Job Description
Seeking Camp Hosts at beautiful campground! Jim Creek Military Campground is currently looking for camp host(s) for this summer and this coming winter! Jim Creek is located just outside of Arlington, WA. As the camp host you would live onsite in your RV/Camper. We provide a full hook up 40ft RV site at no cost to you. Also includes access to our laundry facility, small gym, and access to our hiking trails and trout stocked lakes.
You would work 3 days and then have 3 days off. Sharing the overall responsibilities with the other camp host pair. The days you work consistently rotate so you are not always working weekends. Your responsibilities would be to clean and care for our 23 campsites and 12 RV sites. This includes cleaning the fire pit, leaf blowing the RV pads, raking, weed whacking and mowing. Your responsibilities also include driving around the campground to make sure everyone is being safe, following the rules and adhering to quiet time and assisting the front office with various small tasks. Once our small gift shop and front office closes for the day, you are responsible for helping guests with any issues or questions they may have after hours. This position is considered physically demanding for some. You must be able to lift 30lbs and wear a backpack style leaf blower. Frequent bending down and getting in and out of a small truck is required. You must be comfortable driving around after dark. Military affiliation is not required but a background check will be performed.
We are located in the foothills of the Cascades so cell phone service is not something that comes very easily. Almost all carriers struggle with picking up a signal. The nearest cell signal is about 10-15 minutes away. There is WiFi available in the Recreation Building. Some have success with Starlink.
