Exploring Harvest Hosts: Where Camping Meets Hospitality

Hey there, fellow wanderers and travel enthusiasts! I get a lot of questions about where I stay when I am traveling between destinations and it takes more than a day’s drive.  So today, let's dive into the delightful world of Harvest Hosts. If you've ever dreamed of RV adventures, picturesque landscapes, and unique overnight stays, then you're in for a treat!

So, what exactly is Harvest Hosts, you ask? Well, think of it as the ultimate blend of camping and hospitality, sprinkled with a touch of adventure. Picture this: instead of parking your RV in a generic campground, you're nestled amidst vineyards, farms, breweries, and even museums. Fun – right??

One of the coolest things about Harvest Hosts is the variety it offers. Whether you're a wine aficionado, a farm-to-table enthusiast, or a history buff, there's something for everyone. Imagine waking up to the scent of freshly brewed coffee on a vineyard, or strolling through a peaceful orchard at sunset. It's the stuff dreams are made of!

I’ve stayed at wineries, golf courses, flight museums, churches, private parks, a goat farm, and a family horse ranch, a small family farm with goats, chickens, pigs, and lots of veggies growing in their garden, to name a few. 

The best part about Harvest Hosts is the opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals. From chatting with winemakers to learning about sustainable farming practices, the experiences are as enriching as they are diverse. Who knows, you might even make lifelong friends along the way!

Is Harvest Hosts Worth It?

Well, it depends on what you're looking for. If you crave unique experiences, enjoy supporting local businesses, and appreciate the beauty of nature, then absolutely! However, if you prefer the convenience of traditional campgrounds or crave certain amenities, it might not be your cup of tea.

Of course, like any adventure, there are a few things to keep in mind. While most hosts are incredibly welcoming, it's essential to respect their property and follow any guidelines they provide. After all, it's about fostering a spirit of mutual respect and appreciation.

And let's not forget about the perks! As a Harvest Hosts member, you gain access to over a four thousand hosts across North America. Plus, the annual membership fee is a small price to pay for the memories and experiences you'll cherish for years to come.

Harvest Hosts guidelines do suggest that you make a purchase from the host. Though it is not required.  That said, who wouldn’t want to wind down with a glass of wine at the winery where you’re staying for the night, or grab a bite to eat at the restaurant/bar, buy fresh veggies from the family farm? 

So, fellow adventurers, what are you waiting for? Pack your bags, hit the open road, and let Harvest Hosts be your guide to unforgettable journeys and newfound friendships. After all, life's too short to stick to the beaten path. Embrace the unknown, savor the moment, and let the adventure begin!
