Harvest Host boondocking made easy!
Quick Overview: This is the easiest way to boondock at an establishment – ever!
Just sign up at the counter, and you can stay two nights on the farm for free.
Many RVer’s use Harvest Hosts service to camp at wineries, farms, breweries and golf courses around the country. For an annual fee of $99 (2022 prices), you get access to hundreds of businesses who allow you to dry camp on their property. While you don’t pay a nightly camping fee like you would at a campground or RV Park, you are requested to avail yourself of their services; buy a bottle of wine at the winery or purchase an admission ticket at a petting farm, etc.
Blue Heron French Cheese Company – We found ourselves in need of a place to stay for one night while moving between campsites on the Oregon Coast. After checking the Harvest Host website we found that one of our favorite places – Blue Heron – was a host member! We then learned that they didn’t take advance reservations for Harvest Hosts. Just show up and sign in.9
The farm field was green, lush grass and well maintained. They had signage directing RVer’s away from certain areas.
The campers created their own spaces, and everyone seemed to line-up in a fair fashion. We chose a spot near the entrance that others avoided using. This worked out well, as we had a wide area to ourselves.
As we always do, we easily spent $80 on goodies. Do yourself a favor and buy a jar of their No Sugar Added Marionberry Preserves and a round of their Peppered Brie. The combination on a cracker is quite tasty!
Head over to the petting zoo and say hi to the pigs, goats and peacocks!
The overnight stay was quite and issue free. It was quite a nice find on the Oregon Coast.
