FEATURED JOB OPENING: Hite Adventure Outpost Campground and General Store Couple - Lake Powell, UT

Wer'e seeking an adventurous, able couple to work a remote location, Hite Adventure Outpost, located in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, on remote North Lake Powell, Utah. It is a remote, rugged and beautiful setting ideal for an "outdoors" couple that enjoy fishing, boating, hiking, canyoneering, exploring, off-roading or any number of other activities associated with water and land. Your "backyard" is millions of acres of open land. 

Hite Adventure Outpost general store/grounds/cleaning and light maintenance couple. Job begins mid to end of April and lasts through mid October. Hite consists of a small general store, an RV campground and addtional RV and primitive campgrounds arranged through out the property with a "comfort" station consisting of a shower house. 

 The couple hired will work a 5 day work week (same days off, but at times different hours from each other during the day/evening), compensated at $10-$11 per hour with any hours over 40 in the pay week paid at 1.5 times the rate via “overtime”. The duties include helping in the general store stocking and running the register, outside work that consists of grounds keeping, trash disposal, restroom and fish cleaning station cleaning, RV rental units cleaning and related duties that include cleaning, light maintenance, and physical outdoor work in a hot environment. Guest service in the campgrounds and store is also required.

The ideal couple is “hardy” and  able to work and live in a very remote location with skills in light maintenance, cash register/POS operation, cash handling, customer service and have the ability to work outside doing physical work in a hot, dusty environment for hours at a time. The job is much more complex and physical than a typical “campground host” position.

About Us: Ticaboo Mgmt operates lodging/hospitality, retail, food and beverage, marine services, boat/ATV rentals, guided adventure services and tours in Ticaboo, Offshore Marina (2 miles south of Ticaboo) and Hite Adventure Outpost (50 miles from Ticaboo off of Hwy 95).

We are located on the very remote Northern end of Lake Powell, in Southern Utah. We are “off the grid’ and generate our own power and water, so the pandemic that has affected much of the world, has largely no affected our way of life. We are located on millions of acres of open land that support most every type of outdoor interest and we’re located 10 miles north of bullfrog Marina at Lake Powell, that supports most every water and fishing sport interest. 

Our nearest “town of size” is either Moab Utah, Blanding Utah or Grand Junction Colorado which are all approximately a 3 hour drive. 

Our environment:  We are located on the Colorado Plateau in the high desert where its hot and dry and summertime temps can reach triple digits during the day, and 50s at night. Most jobs and roles are physically demanding due to the living and working environment. There are very few trees and it does not rain often and there are dust storms. The beauty of where we sit is amazing and we call it “The National Park views, and life without the crowds”, as much of what we have and can go out and play in is undiscovered. 

Our ideal employee based on successful current employees:  Our remote location is the number one factor in determining success or failure working and living here. Successful employees have “healthy outdoor interests and habits” and enjoy being remote and isolated.  They are self-starters and self-directors and self-sufficient who realize their success or failure at work and at living here is largely in their control, not that of the employer. Cell phone signals are intermittent, and there is no “night life” or “social scene” and one or both must enjoy solitude as those of us who have lived here for years do. Having a healthy attitude and lifestyle when it comes to your mental and physical health is also key. 

For couples, it is important both person’s share the same emotional and physical “wants and needs” of remote living and working. Successful couples have typically been well grounded, healthy and share the same interests as true “partners and friends” in life and adventures and activities. Those couples that were not successful typically came down to one half of the couple being unhappy strictly due to the location and influenced the other. It is very important you truly like each other and have a strong/healthy relationship. 

Hite Housing:  We offer a RV site space with water, power and sewer at no charge, or a duplex 2-bedroom housing unit for a utility free of $250 per month. Internet is not included and would be the responsibility of the employee to set up and pay separately.
