Established workplaceAccepts general applications
A standing programme or a past notice shows this place uses these workers. No current opening is confirmed.
What we found: Northgate’s current portfolio identifies Leelanau Pines among its managed independent campgrounds, while the property source places it at Cedar on Lake Leelanau. Northgate’s official recruiting page describes a workcamper model of regular wages, a seasonal-site discount and credit toward the site balance for hours worked. This verifies an employer program and a Michigan operating location without asserting that a local position is presently available. It also shows why “free site” would be an inaccurate shorthand: the actual balance depends on the discount, earned credit and site agreement. Apply through the operator, not only the campground’s guest booking system.
Staffing evidence: Standing programme or repeated hiring at this place. Checked October 9, 2026.
