✔ Harvest Hosts and Hipcamp have major differences! This side-by-side comparison is telling. You need to watch this! ⬇️
Harvest Hosts is known for free overnight RV parking and Hipcamp for alternative places to camp. This is a Harvest Hosts review and Hipcamp review that also shows you how to find places to camp, and unique camping spots using both.
As campgrounds are filling up faster than ever, having alternative places to camp is essential and both Harvest Hosts and Hipcamp camping makes RV life easier. I am so glad to have these “non-campground camping” resources. The more places to find camping resources the better!

Which is YOUR FAVORITE??? Harvest Hosts or Hipcamp? Let me know in the comment section below! 😁 Randi

@nancywaterman3560 3 года назад

Harvest Hosts user for a couple of years - very happy with all of our HH stays. Couple of other points to consider: 1) we can safely go to wineries and attractions we might have passed by because we know we can get our rig in and out; the comments and reviews help with this We just plan shorter travel days when staying at a HH. 2) HH now has online booking for many of their sites. 3) Some HH locations allow for multiple nights 4) We don't feel that the $20 suggested spend is paying for camping - it''s paying for the wine, farm products or museum admission we would purchase anyway. Great value in my book!

@nancywaterman3560 3 года назад

And thanks for the info on Hipcamp, I'd not heard of it before so will check it out

@RandisAdventures 3 года назад

I love your feedback Nancy! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences! 😀

I am glad you enjoyed the comparison Alison and appreciate you watching! 💙

@pdub6453 3 года назад

Very informative. For us, it is a no-brainer. It has to be Hipcamp. Even though we are a teardrop trailer, with a clamshell outdoor kitchen, we don’t “qualify” for HH.

@RandisAdventures 3 года назад

Hi! Yes, Hipcamp is the way to go if you are not 100% self contained. It would be nice if some Harvest Host locations could accommodate campers with your scenario. Glad you are enjoying Hipcamp!

@joycemoses2411 3 года назад

Great explanation of the two programs! Thank you!!! (Thanks for the mention...we still enjoy our Harvest Host membership even though we did not use it in 2020....it is available when we are ready). Thank you for your videos!

I'm another one who never heard of Hipcamp. I found your video by searching for "Harvest Host farms reviews" since I wanted to see what experiences people have had with HH farms and not just wineries. I think it would be fun to alternate HH with HC. Thanks for sharing!

@RandisAdventures 3 года назад

@suzannea66 3 года назад

I love this video!! Thanks for doing this comparison Randi! You did an excellent comparison. I have found a few locations I plan to stay at with both Harvest Host and HipCamp (thanks to you!) I may skip Harvest Host locations in the hot summer as I don’t currently have enough battery power for all night air conditioning. I am looking forward to see what you decide to do for your battery replacement.

@RandisAdventures 3 года назад

I am thrilled you found this video helpful Suzanne! I use my Jackery to power a small portable fan and that has worked well. If you don’t have a Jackery a small battery operated fan would work just as well to help keep you cool during hot nights. I am still researching RV batteries! Stay tuned. 😁

Both Hipcamp and Harvest Host have advantages…. And I thought both would be best for overnight stays when you are on your way to a long travel day destination but some of these camping spots might be a camping destination in themselves! 😁

@dmcooperjohnson2612 3 года назад

Can't sink my teeth into Harvest Host. I want to pull over, usually in the evening, sleep, and get back on the road. If a Harvest Host closes at 5pm, you need to be there before 5. Then they STRONGLY encourage you to make a purchase ($20 recommended). Therefore, I pay $80 for an annual cost and $20 for each stop. No Thank you. This video was very helpful. Never heard of Hipcamp. Will do some more research.

@RandisAdventures 3 года назад

Hi! Very valid points for Harvest Hosts overnight RV parking. Harvest Hosts is best for travel days that end mid afternoon because as you said, they want you to be there before end of business hours. I think Harvest Hosts makes great one or two night (find two close by each other) camping experiences! Camping on a farm, winery or museum sure would be a different camping experience!

@juliepreimesberger6571 3 года назад

Don't forget you are getting a meal, bag of coffee, bottle of wine, cheese, or whatever you choose to spend that $20 on though.

@mum2jka Год назад

Harvest Host all the way for us. And don’t forget Boondockers Welcome which is also part of HH now.

Hey Ben! I had heard that Harvest Host acquired Boondockers Welcome. More options for us!!!! 👍

As always - very informative. I do wonder about security at some of the Hipcamp sites since they are privately owned. Hate to sound paranoid but these are uncertain times. At least with Harvest Host you know there is some government oversight.

Thanks Terri! The reviews from previous campers are helpful to learn more about a location and give you a better understanding of what to expect.

I agree! Definitely investigate the area your intending to stay in. Sometimes the outskirts of town are better than "in town" for safety reasons.

Does it say on the Harvest Host listing if a generator is allowed or do you need to call to find out? I haven't purchased a membership yet because I am concerned about being allowed to use a generator.

@RandisAdventures 3 года назад

Hi Patty! On the Harvest Host website under Code of Conduct they say to stop noise, music and generators by 10PM. I am not seeing anything about generators on individual host pages. I think it is probably best to call ahead and verify.

@alexandeasy Год назад

If you're not on site, is there a way to insure that guests don't overstay their booking? Like how do you know they aren't booking for 1 night but actually staying for longer? I had cameras at my airbnb but I'm not aware of a camera system that would work off grid for this in real time.

@RandisAdventures Год назад

That's a great question but unfortunately cuz I am not a Harvest Host host I can't provide ideas. Hopefully someone else that does have experience will chime in with suggestions for you! 👍

Hip camp locations charge per night, harvest host is usually free. Big difference. From what I can tell harvest host will not allow small campers with exterior kitchens. Sad as we are looking at a UEV 490, and the kitchen is external.

Harvest Host does have an annual membership you need to pay so not free but two usages probably pays for the membership cost.
