Campground Duties Overview
We are a small campground, currently only 13 sites. All of our guests have self-contained RV’s, so there is no bath house to keep clean. Each visitor stays a minimum of 3-nights, so there is generally not a lot of RV’s coming in or leaving on any individual day.
Your Duties will be:
- Create information packets and have them ready for the guests when they arrive.
- Meet and sign in the guests when they arrive. If asked, assist them in getting their rig into the site.
- When a guest leaves, you will need to inspect their site. Wipe down the counter, empty the ice in the refrigerator, empty their trash can and wipe the refrigerator down.
- Keep the dog stations stocked with plastic bags and emptying the disposal can as necessary.
- Occasionally deliver wood to individual guests.
- The pavilion will need to be inspected daily. Empty the trash if needed, wipe down the table, and straighten things up. It will also need to be blown off as the wind tends to bring in leaves and things.
- Mow and weed eat around the lawns that are in front of the sites. There are 5 of these, each is about 10’X10′. You will also need to keep these lawns and associated plants watered as necessary.
- Mow several acres of grass which for which we provide a zero turn mower. Weed eat around the park, which will be by far the most time consuming part of all your duties. This is best done in stages of an hour a day, every other day, or until finished.
- To make this job much easier, we provide a robot mower which will allow you to mow in areas that would normally require a handheld weed eater. Click here to see a video of this mower in action.
We are looking for someone (or a couple) who are able to manage their duties and set their own schedules. You must be able to make common sense decisions based on the issues that surround you that day. If you had planed on mowing today, but it’s raining, then you will need to do something that isn’t affected by the rain. You must be able to handle a zero turn mower, do minor electrical repairs such as replacing a breaker in the power pedestals.
It’s pretty much up to you to determine what needs to be done and when it needs to be done. As such, the hours you worked that day may be relatively few. But on the other hand, if there are 3 guests coming in, and we don’t know exactly what time they are arriving, you might wind up hanging out at your rig playing a waiting game. So it’s pretty unrealistic for us to set hours. And if we did, then we would have to treat you as an employee and not a volunteer.
This job is for someone who wants to volunteer their time in exchange for the compensation listed above. This job is NOT for you if you are looking for set hours or a paycheck based on those hours. Ideally, we would like to develop a working relationship that extends beyond just the 2026 season.
We are located at 8301 W. Old Murphy Road in Franklin, NC. Interested parties should contact us at support@deerspringsrvpark.com.
Thank you!
