Welcome to Motorhomefacts, we are a thriving motorhome community (Largest in Europe). Why Not JOIN NOW and get instant access to more of the website. It costs nothing to join and only takes a few minutes. We have 200,000 different people visiting our site monthly and this amount of motorhomers in one place guarantees a fast response to any questions you may have. We also have unique facilities not found elsewhere such as our Online Logbook, stopover tracker, Motorhome directory with Ebay type feedback and the largest repository of motorhome campsites reviews found anywhere
We have been site staff for 4 years and there are good and bad jobs.
Bascially you can expect basic salary, free pitch, c/w elect as a minimum. You may get a service pitch if you are really lucky.
Usually its a 40 hr week over 6 days but make sure you have the same day off.
What normally gets you is the standby, which normally is unpaid. This is at night and covers emergencies, but in reality it means that everything that goes on you have to deal with. Most fridays expect to work til closing.
Jobs will often be on a two shift system include opening at 7am and closing at 23:00. Duties can include pitching, toilet cleaning, taking bookings, shop work, ground work, and just about anything else e.g. lost children, dogs off leads, drunken campers....
It OK as long as you do not let the job get to you.
Three main web sites contain the jobs
UKcampsites, caravan-jobfinder, www.bhhpa.org.uk/
Any questions feel free.
Thankyou for the tips and advice AndrewandShirley
Never even thought to ask about being on call and to find out it can be unpaided work ( just the stuff we need to know ) .
Congratulations on the job.........we too are site wardens ( or site warders...as my daughter refers to us )
As Andrew & Shirley have already said., if you keep a sense of humour , you may find that you actually enjoy yourselves, while giving good service to the people who are having a holiday !!
We love our job...this will be the 4th season at the same site for us.
All the best.....
Jenny

Hi Jenny
I’m sure we will have fun ( I hope lol)
We started on Monday and we are both shattered , we are just trying to get to know the site and the job at the moment.
We have 20 new staff starting on Monday and we are in charge of them so its sink or swim lol
But Im sure we will have a laugh and the best of all we will be able to travel in the winter.
First of all if your thinking about campsite work don’t get a pitch anywhere near the campers as you will never be off duty you will get a knock on the door from people complaining about the rain , fireworks that are 1 mile away and they were woke up by the loud bangs , dogs barking ,puddles of water , and not forgetting the seagull crap on there vans and cars omg the list goes on and on.
We told the owners that we could no longer put up with it and they are going to build us a new hard standing pitch out of the way to be honest they could not do enough to help us.
Also just wanted to say thx again for all the help and advice we got on this thread and pms from the members.
