Traveling by RV in the winter has its own unique challenges and considerations. Not only do you have to worry about road safety and weatherproofing, but you also are often required to head south to find camping options.
If you want to or need to stay in a colder area this winter, you’re often out of luck as all campgrounds are closed for the season. This is where programs like Harvest Hosts and Airstream Club International’s Courtesy Parking Program come in handy.
Harvest Hosts gives you unlimited overnight stays at unique RV camping locations across the US and Canada, including farms, wineries, breweries, attractions, and more. Through Airstream Club International’s Courtesy Parking Program, you can stay overnight for free at hundreds of private properties owned by fellow Airstream Club International members.
If you’re already an Airstream Club International member, you already have access to the Courtesy Parking Locations listed below. If you haven’t activated your new account yet, you may do so here. Even though the Courtesy Parking Program is now powered by Harvest Hosts, in order to book stays at Harvest Hosts locations, you must have a Harvest Hosts Membership. Learn more about updating your plan here.
Without further ado, here are some of our favorite Courtesy Parking locations & Harvest Hosts Locations that you can enjoy all year long.
