Harvest Hosts

What Harvest Hosts does

Harvest Hosts operates a membership-based RV camping marketplace that connects self-contained RV owners with small businesses (farms, wineries, breweries, distilleries, attractions, golf courses, and private-property hosts) willing to provide a free first overnight stay in exchange for member patronage. The platform is delivered through harvesthosts.com and native iOS and Android applications that combine an interactive map of 9,753+ locations, route-based trip planning, member reviews, and self-serve membership purchase. Members are organized into three annual subscription tiers priced at $99 (Classic), $169 (+ Boondockers Welcome), and $179 (All Access), with auto-renewal managed via Chargebee and payment processed through Stripe, Braintree, PayPal, and Apple Pay.

The company has executed a roll-up strategy to assemble a multi-brand ecosystem: Boondockers Welcome was acquired in June 2021 (3,386 private-property hosts), Brit Stops in March 2023 (UK and Ireland motorhome stops), and management of Escapees RV Club in July 2024 (long-established Texas RV community). Sister brands CampScanner (sold-out campground reservations) and searchforsites (UK motorhome stop search) extend the offering into adjacent inventory. Distribution is primarily self-serve and product-led, augmented by a homepage Progressive RV insurance placement and an exclusive AT&T partnership offering discounted mobile hotspot data plans to members.

Revenue is generated predominantly through annual recurring memberships, with secondary contributions from gift-membership purchases, advertising, and affiliate placements. Harvest Hosts is privately held as Harvest Hosts Opco LLC, headquartered in Vail, Colorado, with 11–50 employees and a community of more than 250,000 RVers across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Ireland. The company has raised $37 million from Stripes (March 2021) to finance its acquisition-driven growth.

Core offering

Harvest Hosts operates a membership-based RV camping network that grants self-contained RVers unlimited free overnight stays at 9,700+ small-business host locations (farms, wineries, breweries, distilleries, attractions, golf courses, and private properties) across North America, the UK, and Ireland. Members pay an annual subscription fee ($99–$179) and support hosts by purchasing goods or experiences during their stay, in lieu of traditional camping fees. The platform is delivered via a web application and native iOS/Android apps with map-based discovery and route planning.

Product overview

Harvest Hosts operates a multi-brand RV travel and camping membership platform rather than a single product: the core offering is the Harvest Hosts membership (web + iOS/Android app) that grants unlimited overnight stays at a curated network of small businesses (farms, wineries, breweries, distilleries, attractions, and community hosts) across North America, layered with three subscription tiers (Classic, + Boondockers Welcome, and All Access). Around that core, Harvest Hosts has assembled acquired and affiliated sub-products: Boondockers Welcome (private property stays), Escapees RV Club (events, discounts, education, and mail-forwarding-adjacent services), Brit Stops (UK/Ireland motorhome stops), Searchforsites (UK motorhome search app/site), and CampScanner (sold-out campground reservations). Operational integrations include payment, tax, geolocation, and cookie-consent services (Stripe, Braintree/PayPal, Apple Pay, CHARGEBEE, Anrok, Maxmind, Cookiebot), plus a partner offering with AT&T for discounted mobile hotspot data plans and free RVers Online University access via the Escapees bundle.

Recent moves8 records

Emerging players

• The Dyrt: The Dyrt operates the largest U.S. campground review and discovery platform with a PRO membership tier offering discounted camping — it competes for the same RV/camper audience's discovery and subscription wallet, though it does not yet operate a two-sided small-business host marketplace at Harvest Hosts' scale.
• AllStays: AllStays provides a comprehensive directory of campgrounds, RV parks, and overnight stops across North America with a paid Pro app — comparable to Harvest Hosts as a location-discovery tool for RVers, though operating as a directory rather than a curated host marketplace.
• Togo RV: Togo RV is an RV trip-planning and route-optimization app for RV owners — comparable to Harvest Hosts as an RV-travel software platform, with overlapping audience (self-contained RVers) and complementary (rather than competing) trip-planning functionality.
• Campanda (Yescapa Group): Campanda is a European motorhome and caravan rental platform that has been consolidated within the broader Yescapa/Camplify ecosystem — it is comparable to Harvest Hosts as a transcontinental RV travel marketplace player and represents the European competitive set for Brit Stops.

Broad incumbents

• RVshare: RVshare is the largest U.S. peer-to-peer RV rental marketplace and a Credence Research-listed key industry player alongside Harvest Hosts — both serve the RV travel ecosystem, but RVshare monetizes RV rentals while Harvest Hosts monetizes overnight stays, making them adjacent rather than head-to-head.
• Kampgrounds of America (KOA): KOA is the largest U.S. franchised campground network with 500+ locations serving RV travelers with paid overnight sites — a broader incumbent offering traditional campground infrastructure rather than Harvest Hosts' curated small-business host model, but competing for the same RV traveler's overnight-stay wallet share.

Direct peers

• Glamping Hub: Glamping Hub operates a marketplace for unique outdoor accommodations including RV-friendly sites and is named alongside Harvest Hosts as a key industry player by Credence Research — both curate non-traditional overnight experiences for travelers seeking alternatives to standard campgrounds.
• Hipcamp: Hipcamp operates a two-sided marketplace connecting campers with private-land hosts (farms, ranches, vineyards) for overnight stays — directly mirroring Harvest Hosts' small-business host model in North America and the closest functional competitor for unique RV-friendly overnight experiences.

Regional players

• Yescapa: Yescapa is a leading European motorhome rental marketplace headquartered in France — a Credence Research-listed peer operating in the same RV travel ecosystem, focused on rentals rather than overnight stays, with geographic overlap in Harvest Hosts' Brit Stops European markets.
• Camplify: Camplify is the leading motorhome and caravan sharing platform in Australia and New Zealand, and has expanded into the UK and Europe — directly comparable to Harvest Hosts' UK/Ireland Brit Stops operation and named alongside Harvest Hosts as a key industry player by Credence Research.
