Community, Content & Cleaning

  1. Community is what sets VLC apart from other campgrounds. Plan and lead weekly group activities and post them on the VLC Community discord.  

  2. Content is another important responsibility of camphosting. Take vertical pictures and 10 second vertical videos that our media team can use when creating content. Post content to the Molalla Discord channel. Campers love to see pics & vids, too!

  3. Cleaning community spaces for campers to enjoy is an important part of the gig. See the task list below for specifics.

Additional Info & Notes 

Booking Extensions/Changes

  • If a camper wants to extend/modify their booking, they should reply to their booking confirmation email (not the reminder email) with desired changes.

Guest Passes

If campers ask about having a guest visit them, you can give them this link to pass along (the guest/visitor should be the one to complete the reservation) - https://vanlifecampgrounds.checkfront.com/reserve/?category_id=17

Notes on guest passes:

  • $10 per day

  • Email receipt does not provide the address, onsite link, or discord info (guest will get address from camper)

  • This is location agnostic, so you won't directly get a notification. But since you are initiating the process (camper asks you), you should be aware of when/where guests are onsite. info@ will be in the loop regarding guest pass bookings.

Membership Questions

  • If a camper asks about redeeming membership codes, finding their codes, etc. you can instruct them to contact Sara at info@vanlifecampgrounds.com

What's that big silver tub??

A HOT TUB!! The tub is heated by coils that wrap around a firepit. Takes about 2 hours to fill up. A little over an hour to heat with the fire. Jim also offers an instant water heater option.

  • Setup: hook the two lines on the side of the tub to the lines on the side of the firepit. Fill. Start fire. Voila.

  • Teardown: Open drain next to the two hose ports on the tub. Disconnect hoses and make sure to stand it back up on its side (easier to stay clean from tree gunk).

NOTE:Jim charges $75 (for water and propane usage).This is clearly quite time consuming to do, so do not feel obligated to promote this if you don't want to. Definitely do not be afraid to ask the guests assist you with setup/teardown and/or attempt to guilt trip a Venmo tip out of them for doing all that work!!

Grill

It's old school. Takes a while to heat up and you cannot control the temp. Once it gets hot it is HOT though, so recommend starting it early to heat up before you're ready to start cooking.
