Today, I am speaking with a woman who owns two campgrounds in Connecticut and is looking for Workampers this summer.

Lelah Campo owns Cozy Hills Campground in Bantam, Conn. She and her team also built a second park from scratch nearby called Sky Ridge Trails in Torrington. The two campgrounds are about seven miles apart, and both rely on Workampers as a key part of their success.

She needs Workampers to help with front desk, retail, housekeeping, maintenance and running activities. Cozy Hills even has a full restaurant where a Workamper couple runs the cafe.

Single Workampers usually put in around 30 hours a week while couples are often working closer to 60 hours combined. Lelah works hard to give Workampers two days off in a row and on the same days for both partners.

Most jobs start at $17 an hour and Workampers are paid for all hours worked. A campsite is provided at zero cost and includes a generous electric allowance and free laundry.

If you have ever wondered what it is like to be Workamping in New England in a place with rolling hills, tall pine trees, busy weekends and nonstop family activities, you will enjoy this conversation.

One thing that stood out to me was how intentional Lelah is in matching Workampers to jobs that best fit with their talents and interests.

I also appreciated her straightforward approach to scheduling and expectations. She likes to keep people fresh and avoid burnout and making sure Workampers get two consecutive days off together as a couple.

Her advice about getting too friendly with seasonal guests was an excellent reminder about the need for setting and maintaining boundaries. Workampers certainly don’t want to be put in uncomfortable positions if they need to enforce rules or by getting pressured to do things they aren’t really hired to do.

With a completely free RV site and pay for every hour worked, this is a great opportunity to spend a summer in beautiful New England.

If you want more information about either park or the Workamping opportunities, visit cozyhills.com or skyridgerv.com. People can also email Lelah directly at admin@cozyhills.com.
