Harvest Hosts

Harvest Hosts is a remarkable camping service all across North America.  You join up for an annual fee (~$90CAD), and have access to thousands of farms, distilleries, wineries, apiaries, museums and so on who have offered their property to campers who wish to stay one night in their area. 

Usually these parking spaces don’t have electricity or water (a few might for a fee), and they’re sorta free.  The idea is, you pull in late afternoon to say, a winery.  You park off to one side.  You go into their shop and are expected to spend about $30 for the privilege of using their property for free (seems fair).  They close up shop at 5:00, customers all leave, then staff all leave, and you’re left in a quiet spot where you can relax and enjoy your surroundings.

I have booked several of these on my maiden voyage (one in particular is worthy of its own post – later on that one).
