Seasonal On-Site Campground Host / Manager or Couple (Full job description)
Live and work steps from the beach in Pleasure Point — one of Santa Cruz’s most desirable coastal neighborhoods.
Email to applyAbout the Park
Beach RV Pleasure Point is a small 16-space boutique RV park tucked between a creek and the sand in the Pleasure Point neighborhood of Santa Cruz—and a 9-minute walk to the beach. We cater to a mix of vacationers, weekend getaways, and longer-term seasonal guests in one of the most desirable coastal communities in California.
The Position
We are seeking a reliable individual or couple to serve as the sole on-site Campground Host / Resident Manager responsible for all aspects of park operations. This is a part-time, non-exempt position under California law (resident manager classification) available immediately.
Ideal for a couple or individual with outside income looking for a coastal California basecamp. This is a seasonal position from roughly April - October with a potential for a longer-term position. You must own and live in your own RV on-site. On-site residency is a condition of employment.
This is an independent role with real agency — you are the face of the park and the primary point of contact for all guests. This role requires someone who already knows how to manage a property, handle guests, and maintain high standards without extensive hand-holding. Ownership lives next door and is hands-on during onboarding, then increasingly in the background as you get comfortable.
We are a small pride-of-ownership park in a fantastic location, but with few of the usual amenities—so we have high standards for guest experience and the daily appearance and cleanliness of the park. You should too — be the kind of person who notices the weeds in the walkway and mildew in the bathhouse before being told, and takes pride in keeping the place looking great. If that comes naturally to your personality, you’ll thrive here.
