Campground Ambassador Questions

I looked into being an Ambassador many years ago. I’m pretty sure you still have to apply for an ambassador. Each is different and requirements are different. They do a background check. What kind of rv. Availability. Location interests. I know some locales are highly competitive. I think now you can apply at their respective websites.
I met a lot of ambassadors and all have been great people.
Good luck. I know you will enjoy it.

Years ago, my parents (now both deceased) worked as volunteers one summer in Badlands National Park in SD. My mom worked in the visitors center and my dad worked at what he described as a “wildlife outpost.” They loved it. No pay, but they got free hookups for their RV. Go to the Badlands website for volunteer opportunities.

My parents do something similar, like a work-exchange program. They visit the Florida state parks and stay at each one for a month at a time when they go. The “work”cleaning up campsites and bathrooms for a few hours each week in exchange for a free spot. They’ve been in Florida for the past two and a half months doing this and have done a few states out west as well.

I don't know if it's the same thing, but my parents looked into being Hosts, including ACE campsites. They've befriended a few and basically, it's a giant pain in the arse since COVID/work from home. The Hosts have to deal with non stop complaints and many people these days use the campsites as their primary residence (homeless). It has brought out the trashy and druggies to campgrounds.

What my parents have noticed, is that many of the Hosts from 5 years ago, now no longer Host. However they now run some kind of mobile RV repair business and there is enough market to work as much or as little as they want.

Being a police officer I will say that people never fail to suprise me.

Always a small percentage that ruin everything for those of us whom try to do the right thing and take care of those around us.
