Wonderful folks/ great location
I enjoyed talking travel with oldnavy and his wife and getting to know them a bit. They have a beautiful piece of property. I travel with a portable surge protector but before I even pulled mine out of the bin, he had plugged me in with his. 😀 They had told me they had an early appointment the morning I was leaving so I had thanked them the night before but he called me later to say they were sorry they missed me that morning! I would definitely visit with them again.

A little piece of paradise
We were welcomed by Jack at the entrance to the property. He showed us where to park and where to hook up to the water and electricity. What a wonderful property. So serene and peaceful. Jack and Bobbie were perfect hosts and although we did not have a lot time to chat, we know we will be back to pick Jack's brain about RVs and their inner workings. A great spot to explore Jacksonville from as it is only about 15 minutes from the city center. Thank you so much.

Our 2nd stay as wonderful as the first
Jack and Bobbie are so very welcoming. The perfect hosts. Helpful without being intrusive. This time we got to treat them to our homemade pizza while we sat sharing stories under the stars. We really hope you make it to see us in Nova Scotia one day soon. Until then continued good health and safe travels. Susie and Matt

Very knowledgeable host
Super nice & gracious hosts! Jack is extremely interesting and has extensive RV knowledge. Provided water, 30 amp electric & level shady spot for a couple of nights. They even had a dump station! We look forward to seeing them again at our next stop. Turns out we were going to the same park! Kim & Joe

Excellent Host!
Wonderful and hospitable after a long drive! Many thanks! My Gps was unhelpful in bringing us in... Not sure if gps co ordinates would help other members.

Wonderful couple
We arrived to their home what a beautiful setup. Parked in a open area surrounded by trees, all hook ups right there at your convenience. We slept like baby's it was so quiet. Jack n Bobbie were extremely friendly and open their home to us to tell us about their past experience on RVing .. Bobbie and I had some wonderful discussions of our hobbies to show each other. Jack and my husband hit it off with Jack's collection of very interesting articles from his past adventures and career. His knowledge on RVs was a bonus for us also. Thanks Jack for the rake for the day! lol Thank you for everything and really hope to reciprocate back to you someday with open arms. Todd n Gina Smith

Great location and friendly folks
We stayed 1 night in early April 2017. Our hosts were extremely friendly and helpful. The site is down a flat sandy driveway and is an easy pull through spot covered with trees. Electrical hookup was an pleasant surprise and we really appreciated having it. We had heavy thunderstorms (2+ inches rain) during the night but the sandy soil made our departure that morning concern-free. We greatly appreciate being able to stay here and would highly recommend this host to others. We hope to host them some day in the future.

Once again, a terrific location with very friendly folks and a terrific location
We stayed with these folks in 2014 and couldn't resist staying here again on our way through. Just as nice a location and these folks are terrific hosts. Not too obtrusive but very open and friendly. Too bad I had a cold and couldn't interact more. If you're ever up our way on your way to Canada please do us the honour of staying with us.

Wow, we stayed a night in paradise, very quiet and private location so close to a City. These guys have had a very interesting life, we spent time listening to the many adventures they shared with us. Mind you we told them a few stories of our travels both here and at home in Australia too. Very welcoming hosts indeed and thank you for your hospitality. Kind regard, Woodgate Wanderers

Great hospitality
I stayed for 2 nights and felt very comfortable. They even invited me into their house and we exchanged stories. I would recommend them if you need a place to stay or even to say hello. Again thank you Oldnavy7.

Great Experience!!!
We stayed a few nights over new years at oldnavy7's place. The weather was not too great but they were soo nice and have a great piece of property! We needed some downtime and it was very peaceful here. Jack and I had some great discussions about RV's, Ham radio and solar systems. He has some great stories and is very knowledgeable about RV's. I hope we can stop back here again in the future. Thanks Guys!

Excellent and Accommodating
Jack and Bobbie were very accommodating on our trip south. They also helped us out on short notice when we had to leave early and return home due to RV issues. Site is nice and quite and offers a safe haven after a long day on the road. I cannot recommend a nicer couple. We thank you both very much!
THE GROVE
Safe Harbor
After driving through a bad storm we arrived at the oldnavy7 location where James greeted us , at the head of the long drive way.... During our one night stay we discovered that James and I had much in common since we are both retired military guys....James and Bobby are great host and their place is a Boondockers parricide.... Thank You, James and Bobby and we hope to see you again (at your place or ours).

Beautiful People in a Beautiful Place
My fiancé, my cat, and I stayed with Jack and Bobbi for four days and it was fantastic! It being our first time boondocking, we were pretty nervous, but they were kind and Jack was very informative, offering invaluable advice to a couple of newbies like us. The property was gorgeous, quiet, and a little out of the way, but easy to get to. We would recommend anyone needing a place to dock in Jacksonville shoot them a message, they're more than worth it!

Terrific Couple and a Wonderful Spot
Jack and Bobbi were gracious hosts. We tow an Airstream and our overall length is about 50'. No problem here. This was a beautiful, quiet spot to spend the night Thank you Bobbi and Jack.
bobmunden
Wow - what a terrific spot
Stayed Dec. 27/13 and were VERY happy we did. These folks have almost a park like property once you get into it. Well shaded, level location with power on a paved pad. He moved his own RV to accommodate us. We were made very welcome and these folks are the type of people that are interesting (and interested) to talk to. He is well versed in all things RV so I'm sure could answer most questions or advise of local facilities. We would welcome a return visit from these folks anytime they are in our area.

Our experience was perfect!
Our experience was perfect. We had a quiet night parked in lovely natural surroundings and our hosts provided a warm welcome, lively conversation, and tips for our visit to St Augustine the next morning. Thank you so much. We look forward to return visits and reciprocating your hospitality in Ontario soon.

Wonderful visit!
Thanks oldnavy7, We had a wonderful time at your home. Thank you for having us boondock with you and the time we spent getting to know you better. Beautiful spot to park with plenty of room to park and enjoy nature. Peaceful green natural surounding, yet, so close to main loop around Jacksonville. We look forward to visiting with you again.
