Question 1

What should I do to get started with Harvest Hosts?

Here's a brief overview of the Program and Host Requirements. 1) The program offers members 1 free night of dry camping in exchange for a suggested $30+ purchase at the host location. 2) Hosts provide a secure overnight parking space without requiring hookups. 3) If available, Hosts may charge members a reasonable rate for hookups. 4) Additional nights can be offered for a fee, managed off-platform to avoid overbooking, and won't be recorded on the Host's calendar.

Question 3

How much should I spend at a Host location?

Accepted Answer

Since there are no camping fees for Harvest Hosts, we ask that you support your Host to show your appreciation for their hospitality. When considering how much to spend at a Host, please consider the amount of money you saved on campground fees. We suggest spending a minimum of $30 in support of your Host. Hopefully, these are products you are already using. You can purchase produce at the farm, wine at the vineyard, have dinner at a brewery, or visit a museum. Perhaps you can purchase gifts for friends and family along your route. Boondockers Welcome Hosts are personal residences and do not have products to purchase. The only costs associated with these Hosts are for optional hookups that you might use.
