BOONDOCKING with HARVEST HOST and BOONDOCKERS WELCOME 

You guys are experts at finding legal, beautiful, fun places to stay. I just watched another 'tuber this evening who complained loudly about the NE and the inability to find a place to park up for the night. Comparison between experiences shows that you're tuned in or you're not, as you guys show us time and time again.

THANKS BOONDOCKERS... MOST APPRECIATED!!!! WIFE AND I ARE RETIRING IN SEPTEMBER AND WE PLAN ON TRAVELING TRAVELING TRAVELING AND THE TWO HOST SYSTEMS, PLUS BLM LAND, WILL BE A GREAT WAY TO SEE AMERICA!!!!!! : ) GOD BLESS AMERICA! AMEN

That was great information! I have heard of Harvest Host from other van lifers but had not heard of Boondockers Welcome. And nobody explained the programs as well as y’all did! 😊 🙏

Going to have to check those resources. A couple of stays and you’ve paid for your membership. HAPPY TRAILS

More great information and another thumbs up video 🙂

Thank you !

Yes another great info video. Thanks

Great information ... Thank you ❤️

It has changed now as it has sold, they added a bunch of legal stuff in their favor. As a former ultra host they blocked my access with these new conditions to be agreed to for me to access my guests. I told them there were a couple of those conditions that I didn’t agree with. The cancelled my accepted guests and left them hanging. They were contacting me asking what happened. My account is closed and I had 13 years worth of credits that I cannot access. We are just volunteers in the first place and this is how the new owner treats us.

Youall are a first class help thanks 😊

Thank you for the great info vid. if I understand the harvest host is more commercial, and boon dockers are more just private, wow sounds like I will be getting both. Just finishing up on my 1963 Airstream rebuild and almost ready to hit the road. Thanks again Stan

Now let me get this straight. It's "expected" items are to be purchased from a Harvest Host. This nullifies the website statement, "RVers to stay for free" doesn't it? That is a pretty slick way to get known and generate business. Someone was thinking! I do not consume wine so that would leave me out of the majority of places I do believe, unfortunately. Thanks for the review. I will research both further.

That was maple syrup for breakfast with some french toast. LOL. You guys and Roodle are fabulous.

I absolutely love Boondockers Welcome! I belong to Harvest Hosts as well but am not as thrilled with it as Boondockers Welcome. I travel more on the west coast and find Harvest Hosts are fewer and farther apart.

Apparently Boondockers Welcome has increased their annual membership to $50 since you put this video together. Also, one of the primary perks for the property owners is half-price on their own membership when they list as hosting locations. The best side effect, if you will, of Boondockers Welcome is that the majority of hosts are also RVers themselves and “speak the lingo” of nomadic traveling which makes communicating your capabilities and/or needs MUCH easier. You also failed to mention that many Boondockers Welcome locations offer a wide variety of amenities, from water and electric to dump stations and free WIFI. It should be noted that, while the services offered are usually for free and stays are limited (in advance) to between one to five nights, there are “suggested donations” for services like electricity and water at around $3 to $5 a night. All of this is clearly explained on their website pages. Regarding the gray water situation, I travel in a self-contained Class B from the 1980s that has a black water tank but, as you said, my gray water simply runs out onto the ground. But this situation is EASILY remedied by using one of those flat plastic containers people use to collect oil during an engine oil change. Simply slide it under your drain and fill it up. When it’s full, simply cap it and haul it off to an appropriate location to be emptied. Rinse and repeat.

Another very informative video. I’ll be road trippin soon from coast to coast and am excited and apprehensive at the same time. Wow that French toast looked delicious. I’m very appreciative of all the great info and tips you guys share. Happy and safe travels. 🚐❤️

Great info! Have heard of Harvest Host but not Boondockers Welcome. This is good info! How do you “compensate” the hosts at these locations? Seems too good to be true! Maybe a bottle of wine from the last Harvest Host? 😁 Thank you for sharing, love your videos!

We absolutely love your videos. We've consumed thousands of hours of content on RU-vid and your channel rates in the top ten. We were wondering if you still use Boondockers Welcome and if so what is your opinion now? Thanks. Lou & Melody

Hi thanks for the info. Which one do you like more? We're thinking of joining one. I seem to be leaning towards boondockers.

You say for Harvest Host you must have a gray tank within the vehicle. We have one that connects outside via a hose. We set it under the van and then put it inside when we're driving. Would this not meet their requirements?

have you traveled the lower east coast? I am located in NC and looking to start off with some local travel to get the bugs out.

Sorry, my wife sometimes says my listening skills could use some improvement. You may have said in the video, but does it cost to sign up with either of the two groups? Thanks for the info, I should do the courteous thing and buy a bottle..................... or a case of wine.

I have to ask, was that for video effect or do you normally have a little french toast with your maple syrup?

van dwellers not welcome, oh well
