2026 Summer Season | Keep the Camp Roaring and Ready for Adventure!

Why You'll Love Working Here

You're the magic behind those "Wow, this place is awesome!" moments. Every day you'll be out there making sure everything's spotless, safe, and ready for fun - from hauling trash and checking playgrounds to fixing and tidying up whatever needs it.

No need to be a pro right away - we're here to teach you the ropes. All you need is a positive attitude, a willingness to jump in, and pride in keeping the campground running like a well-oiled machine.

If you love fresh air, staying busy, and making people's getaways unforgettable, this is your spot.

Your Daily Adventure Includes:

Trash Mastery

• Empty bins around campground, bathrooms, the office, and public spaces
• Replace liners and keep lids secure (critters don't need a buffet)

• Daily walk-throughs to scoop up those sneaky bottle caps, wrappers, zip ties, etc.
• Goal: make the place look like no one's ever littered, ever.

Playground Patrol

• Check equipment for loose parts, sharp edges, ect.
• Pull weeds, wipe things down, and keep it kid-ready

Fix-it Fun

• Assist with light maintenance: carpentry, painting, landscaping, whatever's needed
• Help with bigger projects (learning as you go!)

Guest Service Extras

• Deliver firewood like a campsite Santa
• Pump propane (safely - we'll show you how)
• Smile, wave, and help campers when they have questions

This Job's for You If You...

• Can keep a positive attitude even when it's hot, dusty, or a little chaotic
• Can handle weekends & holidays - our busiest (and most fun) times

• Pay attention to the little things (like a loose bolt or a crooked sign)
• Are cool with learning on the job - we'll teach you lots
• Can work alone or with a team and be cool either way

What You'll Need to Handle:

• Delivery of Making It Great guest service, by engaging and demonstrating a positive and friendly interaction with guests and team members throughout all areas of the campground. Be a positive team member, friendly interaction with guests and have fun with what you do!
• Promote the KOA system by referring your guests to other KOA's along their journey.
• Manage and maintain the standards and cleanliness of the campground's physical grounds to meet the needs of the guest and comply with the annual Quality Review process.
• Lifting up to 50 lbs (don't worry - we won't make you carry an RV)
• Bending, climbing, crouching, standing for long periods
• Working in all kinds of weather - sun, wind, and everything in between
• Using tools and light equipment (sometimes loud, always fun)

Bonus Points If You:

• Know a little about fixing stuff (plumbing, electric, landscaping, etc.)
• Are handy with a leaf blower, shovel, or paintbrush
• Are tech-comfy (radios, phone, apps, ect)
• Can make a guest smile just by being friendly

What You Get:

• A crew that works hard, jokes harder, and still gets stuff done
• Days so busy you'll forget what time is.
• Memories, weird tan lines, and that satisfying "I crushed it" feeling
• Free laundry - because smelling like campfire is optional
• A free campsite - your very own slice of paradise with killer views
• And the ultimate brag: "Yep, I kept this campground awesome."
