Thank you for your interest in employment at Saco River Family Camping. We are currently offering the opportunity to join our team in the beautiful white mountains of North Conway, NH. We are scouting for Workampers from all over the US.

We are excited to be offering this great opportunity to hardworking individuals who posses a multitude of strengths that may fit in many different areas of our campground. With that being said, we do need to be sure you (the Workamper) understand just how important your role with us will be. Being a Workamper is just as it sounds, WORK first and camp second. The roles of the  Workamper are full-time and involves making the camping area and our guests your highest priority of the camping season. This means we require a lot of flexibility with job duties, hours, etc.. . While here the needs of the campground and that of its guests must come first.

We are mainly a transient campground. Meaning, we do not have seasonals  and instead see a large turnover of guests throughout each week.

We have discovered many Workampers are unaware of the demands that a high end, fast paced campground like ours requires. If you’ve Workamped before, we’re probably different.  If you’re anticipating physical labor and loads of hard work then please read on… Each spring starts with a big list of projects and tasks to get us up and running. Everything from cleaning up the property from the winter, to supporting our ever-growing infrastructure, to repairing sites, placing and setting up our rental fleet of trailers to a variety of construction and landscaping projects, the list is long and varied and requires significant effort as we race against the clock to get ready for our guests. We promise, you’ll use all of your skills and hopefully have fun doing it. We often kid, if you ever worried about staying in shape– don’t,  keeping up this place is like a free gym membership 😉.

Saco River Family Camping is located in the heart of North Conway, just walking distance to many popular  stores and a quick drive to many of area attractions. We are one of the most desirable campgrounds in North Conway located on the Saco River. We have over 200 sites and as you will find, we stay full for the majority of our peak season. We regularly have 100 check-ins or more in a single day, and more often than not, people from all over tend to stop in as walk-ins. As such, you can expect to be on your feet many hours per day. We do our best to be sure we are there to greet each and everyone of our incoming guests. Providing the guest with an amazing experience and making it easy to do business with us will be your priority.  When working at Saco River Family Camping, we ask that you understand what you are signing up for before choosing to come on board. You are signing up to join a great team of diverse people and to provide those who wish to visit a home away from home. You will be expected to put the needs of the camping area as your top priority for this entire season. You are expected to be a flexible team player, a problem solver, hard working and a great addition to our small community. You will be setting the bar and we ask that you be ready to work with the entire team and refrain from the kind of behaviors that can detract from the family friendly and positive  atmosphere. We expect you to mentor and welcome those who are newly brought aboard to join our team, just as you would for your own family members. We ask that you be as friendly and accommodating on the last hour of your shift as you were at the start and that you always treat the guests with respect and concern for their needs, even if you do not agree with them.

We make no bones about it, we ask A LOT of our staff, both day commuters and Workampers alike, but we give a lot too. We offer industry leading pay and benefits along with a great work environment. With this said, we hope your interested in being part of our team.

Embracing a culture of warmth and hospitality, you’ll have the autonomy to innovate our operations, build and inspire a dedicated team each season, and enhance our facilities to redefine the camping experience. This role is ideal for mechanically-experienced visionary leaders driven by impactful decisions and operational excellence, this role promises to shape a thriving business and create lasting memories for our guests.

    Workamper FAQs

    Working here is physical. Even in our store you’ll be on your feet for many hours, up and down stairs, walking a lot, carrying heavy things and more.
    The Workamper sites are chosen and assigned by the Campground manager and are scattered throughout the park. This allows us to have a Workamper presence in each section of the campground.
    Your site includes your site, CATV, water, sewer, and wireless internet service. The electric is 110V, 30AMP, and 50 AMP.
    Workampers may live in any size RV or motor home; however, we do not allow Workampers in Pop ups or tents. We do not feel these meet the needs of a long term camper as is required when work camping.
    You are more than welcome to have family visit, but there are stipulations. No one may come and stay for more than a week and you are NEVER permitted to have more than (6) people on your site at any one time. Family members MUST be immediate family meaning children, spouses, parents, or siblings. Any extended family members are asked to book a site of their own. When you have family in town, you are expected to do you job as usual and not “Stop by” your site for frequent visits and conversation.
    Typically, the answer to this question is, “Yes.” However, as stated in on our opening page, the number one priority when scheduling staff is the NEEDS OF THE CAMPGROUND. Therefore, we will try to yield to shift requests when presented, but we cannot and will not guarantee certain days and certain hours. We simply cannot do this and run the campground effectively.
    No, all Workampers are responsible for keeping their site clear of debris and the grass cut and weed whacked. You are permitted to borrow our push mower and weed eater, but they must be returned in the condition in which they were borrowed.
    You are permitted your RV unit, and a shade structure. A patio set or hammock is also allowed. Nothing else is permitted other than the picnic table and fire ring which are provided.
    These are as varied and can include any of the following: construction projects, firepit replacement, grounds keeping, weeding, grass cutting, bathhouse cleaning, pool maintenance, camp hosting, security duty, shuttle driving, reservations clerk, concierge attendant, store clerk, activity staff, kayak/tube/canoe rentals, housekeeping, plumbing, basic electrical, check ins and check outs on rental units, trash pickup, and overall campground maintenance. When and if you complete an application for employment, you will be asked about preferences and special skills. Again, we try to schedule according to preferences, but our staff is asked to do anything needed to keep our guests happy.
    The majority of our Workampers arrive the last weekend of April and typically work through the end of October. However, we have some positions which start as late as June and end as early as September.
