Harvest Hosts, a Vail, CO-based provider of a membership program offering RVers access to 9,000+ RV camping locations, announced its acquisition of Escapees RV Club, a Livingston, TX-based RV organization providing community, events, education, discounts and resources to support and enhance the RV lifestyle.
The amount of the deal was not disclosed.
Founded 46 years ago by Joe and Kay Peterson, and led by Travis and Melanie Carr, Co-CEOs, Escapees RV Club is an essential resource for RVers, offering a wide array of services in the field.
The acquisition aims to enhance the RV lifestyle and create a more comprehensive network by leveraging the strengths and resources of both companies. As part of the deal, Harvest Hosts has acquired the Escapees membership platform, including memberships, events, education and community services. Travis and Melanie Carr, Co-CEOs of Escapees RV Club, will continue to operate the mail service and campgrounds without interruption, and Escapees members will continue to receive their associated member benefits as normal.
As part of the transition, Harvest Hosts has retained the Escapees RV Club staff.
Led by CEO Joel Holland, Harvest Hosts provides solutions to streamline the road travel and camping experience – with a collection of companies that includes Boondockers Welcome, a community of RVers allowing guests to stay overnight on their property for free; CampersCard, a campground discounts and benefits program; CampScanner, an alert service to book sold-out campgrounds; and Brit Stops, a membership connecting motorhome tourists in the UK and Ireland with small businesses for overnight stays.
