Workamper FAQs

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.

Yes. To help protect you, your neighbors, and our campground community, we require all workcampers to maintain active automobile and RV insurance on any vehicle that is owned, leased, or regularly operated and kept onsite at Saco River Family Camping.
 
While New Hampshire does not require drivers to carry auto insurance unless they’ve previously been involved in an accident, we do, and for good reason. Living and working in a shared campground environment means you’re part of a close-knit community where an uninsured incident can quickly become a serious hardship for everyone involved. New Hampshire also has a higher-than-average likelihood of encountering uninsured or underinsured drivers on the road, making your own coverage an important financial safeguard. Policies meeting these minimum limits are typically very affordable, so the peace of mind they provide is well worth the cost.
 
Each policy (auto and RV, if applicable) must meet or exceed the following minimum coverage limits:
 
Bodily Injury Liability: $25,000 per person / $50,000 per accident
Property Damage Liability: $15,000 per accident
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage: $25,000 per person / $50,000 per accident
 
These limits exist not just to protect others, but to protect you, ensuring you’re not left personally liable for high out-of-pocket costs following an accident or incident.
Proof of coverage must be provided prior to arrival. Because safety and personal responsibility are core to our culture, failure to maintain the required coverage or provide proof of insurance may result in termination of employment.
