We make a family affair🤍

Meet Evil & Camp Host Knievel.

Started last month.
It’s been an awesome gig!
This is our first site , so we don’t have past experience for comparison.

I’D 🤍 TO HEAR HOW WORKCAMPING LIFE LOOKS FOR YOU!!
👇Let us know in the comments👇

Here’s a typical work day for us…

⏰9:00am Trash Round Up
(Lots of chatting & dog petting happens during this time.)

⏰10:00am Laundry Room 👀
(Nothing exciting ever happens here.)

⏰10:15am Bathhouse Scrubdown
(You can tell a lot about a person by how they treat a bathroom…🤨
)

⏰11:00am Last Call
(One more trash bag Easter egg hunt around the campground)

⏰11:15 Raid the Supply Closet
(More gabbing ensues! We like chatting. Lol)

⏰11:30 CLOCK OUT
(Buh Bye!)

We’re 1 of 2 CampHost families @ this campground.
Our shifts run Thursday -> Wednesday.
Alternating weeks.

When needed, I identify as the “office lady” answering phones…booking reservations & of course more chatting.

Camp Hosting is a volunteer position.
Your time -in exchange for- stay.

For fellow families w| kids out there …

We work camp-hosting into our day.

IMO. This lifestyle makes dealing out responsibilities a little more difficult than traditional “stick & bricks” living.

(we don’t have a yard to mow or huge bedrooms to clean)

As a , Camp Hosting has become a responsibility “job” that my kiddos take pride in & genuinely look forward to doing.

I don’t allow them to clean the toilets or showers. But trash, sweeping & mopping is fair game!

Also, NO I do NOT pay them for their services.

They understand that work camping covers our monthly site fee & that’s payment for all of us.

Not gonna lie tho, Golf cart privileges are a big motivator for them too! LOL.

Looking for workcamp gigs….
👉WorkamperJobs.com
👉Indeed
👉Facebook
👉Simply Ask around!

Remember: ALL WORKCAMPING JOBS LOOK DIFFERENT.

We feel lucky to have found a campground we love in a town we love.

I’m happy to live in a van down by the river any day.

Just not without bug spray🤪🦟 lol.

If you’re thru and want a to the …. Stay at 👉TOM SAWYER RV.

👍Ya can’t beat the location.

Outside the city, but less than 20 mins from all the Memphis heavy hitters.





👍The price is always right.

• FHU Pull Thrus
•Big Rig Friendly.
•Gravel + Concrete sites
•Contactless Check-In

👎Not wheel friendly.
The Bathhouses & Laundry (see pictured) are understandably elevated. The river does flood.

👍You can’t beat the views♥️

TONS of W I D E open green-space. Fishing ponds. Riverboats & barges up and down the river all day🙌 Never gets old.

We’ve stayed here 2x and I’ve booked this park for clients. I wouldn’t camp anywhere else in Memphis.

Sunday to 🫶
Thank you for hosting us!

We needed to be near and are lucky to have snagged a spot here.

👍It’s a small park. Friendly staff. Clean. 40ft + Gravel pads. Dog friendly. Quiet neighbors. | We were most definitely the loudest there🤪

The road down to the 2nd tier was a little steeper than I expected, but totally doable! | See Photos |

There is no bathhouse or laundry, but no worries! There are several laundromats in the area.

👍Convenient to and

is just around the corner from

a HIGHLIGHT✨was watching the cars run the tracks.

We also took a trip downtown, which is always a fun time!

is a MUST SEE and is a MUST DO!!

👍Pleasant SURPRISE✨ Despite being in an industrial area… GSP Park is designed w| lots
GREEN-SPACE & NATURE for feral kids like mine to explore. Lol.

Fire pit areas w|seating. Bark Park. Open space for tossing a ball. Nature trail w| stream & lots of wildlife.

Notice I didn’t say R for “Resort.”

If you book here expecting hot tubs and water slides…it’s not that kinda resort.

If you’re a race-fan and your options for camping are either:
A. Hoof it 1+ miles to a field w|o hookups in the Carolina Summer.
-OR -
B. Take an easy paved walk to a gavel site with 50amps for HIGH A/C & a sewer set-up…this is YOUR resort! 😎

Please do not get me wrong…
Our crew has stayed here several times and it’s every thing we need each time!♥️

👉Full hook ups. 50amp. Coinless Laundry. Bathhouse. Playground. Big Rig & Pet Friendly. No RV age restrictions.

👉Great location if you’re visiting or working on the Northside of .

Park is directly across the street from
(Not encouraging anyone to buy, but….perusing the lot on evening walks is about as close as I’m going to get to my own personal RV show without the crowds. LOL. Entertaining)

👉A rotation of campers.
•Fall & Winter -> Work Families + Daily Sites
•Spring & Summer ->
