Our campground is located in a rural setting 2 miles east of downtown St. Cloud, Minnesota. We are a Good Sam park and have just over 100 sites, including 45 pull-throughs and 80 full hook-up sites. Our primary customers are seniors and RV clubs. On the weekends from Memorial Day - Labor Day, we have a fair amount of families. We are looking for couples that can start work around May 1st and work through the season until Oct 10th (dates flexible).
​
We currently have the following positions available:
​

​
Store/Grounds Workampers
Our work campers work as teams - so the two of you would work the same shifts - typically work 16 hours/week. One of you would work in the office, taking reservations, checking people in, and selling items in the store. The other person works outside most of the day doing various tasks, including, escorting guests to their sites, painting, mowing, emptying fire pits, light maintenance and repair work (see Job descriptions below). We use the Campground Master software for our reservation system, this is easy to learn and easy to use.
Under normal circumstances, we do not offer an hourly wage, however, in return for your services, there will be no charge to you for your 50 amp site with cement pad, propane, WiFi internet, electricity, and laundry. In addition, you will receive 20% off anything for sale in the store (excluding consignment items) and RV parts from Camping World for cost (plus tax). A year end bonus is given to all Workampers who fulfill their season's commitment.
We are looking for friendly, outgoing, motivated couples who enjoy working with the public. Please let us know if you're available and interested and we will set up a phone interview.
We were nominated by seven of our workampers in 2008 for Workamper News magazine Employers of the year. It is our great honor to have been chosen Employers of the year for 2008. We strive to make your workamping experience a great one. Please give us a call if you are interested in helping us out at our RV Park.
