We are located near Boerne, TX... just 30 minutes from the excitement of historic San Antonio. It is now time to put together our working camper team for the Spring/Summer season or even longer if you so desire.

An office working camper would be using the ASTRA software program to take reservations, check in guest, and doing point of sales for the store. ASTRA is a relative new campground software but if you are the least bit computer savvy, we can train you in it's use. Also, you will generally be the first person our guest meet. So we only want individuals that are happy, like meeting new people, and able to smile while dealing with an occasional grouch.

Our maintenance working campers keep the place looking sharp. Their duties will include grounds keeping, pool maintenance, escorting guest to a site, plumbing repairs, light electrical, and just general upkeep. This working camper must be in good physical health and able to work in the Texas heat and humidity.

An average work schedule per couple would be 2 days a week, 28 hrs. total. You will work on the same days therefore have the same days off. A single working camper will be asked to work 4 days per week, 28 hrs. total. If you choose to apply for these openings, we ask for a 6 month commitment (April-Sept) or longer if you desire.

As compensation, we offer a FHU Site with 30/50 amp electric, $10 per week laundry stipend, use of all facilities and WiFi in most areas of the park.

private farm short term - Burton, TX

We have 60 acres with an 8 acre pond and 5 buildings.   We have an RV hookup and a small cottage I have rented as an air BnB during the antique festival

in Roundtop.  Either could be used for accomodations.  I am going to list all the things that would be attractive to us but I certainly don't expect them to all be in one couple.  That is why this is short term.  I can never get caught up and i can concentrate on one or two of these things and maybe the next people will have other strong points.  I just feel overwhelmed at everything that needs to be cleaned, powersprayed, etc.

There are fallen limbs all over the property.  I have a large rock pile I need moved.  someone who knows their way around a tractor would be nice. Landscaping skills would be nice.

We want an organic garden.  Someone who is good at gardening or aquaponics could help us get set up.  I would like to learn more vegetarian cooking.  

vines need to be cleared off of fences and  leaves blown off the driveway and patio and just getting this place looking good.  Pond management skills would be good. Our fish are overpopulated and starving. I need to get some out.  I just feel overwhelmed with everything that needs to be done yet its not enough for a full time job.  

I'm pretty flexible on how many hours you want to work.  20 hours per week would be good.

I would like to hear what YOU guys are good at.  If you think you have something to offer let me know and also if you just want to trade an RV hookup or housing for 

less hours or if you want to work harder and recieve pay.  If we move forward I need to have referrals and will do a records search.
