campground host?

At lease with OSP there is no bathroom cleaning. Yes, we check them several times a day to make sure there is paper and no trash. I am not opposed to cleaning them, but it is not mandatory. Basically we clean fire pits, rake the camp site to make it look nice, pick up trash and be there to answer questions and assist people. We are NOT police and DO NOT enforce rules and regulations. That definitely is the rangers job. We ask people to adhere to the rules and if they wont, we simply say have a nice day and call the rangers. In day use parks you will be asked to mow the grass, prune trees and shrubs in addition to picking up the trash. Then if there are reservation areas we make sure to turn the power on, check to make sure they have enough trash bags etc. It is really easy and a lot of fun. Lots of hosts have some sorts of handicaps and again they only do what they can. One host I know does the park store. 4 hours a day each for him and wife 5 days a week. They spend maybe 90% of the time sitting outside in the shade enjoying life.
In exchange for our time we get a full hookup site for the month.

We have been working campgrounds for 8 years....no two have been the same. Just as in any job, you sell yourself and gather all the duties involved. Mainly for state parks, registration, selling firewood and cleaning bathrooms is the major duties.....we don't clean bathrooms. So in going to a large state park like Custer SP, South Dakota, they had a cleaning crew, no bathrooms were required, only stopping by to see if everything was ok. Private campgrounds prove to be the best way to go.....if you want more info, send me a private message.

I would look into doing this if retired - good luck with it and make sure you post the outcome! Sounds fun...

What some of the duties you were offered? What wouldn't you do again.

Not sure about those state parks. But if there anything like the Oregon park system you will have a ball. Generally speaking the park rangers are really happy you are there and will offer lots of opportunities for work. It is up to you to decide what you want to do. OSP's require 20 hours per week each for a couple or 30 hours for a single person. 5 days on and 2 days off. We have never had a problem getting off on Sunday for church either.
