Harvest Hosts + Outdoorsy
Harvest Hosts adds a unique dimension to RV travel by offering overnight accommodations at wineries, breweries, farms, and other off-the-beaten-path attractions.
Imagine waking up to panoramic views of vineyards, enjoying wine tastings just steps from your RV, or sampling fresh produce sourced directly from local farms.
The only way to really soak in those experiences is via a camper. If you don’t have an RV of your own, a rented RV is a stupendous way to open the door to these locations.
Harvest Hosts locations provide a one-of-a-kind experience that goes beyond traditional campsites, allowing travelers to immerse themselves in the local culture and landscape. Your Outdoorsy RV can help carry the experience forward as you crack open a bottle of wine in your rig, prepare a fresh meal using your RV’s outdoor kitchen, and close out the night watching the sunset from your panoramic rearview window.
