In Episode 336, Jes Santaularia talks about jobs at Elkhorn Creek RV Park in Frankfurt, Ky.

Today I will be speaking with the owner of  Kentucky RV park who is looking for Workampers in 2026. The level of perks offered by the park make it an exceptional opportunity.

Jes Santaularia is the owner of Elkhorn Creek RV Park in Frankfort, Ky. It is located right in the heart of the state’s famous Bourbon Trail and surrounded by scenic horse country.

Jes shares how his team creates an inviting atmosphere for both guests and Workampers, blending hospitality with meaningful work.

Elkhorn Creek is a 130-site campground with plans to expand, and Jes is always on the lookout for friendly, hardworking Workampers to join his staff.

Whether you’re greeting guests as an ambassador, helping with maintenance, or simply sharing your love of the region, there’s a role for nearly every skill set.

With a pay structure that includes hourly wages, free hookups, and even a profit-sharing program, Elkhorn Creek offers more than just a place to park your rig for a season. It’s an opportunity to become part of a thoughtful, people-focused community.

At Elkhorn Creek RV Park, Workampers fill a variety of roles that are both essential and rewarding.

On the maintenance side, there’s always grass to mow and grounds to maintain.

For those who love interacting with people, Jes has created a unique ambassador program.

These ambassadors greet guests upon arrival, escort them to their sites, and provide an orientation that covers everything from laundry locations and activities to emergency procedures.

They also share insider tips about the area’s best attractions, like local distilleries, horse farms, and historic downtown Frankfort.

Jes encourages his Workampers to experience the region for themselves on their days off. He even reimburses them for local activities so they can speak knowledgeably with guests about what to see and do in the area.

Most positions require 30 hours of work per week. While Jes prefers couples, he is open to singles and even families with teenagers.

Compensation includes a full-hookup RV site with all utilities, propane and hourly wages ranging from $15 to $20, depending on experience.

Long-term Workampers may also qualify for a profit-sharing program, which is something you don’t see every day in Workamper positions.

If you’re interested in joining the team, Jes starts recruiting in the fall for the upcoming season, which typically runs from April through October. Year-round positions are also available for the right couples.

You can learn more and submit your application by visiting www.elkhorncreekrvpark.com and using the contact form on the website.

Today’s episode was sponsored by Workamper News. Creating a resume can be a cumbersome, intimidating task – especially if you haven’t written a resume in many years.

The unique Workamper News Resume Builder takes you through a step-by-step process to build a complete resume with all the information Workamper employers are looking for when reviewing applications.

Once complete, your resume can be emailed to anyone, and the software tracks when and who you have sent it to.  You can print out the resume or make it into a PDF which can then be uploaded or emailed.

Some employers NEVER ADVERTISE – not via Workamper.com or anywhere else. They find all of their applicants just by searching the Workamper News resume database.  If you don’t have a resume in the Workamper.com database, you will be missing out on some opportunities.

That’s all for this week’s show. Next time I will be speaking with a woman from California who is looking for Workampers to help with a Napa Valley RV park which opened at the local fairgrounds.

I’ll have more details on the next episode of The Workamper Show. Thanks for listening and if you like these interviews, please consider leaving a review wherever you download the episodes.
