We do as much traveling as we can and enjoy meeting new people.
Do you know or have you hosted this user?
DO NOT TEXT. My number has been spoofed and I had to shut the messenger off.
A long traveling couple that now has a classic (antique?) motorhome that loves going new places and meeting other people. We a parking spaces in the back of our large lot. We have done the Walmart circuit and have grown tired of the uncertainly.
Skills & Expertise to Share
Matthew is an effective technician, must be to keep the 45 yo Motorhome reliable.
mattcolie's Pets
We are dog owners, but as we live on a large wood lot, one must be cautious with small animals. We do take our pair with us when we go.
Favorite Boondocking Locations
We will be in our 15th season with this coach, and we rarely go the same place twice. We have been ONP in a snowmobiler's lot in Paradise, MI and in a COE clearing along the Sturgeon Bar Canal. If they are available, our first choice is often a Cabela's and now we maybe look at Bass Pro.
As we are travelers and not campers, where we are going is anybody's bet.
mattcolie's Hometown
Our mailing address is Belleville, MI. Where we live bears little relation to our mailing address. If you are looking at a map, look for New Boston. We are in easy striking range of both Detroit Metro Airport and the Henry Ford Museum complex. Though not far from the I-94 and I-275 interchange, you must contact us for approach instructions as this is not simple. Ring the home phone first. Leave a message.

Great host
Mattcolie welcomed us to his driveway as he had another boondocker already in the usual spot. The north driveway offered plenty of evening shade and room to move around.
Be forewarned, this spot is not great if you have a huge rig or cannot maneuver you rig well. It’s a tight back in spot or a limited turn around if you drive in forward. The road out front was a bit noisy and you are directly under the airport traffic taking off. But....if you are headed to the Henry Ford this is the closest boondockers..
Do take advantage of our kind host. His knowledge of RVs and repair are vast and I think he will share that if asked. Anyone who road trips in a 45 yr old RV gotta know what he’s talking about!

Safe Port in Farm Country
Matt is an excellent host with lots of helpful information about your travel route, and especially things to see and do in the immediate area. He has a wonderful property where you can park in peace, tucked back off the roadway away from any form of traffic. We highly recommend reaching out to him for a safe place to park your rig, and will be contacting him again when we come to the area with our trailer. Thank you for everything!

Very Friendly and private
Mattcolie was very helpful. We had power and water. It was a little tight for a 28' 5th wheel. I feel bad for putting some ruts in his yard, since I had to turn completely around. It was also tight pulling into the narrow driveway. The mosquitoes were out in force since there had been a lot of rain, just have some spray handy. Overall, we had a nice stay. Thanks

Warm, Welcoming, Level area, Great advice
Hosts were friendly and knew all of the ropes as they RV extensively. Had great advice regarding the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village in nearby Dearborn. Highly Recommend. Thanks !
