- We've been camp hosting for the last 3.5 months and we are going to share with you the good, bad and the ugly on our experience. Included are tips and suggestions on how to choose the right location and what our employer provided for us.
We are 80 and 78 and have been living off grid for 25 yrs
We camp host and love it. We go beyond the call of duty taking care of campers day and night. We never get mad at anyone. We get compliments all the time about our clean bathrooms. We had 6 to clean and 4 group areas. Also 46 sites to care for by ourselves
They broke my heart after giving them 4 seasons of our perfect working -- they said they aren't renewing our contract next season
Now I am trying to find another place and it is not easy to fill out applications
This is truly my dream job! As a retired teacher, I think I can handle the adult day care haha
@@margannaful it’s all about the location if you’re going to do it I would recommend a campground that does not take reservations because they can be a real pain!
We camp at Muskegon State Park in Michigan, and the camp hosts are always wonderful. They set up an arts and crafts area on the weekends for kids and have Saturday morning coffee and donuts at the camp office. Happy camping!
That’s great maybe we should camp there! And donuts!! Thanks for watching
Never say no to tequila!
I’m starting my first camp-hosting job next week. Small campground, FCFS only, no hookups of any kind, and no cell service. This is my kind of camping! Hoping for a great season. Cheers, and happy travels! 😊
That sounds perfect good luck!
Its been 3 months. How is your experience progressing? Will you do it again?
@@whiterabbit2786 It was a bit ridiculous in the beginning as I was shifted all over to different campgrounds. After about six weeks of this, I ended up in the main campground with full hookups working in the office, which is where I’ve been ever since. Happy with where I landed as I’m able to run my camper A/C and working with nice people here in the office. We are constantly short as workers come and go frequently. This is pretty standard for the company I’m working for and I decided I would not work with them again, for many reasons. For instance, I was part time 24 hours a week and was expected to weed wack four large (not a ton of sites but a lot of property) campgrounds with equipment that rarely worked. Clean a dozen toilets, empty fire pits, and track down non-paying campers which is a real pain. In one campground it took me two hours to get money from 2 different campers. The manager expected me to keep a record of what I did all day so she could make sure I was “doing my job,” and told me she didn’t understand why it took me two hours in 4 different campgrounds to clean a dozen toilets…I was provided a truck to drive between campgrounds and the main campground to turn in money and time card. You had to get your manager to “ok” any time over your contracted hours. I work six days a week, and people would show up at my camper at 11pm at night to buy wood and the manager would not let me put up a sign designating hours for firewood purchases. A lot of it depends on your manager. I am now on a different team and it’s great. So, all this to say it’s the luck of the draw, and this particular company expects full time work for part time pay. YMMV. I will do this again, but most likely with another company unless there is a big change with the one I’m at currently.
if you want to be a camp host. the first thing you've got to remember. it's all about location! for Example. if the campground is secluded. No hookups. only has a dump station for you to hookup your camper and go to dump your camper. No satellite or cable hookups. what i like about this campsite is that it's very quiet and empty most of the time if not all the time. so you're pretty much by yourself most of the time. that's why i wouldn't mind being a camp host at this campground !!!!!
Yes location is key when camp hosting will do it again but different location!
This is a fantastic video, great job you guys!! I'm heading out in 16 days to start my journey. You are so inspirational!!

Do you travel to Florida? I just camped out at Gamble Roger's Memorial State Park, riverside. In Flagler county. Nice video on the "real" camp hosting, it's definitely a job. Thank you!
We would like to go down there in the winter time!
If you don't need the job, camp hosting is a harsh mellow pny nomad life.
if you'er wondering the location of this campsite? it's called Tallulah River campground. it's located in the North Georgia Mountains....
Will they take a single perdon to work?
@@nanakriscasita I believe so we had a total of eight camp hosts, and two of them were single!
Oh i almost forgot ! it does have a toilet house. but it is only one toilet to either side. mans & woman. that's about it.
Was that at Kachess Lake?
Yes it was!
