For example, what exactly is the expectation for purchase at a Harvest Hosts location? Do you need to bring a gift to a Boondockers Welcome host? How do we keep our travel plans spontaneous with the new Harvest Hosts reservation system? And, while we’re at it, are there any plans to expand Harvest Hosts into Europe?Īs passionate Harvest Hosts members, we contacted Joel Holland for some answers. We love it.Īnd yet, we’ve always had questions about Harvest Hosts and Boondockers Welcome. All totaled, you can see why our Harvest Hosts membership is a highly valued component of our personal truck camping lifestyle. Harvest Hosts and Boondockers Welcome now represent nearly 8,000 locations (4,495 Harvest Hosts and 3,295 Boondockers Welcome) across the United States and Canada. In 2021, Harvest Hosts acquired Boondockers Welcome opening up yet another world of camping opportunities the diverse properties of fellow RVers. Many of our favorite Harvest Hosts were brought in after the acquisition. Joel and his team also broadened the types of Harvest Hosts locations to include golf courses, churches, and local attractions. Almost immediately, there was a dramatic expansion in Harvest Hosts locations with even more compelling camping opportunities. At first, we were concerned that Harvest Hosts might lose its community-focused spirit, but the opposite has been true. In 2018, Don and Kim sold Harvest Hosts to technology entrepreneur, Joel Holland. You may find this hard to believe, but some of our best memories of truck camping are from Harvest Hosts locations. From the National Soaring Museum in Elmira, New York, to the Maine Military Museum in South Portland, Maine, to Lightship Brewery in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, to Peggy Sue’s Diner in Yermi, California, to Smallwood Farms in Okanogan, Washington. Unlimited overnight camping at vineyards, wineries, breweries, museums, and farms across the United States and Canada? Yes, please!Įight years later, we have camped at hundreds of Harvest Hosts locations.
Then they reeled us in with their camping program. The Founders, Kim and Don Greene, caught our attention with photographs of their 2005 Lance 1030, almost exactly the truck camper Angela and I started with in 2004. In January of 2015, we came across a booth at the Florida RV Super Show for something called Harvest Hosts. If you want to camp at hundreds of spectacular breweries, wineries, farms, and museums (like us), this is essential reading. Here’s why, and the incredible story behind the company with CEO, Joel Holland. We look forward to connecting millions of RVers with the most memorable and unique road trip destinations.Harvest Hosts is absolute perfection for truck campers. Now, with the integration of Boondockers Welcome, Harvest Hosts is proud to offer the RVing community convenient access to the largest private network of overnight stays all over North America. “We strive to provide our members with memorable stays no matter where the open road takes them. Even as other modes of travel are returning, the interest and demand in road travel is at an all-time high,” said Joel Holland, CEO of Harvest Hosts.
The two companies said they share a mission of giving travelers opportunities to make memories and have unforgettable experiences in their RVs.Īs 65 million Americans plan to take an RV trip in the next year, this integration creates the single largest private network of places to stay for the RV community – now with more than 5,600 locations combined.
