Top Harvest Hosts Locations with Joel Holland – RV Destinations Podcast Recap

In an insightful episode of the RV Destinations podcast, Joel Holland (Harvest Hosts’ CEO) stopped by to share the Harvest Hosts’ perspective of RVing, which paints a vivid picture of the evolving landscape of RV travel in the United States. 

With 46 million Americans planning to go on an RV trip in the next 12 months, and RV owners planning three or more trips a year, on average, the quest for unique travel experiences is more in demand than ever. Harvest Hosts, with its innovative approach to RVing, taps into this growing trend by offering access to over 5,000 unique locations across North America, far from the standard campground fare.

Harvest Hosts is not your typical RV program. For an annual fee of $99, RVers get unlimited overnight stays at unique locations including vineyards, breweries, farms, and attractions, all while supporting local businesses. Joel’s passion for RV travel and his commitment to enhancing the RV community shines throughout the interview.
