I am looking for a resume template that would be appropriate for submitting to ads looking for seasonal campground hosting and office work in exchange for a FHU site. Anyone willing to share?
Thanks so much

As noplace2 said, it's best to create your own, showing your own character and geared toward the type job you want.

For ours, I set it up kinda like stationary. I put our personal Info at the top - Names, home address, cell phones. I also placed a photo of us in front of our rig - close enough to make us recognizable, wide enough to show some of the rig. Take some time with the photo. It doesn't have to be professional, but avoid distracting elements, make sure it's in focus, dress casually, but nice, etc.

Next, a short paragraph about what type of position you are seeking. Don't put your "requirements" here or anywhere in the resume. That's something to cover when you get a serious conversation about the job.

Then I put some background about us - BRIEF explanation of our professional lives before retirement. Don't list all your history, just a short description of the type of work you did. Volunteer jobs we have done. Interests, hobbies, and talents, especially ones that might help in making someone think you would be an asset. Be sure to keep it brief, but concise.

Keep all this on one page. You don't have to make it a complete history of your life, just a short resume to draw interest in a further conversation.

On a separate page, we list our references. We include some from prior workcamping, and some personal references. For all, be sure to include contact info. If you don't have any prior workcamping experience, just list personal references, or maybe some from volunteer experience. Be sure that you get permission from any personal references you use.

These are just suggestions fro the way we have done ours. Everyone can make the resume personal and attractive to the people you will send it to.

Another suggestion: When possible, had deliver your resume directly to the recipient. That way, you can scope out the place, and get a good feel for the job. We have even gotten an interview and a job offer on the spot when we did this.

The best scenario is that you create your own, tailored to the specific position that you are interested in. This market is limited enough as to make a form letter unnecessary.
