CampHostJobsColorado has a particularly strong mix of public hosts, recreation-district workcampers, nonprofit residents and attraction employers. CPW’s portfolio reaches beyond state campgrounds into hatchery tours, grounds care, gatehouses and visitor centers. Its individual descriptions show why a single statewide benefit claim would be misleading: Arkansas Headwaters sites are dry, while Chatfield has hookups but has closed its 2026/2027 intake. CO01 CO02 CO03 CO04 CO05 Estes Valley Recreation and Park District has announced 2027 work-camper opportunities spanning campgrounds, golf and parks/trails. Larimer County’s program is another substantial local route, with detailed per-person and on-call requirements. CO06 CO07 YMCA of the Rockies, Rocky Mountain Mennonite Camp and Cross Bar X provide three different residential nonprofit options. Jeffco and Nature and Wildlife Discovery Center add useful day-use roles without an accommodation promise. CO11 CO12 CO13 CO14 CO15 Paid public-land work also runs through AL&L and RRMofA, while the Pueblo South KOA has a dated 2027 couple advertisement. The state dossier retains Denver’s older caretaker-agreement evidence as a follow-up lead and separates amusement/heritage attraction recruitment from campground hosting. It does not convert stale salary figures, application portals or visitor camping amenities into current job offers. CO09 CO17 CO18 CO19 CO20 CO21 CO25

- Intake announced: the employer says when the next season or hiring round starts.
- Future intake announced: The organization has announced a future season or hiring round.
- Accepts applications: A standing jobs page or recruiting route. No specific opening is confirmed.

The district explicitly says 2026 is fully staffed and lists 2027 opportunities. Its work-camper program supports Mary’s Lake and East Portal campgrounds, and the application menu also includes golf operations, golf maintenance, and parks/trails. This is a valuable example of an RV-based workforce extending across a recreation district. The host job’s linked Paycor body was not readable, so current pay and weekly hours remain unverified.

The campground’s September 6, 2026 advertisement seeks a housekeeping and maintenance couple for the 2027 season. It describes working matching days and maintaining cabins, grounds and guest areas. Pay is published and an RV site is included as a benefit, but the employee pays electricity. The stated application expiry remains in the future on the research date. A sentence about continuing into winter repeats 2027 inconsistently, so only the clear May–October 2027 term should be promoted until the employer clarifies an extension. CO20

Colorado’s hatchery hosts work at visitor and fish-production facilities rather than running campgrounds. Rifle Falls combines tours, visitor questions, mowing and restroom upkeep; its displayed 2026 May–September season is over. Roaring Judy adds trails, signs and occasional fish-culture assistance, with an undated recurring summer program. Both publish resident arrangements, but their service hours and water/sewage provision differ.
