Your Campsite’s Website
This should be your first point of contact for applicants. Your website must include a dedicated "Careers" or "Join Our Team" page listing all current vacancies.
Even if most candidates apply via other platforms, showing you're hiring builds trust with visitors. Regular guests may refer you to someone they know, and local job seekers often check out regional campsite websites for exclusive opportunities.
Your Social Media Channels
Your campsite should have a presence on social platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and even LinkedIn. Posting job offers there can generate strong engagement and a high volume of applications.
However, social media applications can be less targeted, so it’s essential to write a clear, detailed job description to attract the right profiles.
Specialised Camping & Hospitality Job Boards
Posting on niche platforms like Seasonworkers.com or CampsiteJobs UK can help you attract candidates specifically interested in outdoor hospitality.
These platforms draw in applicants who are motivated by working in campsites and holiday parks, which leads to more relevant and qualified applications.
General UK Job Boards
While specialised sites are ideal, don’t overlook general platforms. Many of them offer free or low-cost job postings, and have massive reach.
Popular platforms include Indeed, Reed, TotalJobs, and CV-Library.
To maximise visibility, aim to publish your listing on a mix of around 10 platforms — for example, 5 specialist and 5 generalist job boards.
Your Professional Network
Don't underestimate the power of word-of-mouth and professional referrals. Previous seasonal staff may be available to return, which can save you time and training efforts.
Even those who aren’t available might help spread your job advert among their contacts. Reaching out to trusted former staff can be a great shortcut to quality recruitment.
Why not keep a mailing list of past employees and alert them when new job offers become available?
Hospitality and Tourism Schools
Tourism, catering, or hospitality schools are excellent sources of candidates, especially for summer roles and internships.
Reach out to these institutions and request to post your job offers directly to students. Recruiting young, motivated students can help maintain a vibrant and professional image for your site.
In short, there are many ways to advertise your campsite job offers. The more channels you leverage, the faster you’ll fill your roles — and with better-qualified staff.
