What a fun van and guy!

Chris and his van are a delight! He is self sufficient and interesting to talk with. We had a very short visit, but I would welcome him back any time.

Glad it worked!

Our driveway was full but I wanted to provide a safe space. We are lucky that there’s a pleasant area to park on our street... and I’m so glad CW was able to be flexible. Super easy communication. Hope we get the chance to host properly next time! CW is welcome back any time!

First rate guest second time around

Just as compatible as the first visit

First rate guest

We enjoyed a very pleasant evening of good conversation with Chris, highly recommend, respectful and courteous.

Great stay!

I didn't get to meet the host since I arrived late and had to leave early for a race. It's apparent that cwmacphail is a great host nonetheless. His instructions are clear and well-thought-out. Extension cord and hose are provided as stated. I'd love to go back and meet him in person next time! Thank you!

Solana Beach Birthday

Our daughter in law to be turned 21 and we wanted to remain safe on a rainy night before Thanksgiving, driving down from Orange County. This was such a gift! Our host was so kind as to have beautiful leveling wood ready for us when we pulled in. Cool guy. Great van. Great neighborhood. Gratitude!

Awesome stay x 2!

Wow! What a wonderful stay at Chris's place. Such a nice neighborhood, close by to everything including the ocean, restaurants, shopping, etc. But the best part of the stay was Chris himself — truly a joy to get to know. We had a great time exchanging camping experiences and chatting about our rigs, etc. Thanks Chris for hosting me and adding to my great travel experiences!

Our stay

Very welcoming.

Cool and quiet stay

Very quiet place to stay. Helpful host; precise instructions given. Short drive to San Diego. Perfect place either for the beach or to visit the city!

Nice Guy.....

Christopher is a really nice guy.....and is very welcoming.....I enjoyed my stay ......Thanks again Christopher......Yours Oak

Excellent host!

This was our first BW experience and this host set the bar pretty high! All details were thought out and planned for, from leveling blocks and water supply to fresh lemons. We are thankful for the quiet rest this location provided each night while we explored nearby San Diego. We drove in each day around 9:00 and left the city after 6:00 so traffic wasn’t bad at all. Thanks again for the great stay!

Great location, nice host

I had a great and easy stay at the host’s convenient location as I am driving up the coast. The place is right near I-5 and a few blocks from the beach. The host responded quickly to my request and helped me get set up when I arrived. Host was very nice and I appreciate his flexibility to have me stay as he had other guests visiting. Neighborhood was quiet and felt very safe.

Nice stay

We had a nice quiet stay hare. The host is very accommodating. Thumbs up!

Very welcoming

Chris is a hospitable host, he takes the time to answer and he gave us a lot of details before our arrival. He lives in a beautiful neighborhood and his courtyard is breathtaking. It is also very well located. Thank you for everything !

Great Host!

Chris is a really nice and generous guy. He offered water, electricity and even citrus from his tree! We really enjoyed our stay at his house. It's a very beautiful and quiet neighborhood, perfect to take big walks.
We hope to meet again!

Great Spot, wonderful host

Chris was a really great host. Always very quick replies to any emails and excellent instructions for finding his place and having an easy stay. We had a really good evening sharing nibbles, wine and stories. Would love to stay again if we're back in the area.

Pristine night-in all ways

Chris was a most gracious host, giving detailed instructions on parking, electric, wifi, trash, etc. This so helps alleviate stress upon arrival and during the stay.
Enjoyed seeing the last of a beautiful sunset from his back patio area, then chatting over wine and snacks. Perhaps we “chatted” too much but so much in common. Chris is also a very good listener.
Slept like a log—very quiet.
Hope to see Chris along our trails of adventures!

Excellent boondocking Host close to San Diego

Christopher has proved an excellent boondocking Host. We’ve had little time to chat but he gave us advice to visit San Diego. Hope to return the favour one day. Thanks again.

Awesome stay!!!

Our stay with Chris was our first boondocking experience. We imediately regret we didnt do it more often. Chris was most friendly and welcome. We enjoyed the good company!

Nice Stay

We had a nice, quiet stay in this host’s driveway. We met him when we arrived and he gave us clear, helpful directions. We were away all day and only there at night, and things worked out great for us.

Quiet neiborhood

We really like the spot and our host was very kind and generous.

Fantastic Host

Thank you Chris for being such a fantastic host with a warm welcome! We also appreciate all the RVing tips you shared with us newbies! :-)

Sweet host

We pulled the vanabus into the drivewa early in the afternoon and got ourselves settled in easily. It was nice chatting with him when we arrived and he left us to our own devices.

Great guy with a sweet nature. Super easy and fun stay!

THAT WAS EASY

Thanks again Chris for a simple and convenient place to stay in Solana Beach!

A-1 Location!

Able to successfully coordinate for a same day visit with Chris. This area of Solana Beach is close to shopping, coffee and the 5 freeway, all in a quiet, private neighborhood. Thanks very much for being a great host Chris!

Awesome Stay - Awesome Host!

Chris was the perfect host for our 2 night stay in Solana Beach.

Our Roadtrek van fit easily in his driveway of the quiet, upscale neighborhood and the slight slope wasn't an issue.

Chris also is quite personable and my wife enjoyed our meeting and our "getting to know each other" conversation.

Looking forward to the next time our paths will cross again. I/we recommend Chris highly!
