RVing Plans

Travel Clubs

Even if you aren't a "joiner" most of these clubs have websites with useful links for RVers, whether members or not, so check them out. Almost all offer various discounts, particularly at affiliated campgrounds, but also for products useful for RVing. Many also have educational products or sponsor rallys.

Harvest Hosts

Billed as "RV Camping at Wineries, Breweries, Farms and more" this service has arrangements with over 1000 locations to camp overnight for free throughout the US, Mexico (Baja California) and parts of Canada. Membership is $79 per year for access to their list. Their website has a map with general locations, but details of individual host sites are behind the paywall. Guests are expected to patronize the businesses where they stay.

Boondockers Welcome

Recently acquired by Harvest Hosts, Boondockers Welcome is like a co-op in that members are "hosts" or "guests" (sometimes both). The hosts provide overnight parking space, sometimes with hookups and other amenities, although those are not required. The website provides a way to find hosts and schedule visits. There is an annual fee of $50 to participate, but hosts get "points" to cover their fee costs, and a 50% discount on the annual fee.
