What is a Camp Host
Camp hosting (also known as Work Camping or
Workamping) is one of the fastest growing trends in the
American job market. In most cases, camp hosts (both
individuals and couples) with their own RV or trailer offer
their labor maintaining a recreational facility in exchange
for a free camping site plus wages.
Many work camping jobs are seasonal, running
from about May to October, though some positions in warm
weather states like Florida or Arizona may be year round.
Recreation Resource Management has camp
hosts managing stores, marinas, canoe rentals, boat ramps and
horseback riding facilities, but the most common position is
of course managing a small camp ground or part of a larger
campground.
A campground host usually resides in their
own RV at the campground they are hosting, and are typically
responsible for:
- Greeting guests
- Collecting fees
- Preparing weekly revenue and attendance
reports
- Helping guests solve problems
- Cleaning exterior and interior facilities
- Some light maintenance
