Harvest Hosts

Code of Conduct

REMEMBER THE GOLDEN RULE

The relationship between RV guests and Hosts is founded on courtesy and common sense.  Please remember that these are farms not campgrounds and respect the professional work and privacy of those who are hosting you.  You are visiting by invitation and it would be appropriate to show your appreciation by making a purchase to support your Hosts.

Here are some simple guidelines that RV members of Harvest Hosts agree to for all visits.  Out of respect for your Hosts: 

• On arrival at the site, introduce yourself and show the Host your membership card and vehicle badge for the current year as Hosts only allow current members of Harvest Hosts to  park overnight on their property. 
• Support your Hosts and visit their markets and tasting rooms; we're confident you'll find something that you'll want to purchase.
• Hosts ask that you always call at least 24 hrs. ahead to arrange for your visit.  If your plans change, please notify your Host.
• Arrive during business hours and be aware that some sites have gates that will be closed after hours.
• To avoid inconveniencing the work of your host, please park only in the areas indicated by them.  Parking areas may not always be 100% level.
• Use any available facilities with moderation (toilets etc.) and only if invited to.  Please take all trash with you.
• Before arriving, ensure that your batteries are charged, your fresh water tank is full and all waste tanks are empty.  Do not empty your gray water on your Host's property.
• Never light fires and ask before using BBQs.
• Ask before opening awnings and slides so that the Host can park you in an appropriate place.
• Remember these sites are working vineyards or farms.  Please take care and if you have small children, supervise them at all times.
• Farm dogs may be present.  If a pet is accompanying you, please check with your Host before letting them out.  Pets are allowed only in parking areas and must be leashed.  Please pick up after your pets. 
• Avoid making too much noise (shouting or barking animals…).
• Ask before using your generator.
• No off-premises alcohol is allowed outside of your RV, per local regulations.
• Out of respect for your Hosts, please use the Host Directory only during its period of validity (annual renewal).
• Please keep a low profile. Remember that these sites are not campgrounds and that we do not want to disturb our Hosts' neighbors.
• Please do not stay longer than 24 hours.
• When departing, thank your Host for your visit.
