
We spent a few night boondocking at doverguy's location and the experience couldn't have been better. They are wonderful people and we really enjoyed our stay. The location was incredibly convenient and the water, electric and sewer setup was fantastic. We would recommend doverguy's location without hesitation. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

A Great Introduction to Boondocking
My wife and I spent four nights boondocking with Doverguy this week and it was a great experience for us, and a great introduction to boondocking, since it was our first time. He and his wife have a great setup with plenty of room for several RVs to camp at one time, conveniently located near I-4. They made us feel very welcome and we would highly recommend them as hosts for anyone traveling in the area.

Excellent host
I stayed 3 nights on Doverguy's beautiful property in Jan '17. He and his wife are lovely, great hosts and so very accommodating. This was my first stay using boondockers welcome and I couldn't have been happier. He has 30A hook ups with water and sewer. He is also located in an ideal location in Tampa, not too far off of the highways with plenty of room to maneuver. I would definitely stay again!
Thanks again Doverguy for having me your hospitality was greatly appreciated!

Wonderful folks and location
I stayed with Doverguy Oct. 21, 2016. The location is convenient to Tampa and Orlando. I enjoyed not only the RV amenities but also our conversations about RVing, life, and family. I highly recommend their awesome hospitality. They even offered my dog the use of the fenced yard by their house!

Super nice Hosts !!!
Stayed with these hosts over the Easter weekend. Extremely nice couple. We accepted a invitation to attend Easter services with them, very glad we did. Hope all hosts that we meet through Boondockers Welcome are as nice as they are. Extra nice to have full hookups for the RV.

A wonderful experience!
Dick and Pat are wonderful hosts. We stayed here while we went to the Tampa Supershow which is just a short drive away. They were so hospitable and could not do enough for us. The site is huge and we had access to electricity, water and a dump station if we needed them.
Staffhaven
excellent hosts
We spent two days here sharing their hospitality with a couple other boondockers. What a ball. The whole group intermingled. We felt sorry for Dick as he serviced everyone's needs in the pouring rain with a smile. We will be back again and had promises they will be up to visit us as well.

New Friends!
We are so happy to have new friends in this area. They are a delight to know. Sending a big thank you to both of you.

Great folks with a super place to stay
This was our first boondocking experience and we are happy that Dick and his wife shared their place with us. Great easy parking with full hookup during our stay and they provided many helpful travel tips during our stay. If you're passing through the Tampa Orlando alley on I-4 we highly recommend visiting with these folks. Easy access to interstate and multiple shopping options in the area. Hope to see y'all down the road.

Wonderful place to stay
Very nice accommodating couple. They had a rally to attend, but let us stay. Full hookup if needed and both 30 and 50 amp available! There are a number of spots on grass and lots of room for any size rig. The location is easy to find and not far from I-4. We had a peaceful quiet night.
