Harvest Hosts

If you’re planning an RV trip across the United States, you’ve likely heard about Harvest Hosts. This unique membership program offers RVers an alternative to crowded campgrounds by providing overnight stays at wineries, farms, breweries, golf courses, and other scenic locations. In this guide, we’ll explore what Harvest Hosts is, how it works, and why it’s a must-have for any road tripper.

What is Harvest Hosts? Harvest Hosts is a network of over 10,000 host locations across the U.S. that welcome self-contained RVers for overnight stays. Instead of paying for a campsite, members are encouraged to support the host by purchasing products or services, such as a bottle of wine, fresh produce, or a round of golf.

How Does Harvest Hosts Work?

  1. Become a Member – Sign up for a yearly membership at HarvestHosts.com.
  2. Browse Locations – Use the online directory or app to find hosts along your route.
  3. Request a Stay – Contact hosts in advance to check availability.
  4. Enjoy a Unique Experience – Park your RV, enjoy the surroundings, and support your host.

Why Choose Harvest Hosts?

  • Scenic & Unique Stays – Trade traditional RV parks for breathtaking vineyards, serene farms, and charming breweries.
  • Budget-Friendly – The annual membership fee provides unlimited stays with no overnight fees (though purchases at host locations are encouraged).
  • Support Small Businesses – Help local farmers, artisans, and entrepreneurs thrive by purchasing their products.
  • Peaceful Atmosphere – Avoid the noise and congestion of traditional campgrounds.

Things to Consider Before You Stay

  • Your RV must be self-contained (no tent camping or van lifers without bathroom facilities).
  • Stays are typically limited to one night unless the host offers otherwise.
  • Call ahead to confirm space and arrival times.
  • Respect the host’s property and leave no trace.

As a family traveling full-time in our RV, we’re excited to incorporate Harvest Hosts into our journey across the U.S. We will keep you updated on our experiences as soon as we are on the road, within a month.
