Housekeeper Job Description

2026 Summer Season | Keep the Camp Sparkling and Ready for Adventure!

Why You'll Love Working Here

You're the reason guests walk in and say, "Wow, this place is spotless!" Every day you'll make sure cabins, restrooms, and shared spaces shine - from scrubbing and sweeping to restocking and refreshing everything that makes camp life comfortable.

No need to be a cleaning pro right away - we'll teach you the ropes. All you need is a positive attitude, an eye for detail, and pride in creating spaces guests can relax in after a day of adventure.

If you love staying active, keeping things organized, and making people's getaways unforgettable, this is your spot.

Your Daily Adventure Includes:

Cabin Care Magic

• Clean, sanitize, and restock cabins/lodges, so they're guest-ready
• Make beds so comfy guests will want to dive right in
• Sweep, mop, dust, and keep every corner shining

Restroom Ranger

• Keep bathrooms and showers sparkling, stocked, and guest-approved
• Wipe down sinks, mirrors, stalls - the whole works
• Keep supplies full (soap, TP, paper towels, the essentials!)

Common Area Champion

• Tidy up laundry room, Camping Kitchen, and other shared spaces
• Empty trash, replace liners, and keep things fresh
• Notice the little details - a smudge, a spill, a crooked rug - and fix them fast

Guest Service Extras

• Smile, wave, and help campers when they have questions
• Be the friendly face that makes guests feel right at home
• Team up with coworkers to keep camp running smooth

This Job's for You If You...

• Like staying active and don't mind a good workout while you work
• Are upbeat, helpful, and pay attention to the little things
• Can handle weekends & holidays - our busiest (and most fun) times
• Have a great work ethic, show up on time, and get things done
• Can work independently but also enjoy teaming up when needed
• Keep a positive attitude even when the day gets busy

What You'll Need to Handle:

• Delivering top-notch guest service by being friendly and approachable
• Promoting the KOA spirit - making sure guests feel welcome and cared for
• Managing and maintaining cleanliness standards to meet guest needs (and ace that Quality Review!)
• Lifting up to 50 lbs (linens, supplies, etc.)
• Bending, climbing, crouching, standing for long periods
• Working in all kinds of weather - sometimes housekeeping goes outside, too

Bonus Points If You:

• Have experience cleaning, housekeeping, or hospitality
• Know your way around cleaning supplies and tools
• Can spot dirt from a mile away
• Are tech-comfy (radios, phone, apps, etc.)
• Can make a guest smile just by being friendly

What You Get:

• A crew that works hard, jokes harder, and still gets stuff done
• Days so busy you'll forget what time it is
• Memories, weird tan lines, and that satisfying "I crushed it" feeling
• Free laundry - because you'll probably get a little soapy
• A free campsite - your own cozy home base with killer views
• And the ultimate brag: "Yep, I kept this campground shining."
