Back in May, we announced that Boondockers Welcome had merged with Harvest Hosts, and told you to look forward to some exciting changes.

Over the past few months, our team has been hard at work to improve the Boondockers Welcome user experience by creating a single website for both Boondockers Welcome and Harvest Hosts with a range of new features that work across both networks. We will be launching this new site in October, and we wanted to share a sneak peek and also a few tips on getting prepared for the new site experience.

Sometimes our Members say it best. So we love it when we meet Members who exemplify the spirit of the Boondockers Welcome community.

We sent two emails to our members over the last week with some pretty big news. Here's a message from Marianne and Anna, and a message from Joel Holland, the CEO of Harvest Hosts.

It's finally here! The long-awaited mobile app for Boondockers Welcome is ready to be installed so you can start planning your exciting travels with our hosts!

We've added over 600 hosts in 2020, so we thought it was time to provide a little information about our hosts.

Over the years we've had a lot of hosts ask about liability should a guest be injured during their stay. Concerns over this often prevent people who would otherwise be interested in hosting from listing their location. That's why we're happy today to announce the Boondockers Welcome Protection Plan.

2020 was definitely one for the record books. While the COVID-19 pandemic was probably the top story for almost everyone both personally and business-wise, there were many other things, both related and unrelated to the pandemic, that made it one crazy year for Boondockers Welcome. Here are some highlights (and low-lights) for the year that was.

Have you seen the above terms used interchangeably? They should not be! While I never thought I'd call myself an "expert" on any subject, I'm pretty confident about my definitions on this topic.
