Booking accommodation before you arrive is important. Only a few growers have on-site accommodation available, and it does get booked up quickly. Caravans and campers are most welcome, and it's a great advantage to have your own camping and cooking equipment too. The local caravan parks have excellent facilities including camping grounds - just book well in advance.You should always let The Salvation Army Employment Plus Harvest Labour Service know immediately if you have your own accommodation, eg. tent, caravan or campervan, as this makes it much easier to source and match you with Harvest opportunities.
