Most importantly they are your neighbor while you are here and want to assist you directly or indirectly with whatever situation arises. Campground host’s can relay messages to staff and security as needed. During the season you will find your host setting up events for the kids and “Welcome Socials” for the public and all of our campers on select Saturday’s through out the year.
