Harvest Host allows for campers to stay in unique locations. The idea is to stay at a site with no fees but in exchange support the small businesses at Host sites.

Host locations don’t provide hookups or services. Overnight stays are limited to one night unless the Host says otherwise. And if you’re a fan of golf, Harvest Hosts offers a $20 upgrade that gets you access to another 300+ golf courses and country clubs with overnight stays.
