Who you are
Weekend / a few trips a year, self-contained
Harvest Hosts Classic ($99 / $74.25). Not Thousand Trails. Passport America only if you still need hookup nights. What a winery overnight actually is.
Full-timer who dry-camps
Harvest Hosts + Boondockers Welcome ($169 / $126.75). Add Passport America ($49) for cheap hookup nights between hosts. Not All Access unless you golf or want Escapees. Not Thousand Trails unless you sit 30+ nights in one region and can live with 14/7. What a BW overnight actually is.
Needs hookups, not vibes
Passport America. Maybe skip Harvest Hosts. Half off a campground is not a farm night. 50% off is not a free night.
Tent, rooftop tent, or no onboard toilet
Passport America or a regular campground. Not Harvest Hosts. Not Boondockers Welcome.
Sitting in one region 30+ nights
Thousand Trails Camping Pass, one zone ($775 list / $475 promo through Aug 31, 2026). Only if 14/7 works. Do not add Harvest Hosts as a substitute for Thousand Trails. The 14/7 rule, explained.

| Full-timer, dry-camps | +BW ($169 / $126.75). Add PA ($49) between hosts. | All Access unless golf/Escapees. TT unless 30+ nights in one region and 14/7 works. | Driveways + farms. Half-off parks for dump/power. |
| Hookups, not vibes | PA ($49/yr; FAQ 3yr $129, 5yr $199). | Harvest Hosts, maybe. | Still a campground. Space available. Read park notes. |
| Tent / no toilet | PA or a regular campground. | HH / BW. | Self-contained: interior toilet and waste tanks. Tents out. |

Do not buy the extras by default. All Access is $10 more than +BW — golf hosts and Escapees, not more farms ($179 / $134.25). Standalone Boondockers Welcome is $79 on boondockerswelcome.com: driveways only, no tasting rooms. Details live on the explainers, not here.
