Campsite Host

Mendip Basecamp (mendipbasecamp.com) is an offgrid family campsite perched in the Mendip Hills. We have capacity for 650 campers in tents and campervans. Fixed bunk tents, pitched bell tents and lodge bunks offer further accommodation.
 

The site is linked to Mendip Activity Centre (www.mendip.co.uk) which offers our campers a full program of bookable outdoor activities, cafe / bar facilities and live music and entertainment. The local area has loads to offer visitors and as a campsite we aim to offer entertainment throughout the week.
 

For the 2024 season we are looking for team members who can wear a variety of hats but first and foremost must have enthusiasm and a positive attitude. Team members who no matter what they are doing, have our guest's enjoyment as their core objective.
 

Our Basecamp check in, guest services, retail, and food service operate from our main Pavilion everyday from 8am until 10pm.

Responsibilities​

• Check guests in using a computer system

• Confidently share full site information highlighting key points

• Upsell retail and activities and offer general tourist information

• Assist with enquiries and problems

• Ensure retail area is fully stocked and assist with ordering

• Clean and tidy pavilion area

If you're also happy to get involved and wear our park mascot or have face-painting, hair-braiding, balloon modelling or other festival or circus type skills this would be an excellent addition.
