Harvest Hosts

Code of Conduct

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT YOU ARE GUESTS.

The relationship between Hosts and guests is founded on courtesy and friendship.  Let's not forget that we are visiting by invitation and not as a customer being charged for a service.  It is important to respect the privacy and professional work of those who are hosting us.

Please make sure that you present yourselves with your RV full of fresh water and with empty grey and black water tanks so that you can be fully independent during your stay. By doing so, you will avoid asking your Hosts for services that they are not able to offer, remember these are farms not camping sites.  By acting respectfully, we will be able to continue enjoying the tranquility and beauty of the countryside for free.

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

• Always be a courteous guest.
• Be sure to call ahead to confirm that space is available at the Host.
• Let your Host know when you arrive or depart : a simple “Hello” and “Goodbye, see you soon” are always appreciated.
• On arrival at the site, show the Host your membership card and sticker for the current year.  Hosts will only allow currently identified members of Harvest Hosts to  park overnight on their property. Arrive at the site during business hours. Some sites may 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.
• Use any available facilities with moderation (toilets etc.) and only if invited to.  Please take all trash with you.
• Before arriving, ensure your fresh water tank is full and all waste tanks are empty.  Please do not empty your gray water on your Host's property.
• Never light fires or BBQs.
• No awnings please.
• If you have small children remember the sites are working vineyards or farms. Please take care.
• If a pet is accompanying you, ask permission from your Host before letting them out on a leash and always pick up after them.  Farm dogs may be present.
• Avoid making too much noise (shouting or barking animals…).
• Alway ask before using your generator.
• Out of respect for your Hosts, please use the Host Directory only during its period of validity (annual renewal).
• Remember that these sites are not campgrounds, do not expect facilities as provided by a campsite.
• Please do not stay longer than 24 hours.
