Why I love Harvest Hosts (RV Camping)+ GIVEAWAY!!! (closed)
Welcome back friends!
Ever heard of Harvest Hosts?? They are a yearly membership for RVers that provide unique RV camping at over 1500+ wineries, breweries, distilleries, farms, museums, and countless other unique venues! This is a company who's membership we paid for ourselves PRIOR to even picking up our RV because it was just too good a deal to pass up!! We've used it, loved it, AND are doing a GIVEAWAY on my Instagram so head on over to enter! The winner will receive their own year membership FREE, and will be announced on February 1st, 2021!
[Good news is, even if you don't win, you can purchase through my affiliate link HERE to get 15% off your own Harvest Hosts membership!]
Now, allow me to tell you the many reasons why WE LOVE Harvest Hosts:
1. Unique camping experience due to unlimited overnight stays at over 1500+ incredible locations across North America
We already know how unique the RV lifestyle is, buuuuuut the camping experience isn’t always glamorous, haha! Now can you imagine parking your RV on a beautiful vineyard, alpaca farm, tiger reserve, etc.? The opportunities for unique experiences with Harvest Hosts are endless, and thats what makes camping with them so FUN--Who knows what hidden gems you'll find?! Not only do you get to stay overnight at these amazing places, but you also get more privacy and views to yourself since limited spots at each location help make the experience just for YOU!
*Once you become a member, there’s also a Harvest Hosts App you can download! This helps you search along your route, and read reviews about different venues from other Harvest Hosts members prior to booking!” - - VERY HELPFUL!
2. Friendships and Convenience
When you camp with Harvest Hosts, you dont just get a place to sleep overnight, you get a full personalized experience!! With Harvest Hosts, you have the ability to meet people that you otherwise wouldn’t have! We not only met other Harvest Hosts RVers, and the awesome people who owned the unique locations we parked on, but in some cases we even met their families, personal pets, and livestock, haha!
You also get quicker access to these businesses being that you’re parked ON them! In our own experience, we were given free tours, free samples, and access to property with beautiful unblocked views! We've made relationships with some of these people, and plan to stay again and again! Harvest Hosts did that! :-)
3. Helps give back to small businesses
Harvest Hosts helps bring traffic to the "Hosts" who allow RVers to camp on their property, which include MANY small businesses! The places we've been to so far all claimed to have had an increase of visitors flowing in since singing up as Hosts! (After the year we just had [2020], I was so relieved to hear, and contribute towards their livelihood, and well being!)
Not only did we have pleasant stays, but we left with some killer keepsakes too! We were welcomed with a delicious, and free wine tasting at Century Farm Winery, in Jackson TN, owned by a mother-son duo! The wine was so delicious that we couldn't help, but leave with a few bottles of our own! We got to purchase some beef from Bee Happy Farm, a family-owned grassfed cattle farm in Brashear, Texas! We stayed on their beautiful property while we were traveling…It was on Thanksgiving...THANKSGIVING, guys! It was also there that we met our first REAL cowboy! :-D
(Of course, you don’t have to buy from the places you stay at, but Harvests Hosts does encourage it as a way to show appreciation to your Hosts! I'm sure, like us, you'll want to bring a little bit of the experience home with you too!!)
4. Its affordable! No camping fees!
Camping fees add up fast, but with Harvest Hosts it's only $79 for a year membership--there are NO additional fees, so it very quickly pays for itself to the point that you SAVE money! (If you don’t win my GIVEAWAY don't forget to purchase through my affiliate link HERE to get 15% off!)
*Notice: "The Hosts are, first and foremost, wineries/farms/museums and do not provide the services that you would find at a campground. However, a small number of the Hosts do offer electricity or water. This will be listed on the Host information page and may include a charge." --{FROM THE HARVEST HOSTS WEBSITE}
Thanks for checking out the many reasons why my family and I love Harvest Hosts! I'd love to know if you join, and hear about all of the awesome experiences that you have!
