Harvest Raises $37 Million for RV campers.
Harvest Hosts has raised $37 million in funding for its membership program that lets RV campers stay overnight in wineries and other cool places. Stripes led the investment in the Vail, Colorado-based company, which has seen a surge during the pandemic as more people take vacations using big recreational vehicles (RVs).
Harvest Hosts promises travelers safe, one-of-a-kind overnight experiences. It supports small businesses such as wineries, breweries, farms, golf courses, museums, and other attractions in North America. Harvest Hosts will use the money to acquire more hosts and users by advertising on platforms like Facebook. Holland said the company was growing quickly before the pandemic until everything went on hold last March. But Holland stayed the course.
Harvest Hosts and RV Industry continues to boom.
Harvest Hosts has a network of over 1,900 locations where people can stay at no charge. The travelers are encouraged to spend money at these locations, which range from a lavender farm to a skydiving center. It’s a new kind of camping experience, Holland said. In 2020, Harvest Hosts’ members doubled, and tother they spent over $25 million in places they visited.
As the RV industry continues to boom, RVers need great places to stay. Around 46 million people in the U.S. plan to take an RV trip in the next 12 months. To alleviate the growing camping inventory problem, Harvest Hosts is partnering with thousands of small businesses across North America to provide RVers with alternative overnight experiences while helping fuel the economy and keep small businesses afloat.
