Work Camper Opportunities in the Beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota

If you’ve got a friendly way with folks, a strong work ethic, and the kind of self‑motivation that keeps you moving, you might be just the kind of hand we’re looking for. Here at Custer Crazy Horse Campground, we take pride in offering guests a clean, tree‑lined place to rest their boots while soaking in the spirit of the West.

Spend your summer exploring the rugged beauty of the Black Hills — from Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse Memorial to the countless trails, towns, and hidden gems scattered across this frontier — all while work camping with us.

We’re a family‑owned outfit looking for 2–3 work‑camper couples or singles to join our guest service team from May through September. Positions include store/registration, housekeeping, groundskeeping, and maintenance.

⭐ What We Provide

  • Full‑hookup campsite

  • Store discounts

  • Free laundry facilities

  • Free propane

  • Full use of all campground amenities

⭐ The Work

This is a volunteer position with no monetary pay. Each person contributes 25 hours per week.

Duties include:

  • Store/registration: greeting guests, helping with check‑ins, light housekeeping in the store, laundry room, and bathhouses

  • Outdoor/maintenance: mowing, trimming, escorting guests to sites, delivering bundled firewood, and general upkeep

Our campground sits on a tiered hillside, so outdoor work requires the ability to handle hilly, rocky terrain while using equipment like a weed‑whacker.

⭐ How to Throw Your Hat in the Ring

If you’d like to join our crew for the season, send your résumé and a photo of you and your camper to:

crazyhorsecampground@hotmail.com

We appreciate your interest and look forward to hearing from you.
