Border Boondocking

Lovely quick stay

Great stay and wonderful hosts.

Quiet and relaxing stop

Lovely hosts and super convenient location! Within an hour of the Outer Banks, this ideal spot creates flexible options for planning around heavy traffic and maximizing your time on the beach! My mantra for vacation destinations is "arrive early, leave late." Staying at Border Boondocking the night before arriving at the Outer Banks significantly reduces the stress of getting to your destination. If you're headed to Oregon Inlet, you have plenty of time for grocery shopping, visiting Bodie Light Station, or getting your feet wet at Coquina Beach. On your way out, take your time packing up your site and ease your way off the islands. Stop for a last treat at Duck Donuts or at Kill Devil Custard. After a quiet night with these friendly and welcoming hosts, you'll be fresh for your next adventure.

Great First Experience

Nice place to stay for our first Boondocking adventure. Wish we’d had more time to get to know the gracious, hospitable hosts. Hope we meet again!

Above and beyond

Several days before this visit, I was trying to line-up multiple boondockers stays, so that I could land a photo gig in OBX. With the heat and the humidity, rest areas just weren't going to cut it, and the campgrounds were full.

Shortly after they accepted my request, I cancelled because I could not get all the pieces in place to get the gig. When I explained my reason for canceling, they immediately called me on the phone and asked how they could help. We chatted on the phone for 30 minutes or so. Even though I decided to pass on that photo gig, that scramble for parking led me to these fine folks.

So, when I decided to leave MD and head for my SC home base, I didn't take the shortest route. I knew I had to visit Border Boondocking. If you're on your way to or from the Outer Banks, I highly recommend a stop here.

I hope to come back and visit when the weather is more conducive to hanging, biking and chatting with my new friends.

Very Accommodating...

Even though we arrived hours after our planned ETA (traffic and accidents) we were still warmly welcomed.
Worn out from the road we had a short conversation comparing places we've both been and BDW homes we've both been to.
The 30amp power was great as the summer weather on the NC coast was the usual hot and humid and AC a necessity for a good nights sleep.
We hope to see this couple again someday, on the road, our place or theirs.

Great couple

Thanks for allowing us to stay with you. Nice concrete pad with 30 amp connection at the pad. Does not get better than that.

I would return given the opportunity and recommend for others.

Perfect hosts

Great happy welcoming couple with the right touch and interaction, not to much and not to little, not sure how to phrase that better. Nice concrete pad just off the drive way and even a new 30 amp electric drop we did not anticipate. Offered the use of the large fenced backyard for our service dogs.

Taught us Boondockerswelcome.com nubes more about boondocking and boondockerswelcome.com

We could not ask for more accommodating hosts.

Moyock, NC stay

The hosts welcomed me and answered all questions before and after arriving. It was a bitter sweet stay, we didn't get to socialize much due to thier work schedule. Looking forward to someday returning again. Thank you.

Wonderful

Wonderful Hosts!!

Beautiful setting..comfortable neighborhood..generous accommodations!!

Truly a special respite!!

Many thanks, be well. Pete

All around perfect

This was a quick stop. The hosts were helpful and gracious and the location was convenient. In the future if our travels take us in this direction we would love to stay here again.

Great and quiet night stay

Thanks so much for the host family, we really appreciated!

Above and beyond!

Some boondocking experiences are OK, some are good, and others are excellent! This stay was undoubtedly excellent! They were so kind and generous—gifting us a watermelon and even helping us fix up a generator issue. We so appreciated their help and the brief conversations we shared. 10/10 recommend this wonderful couple. :)

Perfect spot!

Very nice and welcoming folks, great level, quiet spot to park! The hosts were awesome, we only wish we had more time to visit them a little. Highly recommended 👌 🙂

Saved us and welcomed us

We were on our way home to New York State while the coronavirus situation was worsening. We had been headed out west and turned around because everything is closing and we may not be welcomed in rural communities. Border boondocking were so welcoming and understanding. We kept our social distance and were still able to sit out by their fire pit and get to know each other for a few hours. Really nice folks, quiet neighborhood and easy to level spot. We would stay again, hopefully under better circumstances and to spend some more time in the area.

Great stay

So nice to meet these guys. It's always amazing how the BW community is so welcoming.
Too bad their Roadtrek was in the shop and we didn't get to see it.
Hoping to see them again when they come in our direction.

Great hosts

We stayed with this couple after having hosted them at our home. Quickly became friends. Very accommodating hosts. Would definitely stay there again and hope to welcome them to our home again soon!

Great stay in tidewater region

We hosted coffeemate1 in 2018 and are glad we had the opportunity to visit them at their BDW home base. Great accommodating hosts, nice location, but even nicer hosts. If you are in their area I highly recommend stopping for a visit!

Can't get any better

Had a great time with our hosts , exchanged lots of roadtrek and camping tips and enjoyed an evening of conversation . Waiting for them to visit us in Michigan to have more good times.

Under the pineson

We had a great time with our hosts. Enjoyed great conversation and discovered Senseo coffee and cushes shoes were just a few thi ngs we had in common. Hope to see them at our home soon.

GMC

Our hosts were very hospitable & the parking site was ideal on a cement driveway. We would love to return when we have more time to visit with them. An excellent encounter.

We had a pleasant and peaceful stay.

After being on the Road for almost a month, this stay at coffeemate was exactly what we needed for rest and shopping. Our hosts were very pleasing and helpful from the moment we arrived until our departure. Their place is peaceful and inviting especially with access to the backyard it was a great place to take my little daughter to play. We hope to one day see them in our place. Thanks J&L

Wonderful Hosts - Wonderful Accommodations

We enjoyed our stay with John and Leigh. Quiet, safe neighborhood! The spot is flat as a pool table with a 30 Amp connection. They were available for our questions and let us know when they were gone. The extra large, fenced backyard was great for our dog to run his legs off. If you are in the Tidewater area of VA (don't let the NC address fool you) this is a great place to be.

Nextchapter

It was such a pleasure to meet leigh and John , very active couple who get around and are certainly welcome to our home
We had a great visit sharing wine , food and stories , thanks guys for your hospitality , looking forward to seeing again .

Very nice and friendly hosts

We stayed two nights there. They offered hospitality as privacy. Had nice talks about life and travel with them and sipped a glass of wine at their campfire in the backyard.
We can highly recommend this place and would definately come again, if we could.
Thank you!

Very nice

Due to a last second family related issue I had to cancel my stay. Prior to that the host called and was very welcoming and made sure I knew all the details.
Thanks again and hope to stay in the future.

Very accommidating

Super nice, friendly, informative, helpful, and accommodating.

Great Location and Couple!

We had a wonderful night - great location, gracious couple and nice conversation! When you are in CT, please stop by! God bless you and your family

An amazing introduction to boondocking!

The hosts were exceptionally accommodating and helpful. This was my first time ever using a travel trailer other than the few days it took to get to the site. They were very helpful in showing me the ropes and how to hook-up/set-up at their house and gave me pointers for when I go elsewhere. I hope to have them visit my hometown and keep in touch! Truly wonderful people!

Wonderful!

Our hosts J and L were out at the curb when we drove up. They welcomed us like long lost friends or family. They just rolled out the red carpet. We would happily travel back here for no other reason but to stay with them. We enjoyed sharing our camping stories by their fire pit. Thank-You so much for everything. Oh and this was our first BW experience and we were beyond impressed!

Warm and Welcoming

Really enjoyed our stay with Coffeemate1. Even though it was brief we felt an almost immediate connection as we compared travel experiences and campervans. We look forward to getting to know them better when they visit us later this year.

Such Amazing People!

I cannot say enough good things about these wonderful hosts! They were very welcoming for me to boondock right before the holidays, and when my original holiday plans fell through, they invited me to spend Christmas with their friends & family, who were all wonderful & fun people. They are so generous and caring, love to exchange stories of adventures. The husband has some know how to help me trouble shoot issues with my generator. They wanted to make sure my camper van is in in shape to continue my journeys. Very sweet people and I feel I've made new friends. Definitely recommend!

Great introduction to Boondockers!

We had our first Boondockers' stay here, and it was definitely an experience worth repeating. We received a great deal of tips and tricks for our travel route, which we followed and will follow because so far they have been proven useful and correct. Thank you so much, we had a great stay.

Lovely family and great Hosts

We parked a night in the driveway at there house, these guys went out of their way to make sure we felt welcome and we enjoyed the visit very much.
Thanks Mates!

Perfect Overnight Travel Stop

We were fleeing the cold and heading south, looking for a good stop over. Unfortunately our hosts were out of town, but they still let us spend the night in their level concrete driveway and plug in. It was the perfect solution. Quiet, cute, residential neighborhood. Excellent communication. Wonderful experience.

Friendly Down-Home Comfort

Thank you to our hosts for a warm welcome, sharing your stories and giving us encouragement on the first leg of our maiden (...less than perfect) voyage. We got the electrical issues all fixed thanks to your advise. And we survived our first month out! We are having a great time... but after 3 weeks we dumped the pop-up and got a real RV that we now call home. Hope to see you on the road!
