Park Host, Daisy Long Campground (Seasonal)

The Campground Host is a seasonal person who provides services in the management of public campgrounds during the primary camping season (mid-April to mid-September). The Host’s main goal will be to register campers, collect fees, and ensure that each park visitor has an enjoyable experience. Campground Hosts serve as the first source of park information and therefore must be well informed about their area, professional, and able to communicate effectively with the public. The Campground Host is responsible for keeping the park facilities (i.e. cabin, restrooms, fire rings, grounds) clean and supplied and makes sure park rules are being followed. Most violations are caused by misunderstanding and are quite unintentional, and therefore easily handled. Beyond drawing attention to/explaining the park rules, the Host does not serve in any enforcement capacity. The Host reports all direct, intentional violations (along with necessary information such as license plate numbers) to the Hardin County Sheriff's law enforcement personnel to be handled accordingly. 

Schedule: The park host will alternate working every other week, switching over on Wednesday, with the second park host.
