6 Reasons We Recommend Joining Harvest Hosts

Harvest Hosts

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to travel across North America, exploring scenic attractions that offer travelers a unique overnight experience? If you answered yes, then a Harvest Hosts membership is just what you need! Whether you are seeking access to our region’s finest wineries, historic museums, or delightful vineyards, there is so much to explore as a member. 

We know you have several questions about the program. This guide will give you all the answers you need to understand how the program operates and its benefits.

What is Harvest Hosts?

Harvest Hosts is an RV membership program that grants travelers overnight access to various local businesses and attractions that have signed up as hosts. Examples of industries include breweries, restaurants, farms, and museums. Think of a membership status as a unique opportunity for adventure seekers to explore a wide network of unique industries. As of 2022, there are approximately 4609 host attractions available.

Harvest Hosts locations are not available to the public, meaning only members can visit. Keep in mind that while hosts do not charge overnight camping fees, members should support them in some way. For example, travelers can spend a minimum of $20 as a sign of gratitude and appreciation for their hospitality services.

Not only will you be providing valuable compensation, but you will be contributing to the ongoing success of small industries. Without generous contributions from members, it becomes difficult for program hosts to thrive in a competitive market. 

Six Benefits of a Harvest Hosts Membership

Whether you’re an active traveler or someone who enjoys an occasional visit to cultural sights, a Harvest Hosts membership is a unique opportunity to embrace your adventurous self while experiencing diverse communities. Let’s explore some of the benefits in-depth:

Connect with the RV community

It is no surprise that becoming a new member of the RV community is an intimidating experience. With a Harvest Hosts membership, you can connect with other travelers, share common stories, and make meaningful memories along your journey. You might even develop long-lasting friendships that make your experience all the more satisfying.

Low camping costs

Ask any RV traveler, and they will tell you that costs are some of the biggest concerns when making overnight reservations. Considering that the average cost of an RV park inside national parks ranges between $25 and $60 per night, it is no surprise that campers will look for alternatives. A classic Harvest Hosts membership will only cost you $99 per year, meaning you gain access to thousands of locations for a reasonable price.

Support local businesses

We don’t think we need to reiterate the importance of supporting local businesses that become program hosts. Not only are they willingly opening up their attractions to the RV community, but they are also providing travelers with a unique opportunity to express their adventurous selves. Every purchase, online review, and referral you make goes a long way in ensuring local selections thrive in a competitive market.

Explore unique attractions

RV traveling aims to connect with the outside world and embrace its unique attractions. When you become a program member, there is no shortage of diverse pinpoints you can cross off your bucket list. Do you want to wake up in an alluring vineyard? How about exploring a renowned museum with ancient artifacts? Regardless of your destination preferences, there is something for everyone to enjoy! 

Multiple overnight stays

Harvest Hosts guidelines state that you must limit your stay to one night with each host. However, this rule is discretionary, as some hosts may allow you to stay on their property for more than one night. Whatever the case, never request a multiple-night stay. Always let your host make the final decision.

Refer-a-friend program

Let’s get real for a minute: Referral programs have become a necessity to ensure the success of a program/business that depends on consumer acquisition and retention. When you refer friends and families to the program, they receive 15% off their membership while you earn $15. In case you are wondering, there is no cap! Feel free to use the money to reduce your travel costs.
