What is Harvest Hosts?
Harvest Hosts is a unique RV camping membership where self-contained RVers are invited to visit and stay overnight at wineries, farms, breweries, museums, and other unique attractions. For a yearly membership fee, Harvest Hosts’ Members get unlimited overnight stays at 5196 Host locations around North America – with no camping fees. Harvest Hosts offers new opportunities to explore and enjoy the RVing lifestyle, providing meaningful experiences for RVers and Hosts alike.
If Members get to stay at Host locations for free, how do Hosts benefit from the program?
We’re glad you asked! Our Hosts are very generous to allow Members to park on their properties, so please support them! Think of how much your fabulous overnight is worth and make a purchase to support your Host. Buy some wine, shop in the gift shop, or buy some local produce. That way everyone wins!

Who is behind Harvest Hosts?
Hi, I’m Joel Holland, the CEO of Harvest Hosts! I’m a technology entrepreneur, and my wife is a veterinarian. We are avid RVers based out of Vail, Colorado. We love animals, and you may see us on the road with our two cats and two ferrets, who have taken to the RV life quite well!
Our mission with Harvest Hosts is simple: We feel that RVing provides a sense of ultimate freedom, which most people seek and not enough find. As cheesy as it sounds, we think we can help a lot of people live happier lives if we can get them off of the couch and onto the open road.
After hundreds of nights spent RVing through all 48 lower states, our biggest gripe was the lack of unique RV overnight experiences. Then we joined Harvest Hosts, and after staying at incredible locations from wineries to alpaca farms, it transformed our RVing experience.
Inspired by France Passion’s business model, Harvest Hosts was founded in 2010 with the goal of bringing similar experiences to RVers in the States.
In 2018, we purchased Harvest Hosts from the original founders, Don and Kim Greene. They built an amazing company and community, and we are determined to continue the tradition of connecting our wonderful Members with wonderful Hosts! In just a few short years, we’ve been able to grow Harvest Hosts from 600 locations to over 5196 with the help of our amazing team.
The Harvest Hosts team is made up of over 50 people, who work hard to make Harvest Hosts the best it can be. We employ people who are passionate about all things travel, which includes plenty of fellow RVers. To learn more about the people behind the magic of Harvest Hosts, visit our Teams page.
Hope to see you on the road,
Mary Ashley & Joel Holland
