Be “on a roll!” Campground host in Mountain States

Campground hosts do a variety of assignments. Expect to answer lots of questions (and probably some pretty “dumb” ones). They post reservations, and ensure that campsites are ready for visitors. You can be “on a roll” by distributing toilet paper in restrooms, too.

In exchange, you’ll have a place to park your RV and, in these assignments, you’ll get a small stipend, too. Expect to be needed anywhere between early summer to late fall, but positions are flexible with regard to starting and ending dates.
