We are looking at camp host jobs listed with CLM Services next summer. Anyone have information about this company that would be helpful if we are offered a campground with them. This would be our fi...

To the OP I am not sure about California Land Management, CLM, They are a fairly big outfit with services in California, Colorado and Oregon and maybe others. In Oregon they call themselves Mt Hood Recreation because, I assume and IMO, that no one in Oregon likes anything from California.
Since they are fairly large they will have rules and regulations regarding hours and work ethics and job duties.The folks that worked fro CLM that I talked to in Oregon seemed to enjoy the job and everything was new to them at the time as they had just taken over some of the Thousand Trails campgrounds and sites. Sometimes they would drive through our campground where we worked.
There is talk here about the hours required to run a campground we were paid for X number of hours to get all things done. Fire pits, toilets, renting sites checking reservations and checking for the proper discount documents for the annual passes and so on and so forth. On some weeks in the beginning we could get everything done in less time than we were paid for but we were still on site and would answer questions and sell firewood and dress up the host site. Then there were some times when you get hammered with cars backed up the drive and no sites left and those days you will go past your hours paid. That said I believe it all will equal out to an average of the hours you are paid for.
Then there are those times when pay does not matter when just helping out is the only answer.
i.e.
The knock at the door at 1 am the guy says "my nephew is having a hard time breathing I need help"
The knock at the door at midnight "my mom was drinking and fell into the fire pit"
The knock at the door at 11 pm "a friend of mine went out for a bike ride at 5 pm and has not come back"
just FYI
