Candy Hill Campground proudly works with "Workampers."
For those of you that are not familiar, "Workampers" are adventuresome individuals and couples who have chosen a wonderful lifestyle that combines ANY kind of part-time or full-time work with RV camping. If you work as an employee, operate a business, or donate your time as a volunteer, AND you sleep in an RV, you are a Workamper!
Candy Hill Campground is the Cleanliest & Friendliest campground. We cater heavily to an overnight transient business. Every night many RV's stop for a nights rest and pull out the next morning to continue their travels. The campground also enjoys hosting a large number of weekend guests mainly coming from Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and DC. As pictured below, the campground also has the ability to host extremely large and unusual RV's. This all combines to make everyday an interesting day at Candy Hill Campground.

The Basic Work Agreement:
Candy Hill
Campground generally hires workampers as couples.
Therefore, the following terms of employment are based on this. Individuals are welcome, just on slightly different terms.
Candy Hill Campground will provide a campsite consisting of a pad for your rig, equipped with water, electric and sewer hookups. A phone hookup is available and service may be arranged with the local Telephone Company. Wireless Internet is also available, and again service may be arranged directly with the provider.
Job responsibilities will be assigned according to the abilities and preferences of each workamper, in conjunction with the needs of the campground. Duties may include some light grounds keeping including mowing, weed- whacking, and planting and tending flowerbeds. Maintenance tasks consist of general electrical and plumbing upkeep and repair. In the winter, plowing snow may be a necessity. Office tasks would include answering the telephone, taking reservations, and handling incoming camper registrations. Occasional cleaning of the bathhouse, rental cabins, club lounge and pavilion are also responsibilities that may be assigned. Candy Hill prides itself on escorting all incoming campers to their sites, so escort service is a possible job assignment. Additionally, workampers may be asked to pump propane, if already certified to do so, or to take the brief course enabling them to become certified. Finally, all workampers assist in greeting guests and providing general customer service.
Each member of the couple is expected to work approximately 35 hours per week April through October and/or approximately 20-25 hours per week from November through March. The first 12 hours of work per week, per person, cover the value of the campsite. Hours worked in excess of 12 hours per person are remunerated at the rate of $7.50 per hour, payment to be made by payroll check within two days following the l5th and the last date of each month. Additionally, any person working April through October will get a bonus of $.50 per paid hour upon completion of the contract. Days off include at least two days per week, which a couple may take separately or together. Additional time off may be arranged by providing seven days advance notice. Overall, hours are quite flexible and may be arranged with Candy Hill’s General Manager, on a weekly basis, according to the needs and desires of the individuals and the Campground. Perks include discounts on store merchandise and on LP gas.
Candy Hill Campground maintains a smoke-free environment in all our buildings. It is important that this NOT pose problems for employees.
Members of workampers’ families are welcome to visit at no charge and to enjoy all facilities of the park. If guests plan to use a site for an RV, workampers may opt to work additional hours to cover the cost of the site, in lieu of their guests paying site fees.
The office is
computerized for Reservations, Check-In and Store Sales
using Campground Manager Software on Dell Computers.
A $100 deposit for your site reservation will be required but it will refunded upon your arrival.
