Alternative to Harvest Host

[Wemustrv]

We love Harvest Host and have been using it for 6 years no issues. We are a 40' class A with F150 SuperCrew Yes as in any camping area you have to do your due diligence and reviewing the sites. Some of the best most beautiful private sites ever. As for golf courses we have stayed at them and we do not typically arrive in time to golf so we just go to the club house and grab a bite to eat or a beverage. We have never had one refuse us. We have even asked at reservation time if this was acceptable. Top two photos golf course last photo Vineyard. At this point we were flat towing our Miata. Soon after this we switched to the SuperCrew.

how often is running the generator through the night a problem at Harvest host locations?

Having no data sample to rely on, I want to say about 3/4 or more request no generators; it seems when I have perused the options to stay, 1/4 say yes and some with limits. I see a few more offer electric hookups for a fee I haven't seen before. It could be anecdotal evidence.

In my HH experiences over the past 3-4 yrs, with very few exceptions, I have found the hosts to be extremely flexible with HH rules in general. I have yet to be somewhere that an A/C was needed that the hosts forbade the use of generators. They tend to care more about your business than anything else.

I travel primarily in the south and Midwest, which could be factors.

I've stayed in 31 HH and I've always been able to use my generator. Since I've never stayed closer than 250 miles east of the San Andreas fault, it may have something to do with the more lax rules.

I've stayed at 3 with 50 amp 2 with 30 amp at no charge, and 1 with full hook-up for $25/night. I've stayed several times for more than 1 night.

I have never had a problem. Most will tell you in their write what they allow. Several places I have stayed at have actually had power hookups for free.

I always look to see if they prohibit generators. Most of the time, the hosts that appeal to me, in the location I need, are either silent on generators (implied acceptance) or state they are allowed. If I feel that I will be needing the generator and they prohibit or greatly restrict, then I look for another location.

It is getting very difficult to find anything these days. It is time developers start developing RV parks everywhere. Just do not take advantage of people with the prices! RV parks, help bring income into towns & cities nearby. Couldn't get any better than that! Maybe the county & states can help pay for it. Restaurants & Truck stops are now adding RV parks. The customer just has to spend money in their establishments. Soon they are talking about a stay & eat membership card. Golf courses, ranches, etc. etc. can do the same. Recreation camping is a great way of life. It brings nature & people together. Another step to Grow America!

I am traveling in TX, NM, AZ, and CO and have yet to find an RV park close to capacity.

One of the problems is your suggested remedy for developers to build more parks. Corporations have bought so many private mom-and-pop parks and significantly raised prices that they priced many travelers out of the market.

I certainly don't want to see counties or states building parks since they often can't manage the parks they already have.

I'm curious about where you're traveling and having difficulties finding a place to stay.

I used to belong to Harvest Host but never used it. Many places do not have clear access for my coach, and I won't park on grass with my weight, so I canceled. An article in RV Travel mentioned another option.

Does Harvest Hosts have a new rival? LandTrust “new alternative”

Harvest Hosts has proved to be a popular program for RVers. For those looking for an overnight alternative to an RV park or a Walmart parking lot, Harvest Hosts

Thought I’d share a find from this am; RV Parky! For those nights you just need a rest before heading out in the am to your destination. Very interesting site and full of great info! Happy and safe travels all!

My HH renewal was last week and I decided not to renew. I'm now getting emails with a 25% discount if I renew. There may be a benefit of not renewing and waiting for the discount.

That is surprising. I’ve always been able to use my generator all through the night everywhere I have stayed.

I never had any issues running the generator.

Our renewal dates must be pretty close. I also didn't renew and I'm getting the discounts, pleas and a survey about what they can do to make it good enough to re-up. But for the same reasons I didn't renew, I'm still not going to renew. Be strong TxClod, you can resist!
