So this morning I went to register for my spot in the Fort Sam Houston RV park, and guess who I ran into at the office. Yup, you guessed it. I walked in the door and said "Hey Phil" and you should have seen the look on his face. After I laughed I told him that I follow them on KZitem. Well, we hit it off and my wife and I spent about 1 hour chatting with them. These folks are very real. I enjoyed that time visiting with them. Hopefully, we get to visit a bit more before they have to go. As a new RVer, I have already learned so much from them in that one hour of conversation. You guys are awesome and I continue to say, you are my favorite military RVer couple in KZitem.

What happens to your kids when you are a Camp Host? kzitem.info/news/bejne/uG2d0WR4aqqmp2U I was enlisted in the mens department of the Navy so cleaning bathroom wasn't something that I had never done. I've been Camp Hosting from 2007 - 2017. My family LOVE to travel and Camp Hosting gives SOME families that luxury. The down side is that some parks do NOT like families with young kids. My pet PEV was the endless cigarette butts. If you are retired military many prefer hosting on base at MWR. In California, I had a group of women who thought it was their job to make the bathroom the worst that they could and then tell me that I was not doing my job. But when I took her Vietnam Veteran husband he was HOT! They learned how to field day.

Great advice about camp hosting. I suggest surgical mask and gloves when cleaning bathrooms especially toilets. Both are pretty cheap to buy. "Particles" can become airborne when scrubbing, sweeping etc. Airborne particles can make you sick it's also a good idea to change and clean your clothing in sanitizer after cleaning bathrooms. Too many really nasty germs lurking about in human waste to take chances.

We have done this for years in Florida and I am at the point now where I will never again do bath houses. My husband got a bacterial infection that almost killed him. He had to go daily for IV antibiotics for almost a year from a bath house in St. Augustine. He was so sick that the Dr even said they did not know if they could keep him alive 48 hours. They kept asking us where had we traveled out of the country because they had only seen this in feces of people from third world countries. We had not traveled out of the state but at this park it seems every one thought taking a dump in the shower was where they were supposed to do it. (State Park) I enjoy working ranger stations and nature centers but will never again go where bath houses are involved and last year when we went out I refused to do it at all. Not my idea of a vacation at all. But also in Florida you cant get a winter job because all the snow birds come here and take every single job available all winter long and only crazies or desperate people for a place to live will do it in the summers here.

I'm on a workcamping gig now as we speak, care taker of a private ranch. Most gigs are based on a low salary. You need to be careful with the hours expected from you in exchange for a RV site, normally around 20 hours a week. Lets say your labor is worth $12-$15 an hour , that would be around a $1000 a month of labor just in exchange for the site with hookups. They got very lucky with these clean restrooms. I was a camp host at a very busy National Park, lasted about a month. Worked my butt off, most campers were complete pigs, having to clean campsites and restrooms every day. There are some great workcamping gigs out there, just do your research before committing. Any questions, I'll be happy to reply. Almost forgot, if you are a handyman, basic electrical, plumbing, painting, you can do very well, these positions are in high demand. Great video!

We've camphosted the past 2 summers. Bad experience with a county park in Oregon and an AWESOME experience with a COE Park in Truckee, CA where we are actually going back again this year to host! Like you said, do your homework and research everything about that particular park.

I would guess that size of the campground and its condition might be a consideration in choosing a campground. Met a host couple at the combined base in Charleston SC. Very new small and the hosts that we met since we stayed next to them indicated they would come back to that campground to host anytime they could. Wonder if you have been there?

If you divide the dollar value of a paid stay by the number of hours you were required to be on duty what is the hourly rate?
@todayissomeday
5 жыл бұрын
If you divide by how much we worked it is about $16 per hour. But that doesnt include us being on call from 5-10 on our on weeks. But we didnt actually have to do anything so you can decide if it matters. Yes, it was a serious pay cut for us but it wasnt nearly as stressful as my nurse practitioner position!

While you don't plan to work a long time at one place, people need to consider that if they are going to be in one location for say 3+ months, there better be a lot to do and see in the area, otherwise they might get bored on their days off.

Many campground host jobs require cleaning restrooms. I have done custodian work before so that doesn't bother me. I personally think the women's bathrooms can be the worst. I know people who have hosted at COE parks and they say it all depends upon the ranger(s) you are working with. Rule #1 always do you homework and read what previous host have to say.

Does the age or condition of your rig impact your chances of securing a camp hosting position? We have not purchased our rv yet. We are still debating which type to get. One of the options we have considered (though not likely) has been a bus/rv conversion. I really like the ruggedness of the bus/rv conversion, but wonder if they are a red flag for camp owners. A more likely choice will be a Class A or one of the reconditioned Class C's that CruiseAmerica sells, once they are a couple of years old.

Hey guys Enjoyed the video. We have worked in National Parks, Civil War Battlefields. Wife worked in the office and did talks to grade school kids with her teacher background. I worked in the field doing talks, on the battle, equipment, number of troops, time of the year and soforth, families living on the battlefield. It was a extremely interesting thing to do. We met a lot of folks, shot the canons during displays plus the talks. We only worked three days each week and stayed for two months. We would definitely do it again.

We hosted for 5 months at a state park in Oregon. We did not have to clean bathrooms and if there were any bio-hazards in campsites or cabins (from kids coming out to party for instance) we just had to report it to the rangers and they would handle it. Expectations were low, but they were happy if you went above and beyond. An example of this is I helped stack a few cords of wood that were dumped outside the wood shed. All told we loved it and would do it again. The only downside my wife didn't like was she felt like she was on display and on duty 24x7 because we were in the marked camp host site. She has a bit of persecution complex and I didn't feel that at all. State Parks also tend to put limits of a couple of months per position or in the park, so it is easy to set up your duty for as little as a month at a time if you want to stay mobile.
@pukwudjivc

I should add we did this during the winter and there were points where we had over a foot of snow. There were times when we knew there was only one other person, the other camp host, in the whole park and it felt a bit like The Shining, but that was pretty neat.
