“As 2022 is going to be yet another record year for RVing, road trippers are looking for amazing things to do and see. With Harvest Hosts and traditional campgrounds as options, RVers are doing more of what road trips are intended to do – explore the country, not just park in it. Both options are actively helping RVers avoid spending the night in a public parking lot. Campgrounds and Harvest Hosts locations enable RVers to commune with the outdoors, connect with fellow road travelers, support small businesses, and take in some incredible views.
As they set out on the open road, the more options there are to stay overnight in their RVs, the better. According to RVIA, 72 million Americans plan to go RVing this year. RV ownership and rentals are reaching record levels. “We very much enjoyed many of the wines at Belle Marie.” “Our stay at Belle Marie was a one night stay between week-long campground stays for us,” says Steve and Sigrid, members of Harvest Hosts. Since Harvest Hosts locations offer boondocking (no hookups) for 24 hours, the data shows that members are more likely to spend additional nights in campgrounds before and after visiting small businesses in the Harvest Hosts network. Members are going on multiple trips each year, and during those trips they’re staying at a mix of Harvest Hosts locations as well as traditional campgrounds. Additionally, a full 23% of Harvest Hosts members report using their RVs more frequently each year as a result of being part of the program. Harvest Hosts, a membership program giving RVers access to unique overnight stays, finds that in a recent survey, 63% of respondents sleep in parking lots–such as Walmarts, Cracker Barrels and rest stops–less often as a result of being a member. This week, Rick is joined by Joel Holland, travel expert and CEO of Harvest Hosts, a membership platform for RVers to find unique overnight stays.
