Why Camp with an RV Host?

Harvest Hosts offers members the option to stay overnight at a collection of 6000 sites across the US and Canada. All that is required in exchange for overnight accommodations is support of the local business at which you are staying. Does all of this sound right up your alley?  Read on for even more reasons why you should camp with an RV host.

In addition to the variety types of host locations, each offers conveniently-accessed sites, beautiful and remote views, and the opportunity to meet new members of the community.
