Campground Host

Jasper Point Campground Host

At Prineville Reservoir, we regard our park hosts as integral members of our team. Your contributions, efforts, and ideas are always valued.

As OPRD’s first designated IDA park (International Dark-sky Association), Prineville Reservoir offers exceptional star- gazing opportunities.

This position is located at the Jasper Point campground (3 miles up the road from the main park). The host campsite is a full-hookup site (30 and 50 amp electric, water, and sewer). Reception for cell phones is limited for folks with AT&T and T-Mobile. Those with Verizon or US Cellular typically have full coverage. Wifi is available by the laundry facility. 

Our campground hosts assist park staff with customer service, maintenance, and beautification with the goal of creating positive experiences for park visitors. The main responsibilities are campsite and cabin cleaning. There is one small cabin in this campground. We also ask for assistance with light landscaping which may include raking, blowing, and trimming.

For hosts with interest in special projects, we like to “play to your strengths.” If you have special skillsets, we would love to utilize your strengths for projects in related scopes.

For single hosts, we ask for 20-30 service hours/week. For a pair of hosts, we ask for a combined 30-40 service hours/week (Wednesday-Sunday with Monday/Tuesday off). We ask for campground and cabin maintenance (2-3 hours) to be completed between 11am and 3pm. We would like hosts to be available from 6pm-8pm to assist in the sale of firewood and ice. We gladly make accommodations for occasions where hosts would like to go to town for groceries, dinner, etc. We just ask for communication, so all duties can be covered.
