Employment Roles

Campground Hosts

A majority of work camping jobs are seasonal, running from about May to October, though some positions in warm weather states may be year-round. Camp Hosts manage stores, marinas, canoe rentals, boat ramps, and horseback riding facilities, but the most common position is managing a small campground or part of a larger campground. A campground host usually resides in their own RV at the campground they are hosting.

Other requirements:

Minor children are not permitted to reside with Camp Hosts onsite.
Camp Hosts must have their own RV if living onsite.

I have worked for Vista Recreation for 16 years and it's a great company where growth is always a possibility. Started out in the company as a maintenance person, then moved up to Area Manager. Working in the mountains gives me great joy!
