Camp-Host Position at Applegate Lake, Oregon / Hart-Tish Park
Beginning 5/1/19, we have (1) opening for a Camp-Host at Hart-Tish Park on beautiful Applegate Lake. If you ever wanted to live on a lake in the mountains, this may be your opportunity? We are looking for an outgoing couple (2-people) to help manage our campground. You will need your own living arrangements (RV/ Trailer / 5th wheel). Basic camp host responsibilities are varied (mow lawn, clean bathroom, trash-runs, general maintenance, etc). These responsibilities average approximately 3-4 hours per day (per person). The camp host responsibilities are an equal-exchange for full-hookups (FHU). We even have free wireless Internet and Dish TV at the General Store. Our Camp-hosts are also expected to “work” at our General Store. This is a paid position of $500 per month + a very generous financial bonus/incentive package. Last year (2018), the camp host in this position made an average BONUS of over a $1000 each month. For the 4-month summer season, he made over $6,000 plus free FHU / Internet and TV.
The General Store is a very casual lake-side business that sells over-priced snickers bars and drinks. It’s the main hub to check-in all campers and sell/issue Day-Use passes for the Park. We split-up the hours working the front desk, so that it best accommodates everyone’s personal schedule. It’s not a difficult position, but it does entail many hours of sitting on the deck watching the day go by. Of course, there are busy/peak times (typically weekends). Successful candidates must be able to handle inquires from the general public, and bonus points to candidates that can fabricate a good fishing story on-demand. We have a season long competition on crafting the best fish-story.
I cannot stress enough……..please do not contact me, if you think this is a lucrative summer job. It’s NOT. It’s a lifestyle place to call home for the summer! It’s very casual and fun. Everybody pitches-in, and everybody has plenty of time off to explore the area. It’s beautiful. We have free kayaks and paddle-boards for you to use. This position starts 5/1/19 and continues thru the summer season. It ends approx 9/15/19 (weather dependent). Please email me with your job history, and a little bit about yourself. Please NOTE, this gig does require some physical activity and heavy lifting. Please Note: We love dogs/pets, but we must be sensitive to our guests and visitors to the Lake (as well as USFS restrictions and guidelines). Please indicate the size and breed of pets you live with. Please NOTE: we enjoy kids and families, but this camp-host gig is probably better suited for 2-adults. Please indicate if you have ever been to the Lake and/or know the surrounding area of Southern Oregon. Please include a picture of the RV/home you plan on living in. UPDATE: In only a few days online, I have received tons of inquiries. I appreciate everyone’s enthusiasm, but PLEASE follow the instructions I have outlined in the AD. It helps me sort thru the applicants. Thanks
