Employers and host programs in Utah

KCN Enterprises

Richfield and Vernal KOA work-camper recruitment · Richfield / Vernal

Guest services · Housekeeping · Maintenance and grounds

Rechecked Oct 10, 2026: Vernal KOA posting not checked (page limit); index page not opened.

KCN’s live employer list names 2027 work-camper positions in guest services, housekeeping and maintenance at both Richfield and Vernal. The individual Richfield guest-services advertisement was readable and offers registration, reservations, store sales, cash handling and occasional support to other departments. It publishes an hourly wage and RV benefits. Those figures apply to that specific job, not automatically to Vernal or other departments. Applications are exposed on the employer’s own tracking system, making this one of Utah’s strongest verified next-season employer routes. UT11 UT12

• Pay: Richfield 2027 guest services: $12–13/hour; 25% store discount.
• Housing or RV: That job lists a full-hookup RV site, utilities included and free laundry; verify any charge and occupancy agreement.
• Hours and duties: Full time; nights, weekends and holidays required as scheduled.
• Season or dates: 2027 roles listed; exact start/end dates and deadline not specified.
• Who can apply: Richfield role requires computer/cash-register skills, fluent spoken/heard English and specified lifting/standing capacity.
• How to apply: https://kcncampgrounds.isolvedhire.com/iframe/800/1832166.html — apply to the specific Richfield role; use employer list for Vernal.
• Still to confirm: Confirm dates, household arrangements and whether all scheduled hours are paid under the specific offer.

Utah State Parks

Echo State Park: Red Rock Marina resident volunteer · Echo / Summit County

Resident volunteer · Ranger-station assistant · Gate attendant · Grounds assistant

Echo publishes a more specific arrangement than the statewide overview: resident volunteers assist at the ranger station with visitor service, phones and cash handling. The required volunteer service earns a resident campsite; additional gate or station shifts may be paid, but are expressly not guaranteed. Duo applicants may also assist with grounds and maintenance. The page is undated, so its “currently accepting” language is retained as standing recruitment. The original Jordanelle link redirected to Echo; this offer must be catalogued under Echo. UT03

• Pay: Required volunteer hours unpaid; optional additional shifts $13.43–15/hour, depending on experience.
• Housing or RV: Resident campsite at Red Rock Marina; hookup specification not stated in this offer.
• Hours and duties: Minimum 24 volunteer hours/week; confirm whether this is per applicant or household.
• Season or dates: Undated. The separate generic camp-host section mentions four months; confirm which term applies.
• Who can apply: Background check, basic computer use and cash handling.
• How to apply: https://stateparks.utah.gov/parks/echo/volunteer/ — contact Echo management.
• Still to confirm: Confirm the resident placement dates, household hour calculation and optional paid-shift agreement.

Zion Ponderosa Ranch Resort

Hospitality, recreation and facility operations · Orderville / east Zion

Front desk · Housekeeping · Grounds and maintenance · Recreation staff

Zion Ponderosa accepts applications throughout the year for guest service, recreation, grounds, maintenance and housekeeping. It therefore belongs in a broader work-camper employer directory even when a specific camp-host title is absent. The employer publishes on-site housing at a daily charge and a wage floor, but its current-positions section did not expose dated openings. Treat the page as a recruitment route and ask for a department-specific offer. The resort’s guest RV accommodation page does not establish an employee RV benefit. UT07

• Pay: Page states wages starting no lower than $12+/hour by department, plus gratuities/bonuses where applicable; reconfirm current offer.
• Housing or RV: On-site housing advertised at $5/day; no employee RV allocation verified.
• Hours and duties: Department-specific; not stated.
• Season or dates: Applications accepted year-round; dates depend on role.
• Who can apply: Employer publishes drug-testing and no drugs/alcohol on-property policy.
• How to apply: https://www.zionponderosa.com/employment — enquire about the current application mechanism and department.
• Still to confirm: Obtain the current wage, housing type, deductions and season for the chosen maintenance or guest-service role.

Ruby's Inn, Inc.

Campground, lodging, retail and activity operations · Bryce Canyon City

Campground clerk · Campground maintenance · Front desk · Housekeeping · Groundskeeper

Ruby’s is a substantial resort employer whose published departments include campground clerks and maintenance, front desk, housekeeping, grounds, stores, ATV tours and horseback operations. Its recruitment page is specifically for the 2026 summer season and accepts half-season availability. A separate benefits page confirms employee RV spaces for a rental fee, rather than a free work-exchange site. In October, use this as a standing employer channel and ask about remaining 2026 needs or the next intake; the season description alone does not confirm an unfilled job. UT09 UT10

• Pay: Competitive wage unspecified; conditional year-end bonus and employee discounts.
• Housing or RV: Employee full-hookup RV spaces with utilities and connectivity; unspecified rental fee. Supply exact rig length.
• Hours and duties: Department-specific; flexible scheduling advertised.
• Season or dates: 2026: late March–late October; April–July or July–October half seasons.
• How to apply: https://www.rubysinn.com/employment/ — Paycom Online Application Form; HR enquiry by phone.
• Still to confirm: Request the next season’s campground roles, hourly rates and total employee RV rent.

Lagoon Corporation

Amusement park seasonal employment · Farmington

Attraction operations · Guest services · Seasonal facility staff

Lagoon supplies a concrete amusement-park employment channel with its own seasonal application process, employee-services office and linked Paylocity system. It is relevant for applicants who want visitor-facing seasonal work outside campground management. The public page still says “2024 Season,” despite its active general application links, and the retrieved tracking page did not expose useful role details. It is therefore a standing recruitment lead, not evidence of a specific October 2026 opening. Guest camping is advertised separately and is not an employee housing promise. UT18 UT19

• Pay: Wages unspecified; park admission and merchandise/family benefits advertised.
• Housing or RV: No employee housing or RV benefit verified.
• Season or dates: Seasonal page contains stale 2024 wording; verify next intake.
• Who can apply: General application age minimum 14; role-specific restrictions apply.
• How to apply: https://www.lagoonpark.com/jobs/seasonal-jobs/ — official Apply Now / Paylocity link.
• Still to confirm: Ask for current adult guest-service, grounds and campground-related roles and any separate employee camping policy.

YMCA of Northern Utah

Camp Roger and YMCA Mill Hollow facility support · Uinta Mountains

Camp caretaker · Maintenance assistant · Kitchen assistant

The YMCA’s camp employment page includes facility support alongside counsellors and program staff. Its pay table calls the facilities role “Camp Caretaker,” while the openings and duties use “Maintenance Assistant”; the work includes repairing camp structures and fixtures and helping keep kitchen areas clean. The employer states that camp positions include room, board and weekly salary. The page is undated, so listed staff counts are not treated as current vacancies. This is a resident youth-camp employment lead, with its own staffing and suitability requirements. UT21

• Pay: Published facility-support base $415/week; eligible bonuses vary.
• Housing or RV: Room and board included; RV accommodation not stated.
• Hours and duties: Summer camp environment; page warns work can exceed 40 hours/week with irregular hours.
• Season or dates: Summer, generally June–early August; year unspecified.
• Who can apply: Published entry rules: 18 with one college year or age 19+, First Aid/CPR capability, health documentation and youth-work suitability.
• How to apply: https://ymcautah.org/workatcamp/ — Apply Here and select Camp Roger or Mill Hollow.
• Still to confirm: Confirm whether the caretaker/maintenance position is being recruited for the next summer and obtain its exact schedule.

Heber Valley Historic Railroad Authority

Heritage railway employment and seasonal visitor experience · Heber City

Seasonal event helper · Heritage attraction staff · Track maintenance specialist

This public authority provides a heritage-attraction employment route distinct from park hosting. Its general application page includes a specialist permanent track-inspector role, while a separate North Pole Express page confirms 2026 seasonal helper recruitment. The latter interviews occurred October 6–7, before the research date, so it is a historical intake rather than an open call. Track inspection requires relevant railway experience and must not be presented as an entry-level host job. Use the authority’s application contact to identify future visitor-service or operational needs. UT22 UT23 UT24

• Pay: Track-inspector page mentions full benefits; wage and seasonal helper compensation not stated.
• Housing or RV: No accommodation offered in checked pages.
• Hours and duties: Track inspector permanent full time; event schedule separate.
• Season or dates: 2026 event interviews October 6–7, now passed; general specialist role undated.
• Who can apply: Track inspector requires relevant experience, diploma/GED and driving licence. Event application ages 13+.
• How to apply: https://hebervalleyrr.org/careers/ — download application and return to official hiring contact.
• Still to confirm: Ask whether late event applications are accepted and identify future non-specialist attraction roles.

American Land & Leisure

Ashley / Flaming Gorge and Dixie campground operations · Northeastern and southern Utah

Campground host · Maintenance · Campground management

The operator identifies Utah recreation facilities in Ashley National Forest/Flaming Gorge and Dixie National Forest, with districts and campground-area links. Its employment page explicitly recruits camp hosts, maintenance workers and managers, and gives a hiring contact. This is a direct private-employer route for public-land facilities, rather than a federal volunteer application. Online campsite availability on the operator’s Utah page concerns visitor reservations and must not be mistaken for job availability. Obtain the location and current operating assignment from the employer before listing a specific host opening. UT27 UT28

• Pay: Role-specific; no Utah wage verified.
• Housing or RV: No assignment-specific RV terms verified.
• Season or dates: Seasonal and year-round roles described generally; Utah dates depend on facility.
• How to apply: https://www.americanll.com/employment — follow Job Openings or contact recruitment.
• Still to confirm: Request Utah host and maintenance openings with exact campground, dates, hourly pay and utilities.

Utah State Parks

Campground and museum hosts; visitor-center and maintenance volunteering · Statewide

Campground host · Museum host · Visitor-center volunteer · Maintenance volunteer

Utah explicitly includes museum hosts in its host program, making its historic and interpretive properties as relevant as reservoir campgrounds. Hosts welcome visitors, provide information, collect fees and help clean or maintain facilities. The statewide page describes full hookups at most participating parks, but each park controls its available months and placement. Separate volunteering guidance also includes docents and trail work. This is a standing application channel, with no implication that every park currently has a free host site. UT01 UT02

• Pay: Volunteer service; no statewide cash wage stated.
• Housing or RV: Most participating parks offer full hookups; verify the assigned park and site.
• Hours and duties: Host overview says 25 or more volunteer hours weekly.
• Season or dates: Park-specific months; standing program.
• Who can apply: Successful background check required.
• How to apply: https://stateparks.utah.gov/volunteer/ — contact the chosen park and complete its volunteer application.
• Still to confirm: Request separate campground, museum and visitor-center placement lists for the next season.

Bears Ears Partnership

Bears Ears Education Center host and long-term stewardship volunteer · Bluff / San Juan County

Education-center host · Visitor information · Public-land stewardship

This nonprofit offers a resident alternative to campground hosting. Education-center hosts answer visitor questions, use maps and an iPad, handle cash and support respectful visitation. A broader stewardship option combines center work with archaeological-site visits and public-land monitoring. Both require a meaningful commitment; the field option needs greater physical independence and transport. The RV benefit is explicit, while alternative housing is unavailable for the long-term program. The public page hides the manager email, so use its contact link rather than guessing an address. UT06

• Pay: Unpaid; broader stewardship program states work-mileage reimbursement of $0.14/mile.
• Housing or RV: Full-hookup RV site and utilities; broader program also specifies Wi-Fi. Own RV/trailer required.
• Hours and duties: 32 hours/week; at least one month. Desk shifts 4–8 hours.
• Season or dates: Desk hosting March–November; standing undated program.
• Who can apply: Support mission; communication and independent working skills. Field option requires own vehicle, preferably high clearance.
• How to apply: https://bearsearspartnership.org/get-involved/volunteer — follow the Education Center manager or Contact link.
• Still to confirm: Check the next available month and whether the placement is desk-only or combined field stewardship.

National Park Service

Zion volunteer program; Watchman 2027 verification lead · Springdale / Zion National Park

Campground host · Visitor-center volunteer · Backcountry patrol · Vegetation volunteer

Zion’s January 2026 volunteer page confirms campground operations alongside visitor-center service, backcountry patrol and invasive-plant work. Applicants can use Volunteer.gov or the park’s volunteer application and specify their preferred position. An official indexed Watchman Campground 2027 title was found, but its detail could not be opened; no current job terms are inferred from older Watchman ads. The program is also relevant to local day volunteers. Housing, work hours and assignment availability must be resolved with the park coordinator for the particular role. UT16 UT17

• Housing or RV: No assignment-specific housing or RV terms verified.
• Season or dates: Standing park program; indexed Watchman 2027 lead requires confirmation.
• Who can apply: Park directs international volunteers to NPS International Affairs and notes limited housing; do not infer eligibility from domestic volunteering.
• How to apply: https://www.nps.gov/zion/getinvolved/volunteer.htm — park application or linked federal opportunities.
• Still to confirm: Request the readable 2027 Watchman description and other resident visitor-service assignments.

Thanksgiving Point Institute

Ashton Gardens, museums, Butterfly Biosphere and events · Lehi

Venue facilitator · Garden volunteer · Education volunteer · Event host · Collections support

Thanksgiving Point offers several practical day-use hosting routes: volunteers facilitate guest experiences, assist education and field trips, work in Ashton Gardens or the Butterfly Biosphere, and support collections. Its Luminaria event provides another seasonal visitor-service channel. These are facility-based nonprofit roles with applications through the organization’s volunteer system, rather than an assumed campground program. The page describes admission, discounts and activities as volunteer benefits; no residential accommodation is offered in the checked material. This lead suits locally based applicants or travellers arranging their own stay. UT20

• Pay: Unpaid; admission, discounts and selected activities.
• Housing or RV: No housing or RV provision stated.
• Hours and duties: Role-specific; minimum hours not stated on overview.
• Season or dates: Standing program and separate event intakes.
• How to apply: https://thanksgivingpoint.org/volunteer/ — select gardening, education, venue facilitation or event application.
• Still to confirm: Confirm the next event or recurring guest-facilitation schedule and minimum commitment.

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge volunteering and visitor services · Brigham City / Great Salt Lake wetlands

Refuge volunteer · Visitor services · Conservation support

Bear River’s official involvement page directs volunteers to station opportunities on Volunteer.gov and also identifies a Friends group. It separately describes visitor-services and biological internships through American Conservation Experience; those placements should not be combined with ordinary volunteer hosting or assumed to share benefits. The source establishes a northern Utah wildlife-facility channel, but it does not verify an RV host vacancy, residential site or hours requirement. List the refuge as a standing program for visitor and conservation support, with residential suitability still to be checked. UT29

• Housing or RV: No RV or resident accommodation established.
• Season or dates: Standing program; individual assignment dates unverified.
• How to apply: https://www.fws.gov/refuge/bear-river-migratory-bird/get-involved — station Volunteer.gov link or refuge enquiry.
• Still to confirm: Ask specifically about seasonal visitor-center volunteers and any designated resident volunteer arrangement.

Weber County Parks and Recreation

Weber Memorial Park host and local park operations · Huntsville / Ogden Valley

Campground host · Fee collection · Park operations

The county explicitly identifies an on-site camp host at Weber Memorial and tells campers to pay individual-site fees to that host. Its camping and historic lodge/event facilities demonstrate a real local operating channel beyond state and federal parks. However, the public visitor page does not say whether the host is paid, a volunteer or a contractor, and it provides no recruitment notice. The central parks office is the verified enquiry route and also administers other county parks and shooting facilities. UT04 UT05

• Housing or RV: On-site host presence confirmed; employee accommodation and utilities not specified.
• Hours and duties: Fee collection confirmed; full job description not retrieved.
• Season or dates: Park normally operates first weekend of May to early October, weather permitting; not a hiring term.
• How to apply: https://www.wcparksrec.com/contact — ask parks administration how host positions are recruited.
• Still to confirm: Obtain the county host classification and next recruitment notice, including North Fork and Fort Buenaventura coverage.

Aramark Destinations

Lake Powell Resorts and Marinas: Bullfrog and Halls Crossing · Lake Powell / southeastern Utah

Marina operations · Boat rentals · Retail · Maintenance · Resort guest services

Aramark’s official material identifies a broad North Lake operation at Bullfrog and Halls Crossing covering marinas, boat rentals, repair, fuel docks, lodging and stores. Its Lake Powell careers page indexed Bullfrog jobs and subsidized shared accommodation, but full retrieval failed and a specific retail job could not be read. This establishes the operator and recruitment channel without validating an individual vacancy or housing price. Keep Utah’s Bullfrog/Halls Crossing facilities distinct from Arizona’s Wahweap in the directory and verify the worksite on each application. UT25 UT26

• Housing or RV: Official indexed careers overview mentions subsidized shared housing; cost, availability and RV option unverified.
• Season or dates: Role-specific; no live individual vacancy verified.
• How to apply: https://careers.aramarkdestinations.com/parks/lake-powell/ — search Bullfrog or Halls Crossing on Aramark careers.
• Still to confirm: Retrieve a current Utah role and its accommodation deductions before adding pay or a vacancy date.

JET Hospitality

Escalante Grand Resort work camper · Escalante

Groundskeeper · Bathhouse housekeeping · Work camper

The employer’s January 16, 2026 advertisement describes part-time groundskeeping and light bathhouse cleaning with no hourly cash pay. Workload varies with occupancy. This is a useful named private operator lead, but the commercial terms are internally inconsistent: the heading offers a site trade, the benefits describe discounted rent, and another sentence refers to a free stay. Those differences prevent a reliable net-cost comparison. Record the 2026 advertisement as evidence of recruitment and obtain a written work-and-site agreement before publishing it as available. UT08

• Pay: No hourly pay; site work trade. Remaining rent, if any, unresolved.
• Housing or RV: Full hookups including water, electricity and sewer; free versus discounted rate conflicts within the ad.
• Hours and duties: Part-time, occupancy-dependent grounds and bathhouse tasks; exact hours absent.
• Season or dates: Posted January 16, 2026; no end date or renewed vacancy confirmation.
• Who can apply: Own RV/camper.
• How to apply: https://jethospitality.com/job/work-camper-escalante-grand-resort/ — official Apply for This Position link.
• Still to confirm: Resolve the exact weekly hours, rent balance and utility charges before treating this as an active offer.

Bureau of Land Management

Paria Contact Station and Moab fall campground hosts · Kanab / Moab

Contact-station site host · Campground host

BLM’s agency list identifies Paria Contact Station under Kanab Field Office and a separate Moab fall camp-host intake with 2026 service windows. These are meaningful desert and visitor-station leads extending beyond national-park campgrounds. However, both Volunteer.gov details rendered only a CSS error. Consequently, the listing titles and agency dates are verified, while remaining positions, minimum term, workload, RV services and reimbursements are not. The service windows overlap the research date, but that does not prove a late-season vacancy remains. UT13 UT14 UT15

• Season or dates: Paria April 25–November 15, 2026; Moab August 31–December 1, 2026.
• How to apply: https://www.blm.gov/get-involved/volunteers/volunteer-opportunities/positions — follow Utah entries or contact the listed field office.
• Still to confirm: Obtain readable role descriptions and establish whether replacements or the next season are being recruited.
