Timely - received an email from Family RV Assoc (FMCA) yesterday about that membership.

They are now a partner and FRVA members can join for $29.99 for the year.

May have to check it out as the membership pricing is much more in line with something we would pickup. Harvest Hosts got too expensive to make it worth while for us.

I just rejoined Harvest Hosts during their 30% off Memorial Day sale as I'm getting ready to set sail again soon. I like their system and growing number of options (stops), haven't looked at others, but it works well for overnights. I want to try golf courses this next time around so I can practice and be better prepared to stay on the fairway with @GlampDaddy instead of playing in the more secluded forested course.

FRVA is the new name of FMCA it is not a partner. They also have more benefits than Harvest Hosts.

Yes, been a member of FMCA for many years. I'm talking specifically about this article comparing Harvest Hosts and the RV Overnights app (whatever it's called) that's being compared. I have not used that one, I think others on this forum have mentioned it, I'm just familiar with and have enjoyed the web site and system Harvest Hosts offers. It still in the end costs near the same as a campground overnight when you "donate" to your host and give them business. It just adds more options and something different than the usual but can also be higher risk and needs more route study and destination study.

It is fun in the forest, not as crowded normally either

Knew how to play in the woods, when I played the game, and got confused when I was actually in a fairway
