Campground Owners Want Workers Who Will Follow Directions and Work With ThemCampground owners are bound to see things differently than their employees do. As the business owner or campground manager, their perspective may be quite different from that of the RVer.
Q. What would you like RVers to know about campground work? A. That for the most part, and in general, campground work is fun! Living and working in the outdoors is a blessing and gives a person the opportunity to connect with all aspects of nature from weather to wildlife. Q. What is it about your best work campers that makes them stand out above the rest? A. What is probably most important to me is that the workamper not try to run the campground the way they see fit. They should be able to follow instructions and directions, and carry out all work as instructed or asked to. Q. What can workampers do to get your attention? A. They should pay close attention to detail as I am adamant about my park being clean, offering curb appeal to the potential RVer. A workamper should be safety minded and always make the camper feel important by giving them the best possible customer service. Q. What would you like to see on a job application? A. I want to see experience along with references that I can check. Grammar and punctuation is not as important to me as cleanliness, friendliness, and efficiency while performing their duties. Q. How do you decide how many hours should be worked in exchange for a campsite? A. To be perfectly honest, I am following what I have read in other workamping ads. 20-25 hours of work in exchange for a full hook up site with propane is what I am offering my current workampers. Q. What else would you like RVers work campers to know from a campground owner's perspective? A. I am not a slave driver, and in all reality I am looking for someone to work with me, as opposed to working for me. I want a workamper's stay to be enjoyable, comfortable, and a relaxed type setting.
