Workampers Welcome

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:

Big RigCandy Hill Campground generally hires workampers both as couples or as individuals and each on slightly different terms.

Generally, Candy Hill Campground will provide a campsite consisting of a pad for your rig, equipped with water, electric and sewer hookups.  Wireless Internet is also available, and 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.  Occasional cleaning of the bathhouse, rental cabins, club lounge and pavilion are also responsibilities that may be assigned.  Security may be assigned as the job of a workamper, this is generally after they have mastered escort and site familiarization.  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.
