Greet first, rules second. Before you point at signs or start listing check‑out times, start with something simple and human: “Hey! How was the drive?” That one question: - Lowers people’s guard so they feel welcome, not inspected - Makes the “rules talk” feel like guidance from a host, not a lecture from security​ When guests feel seen and cared for, they’re way more likely to respect the guidelines, the campground, and you.​ How do you open a check‑in conversation before you get to the rules?

I love the way the wind from a storm makes the trees sway and the sounds throughout the campground!

Host a Bike Parade & Decorating Party where families bring bikes, scooters, trikes, and wagons to a central decorating station stocked with streamers, balloons, ribbons, glitter, and craft supplies, followed by a gentle parade around the main campground loop with simple safety checks, traffic control, and fun awards like Funniest Ride, Most Colorful, Best Theme, and Family Effort. To boost community connection and photo-worthy moments, this event is easy to run with volunteers and perfect for all ages—would you try this at your park, and what prize category would you add?

You made it! This is your camp‑host home base—practical tips, friendly support, and real‑world tools to make every shift smoother. What you’ll find: quick checklists, guest‑conversation scripts, safety refreshers, and honest Q&A. Kick things off: - Comment with your name, park/state, and your current role (host, aspiring, camper, ranger, owner). - Share one win or one “wish‑I’d‑known.” - Ask one question you want answered this week. Glad you’re here—pull up a chair by the campfire and say hi!

We want to take a moment to say thank you to every camp host who truly takes ownership of their campground. It’s easy to spot the difference—your dedication shines in every detail. From a spotless campsite and inviting amenities, to welcoming guests with genuine hospitality, your thoughtful efforts don’t go unnoticed. You’re the ones who go the extra mile to ensure campers have an unforgettable experience, and it’s your pride in the campground that sets the tone for adventures, memories, and connections. The results are real: - Campers return season after season. - Reviews are filled with praise for the special touches and clean spaces. - And most importantly—your love for the campground spreads, inspiring others to do the same. Thank you for being the heart of our community. With every sunrise and campfire, your ownership continues to make a lasting impact—and we couldn’t be more grateful. Tag a host you appreciate and share how their efforts have made a difference!
