Scenic Farms To Visit In Your RV This Fall
RV Trip Ideas: Visit A Scenic Farm This Fall
It’s officially fall, the best season of the year! Delicious seasonal treats, beautiful changing leaves, and crisp cool air—just a few reasons to love the fall. And what better way to experience the season than by visiting a scenic farm in your RV?
But how do you find scenic farms to visit in your RV? With the help of a service called Harvest Hosts, it’s easy! Let’s look closer at this service and how it works, as well as scenic farms to visit in your RV this fall.
What is Harvest Hosts, and how does it work?
Harvest Hosts is an RV camping membership that gives RVers access to nearly 5,000 scenic farms, wineries, breweries, and other attractions. Pay a yearly membership fee, and then for no extra fees, you’ll have unlimited stays at locations around the nation that have partnered with Harvest Hosts.
The standard membership is currently $99 a year and provides unlimited stays. Plus, a “happy camper guarantee” allows you to refund your membership if you aren’t happy with it. In addition to this standard plan, there are two other tiers.
- Harvest Hosts + Boondockers Welcome – provides the same access as the basic tier, plus access to over 3,500 community hosts through the Boondockers Welcome network, which is also owned by Harvest Hosts.
- All Access – provides the same access as the Harvest Hosts + Boondockers Welcome tier, as well as access to 7,000 dump stations, stays at over 450 golf courses around the nation, plus info on local weather and cell coverage via the Harvest Hosts app.
Generally, your stay at a Harvest Hosts location will be limited to one overnight stay, though this can be extended at the host’s discretion. You’ll need to ensure you leave no trace and be aware that most hosts won’t provide any hook-ups. It’s also recommended to support your host by purchasing something at the location, such as some farm fresh produce.
