Description
Hey there,
We are a very small family run natural mini campsite in the beautiful Ortenau region, between Strasbourg and the Black Forest. Between Mai and September, Families adventurers and everybody else can enjoy a very simple, natural and relaxing stay - since 1970! We mainly need help in the park in early spring, bevor the season starts and after the season, in October and November.
> So there are no guest when we need help.
> We are perfect for everyone who wants to explore this beautiful region and needs some calm space for their own.
> Please read everything carefully before you apply.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Gardening
General Maintenance
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
This region is especially known for the food, wine, nature and culture. The black forest is only 20 minutes away and since there is a bus stop directly in front of the house, you can reach places quite easily.
we are a very open minded community here and you are very welcome to spend time with us - we love to sit in our garden, make "Flammkuchen" in our oven and just enjoy summer evenings around a campfire. We also love to visit museums, interesting cities around us and, of course, go hiking in the black forest.
We would gladly share our meals with you if you want - but you are also free to do your own thing and very welcome to use the campsite kitchen or camper van kitchen.Host offers payment in line with the minimum wage

Help
Our campsite is mini (30 places).
>> We don't have a restaurant and we don't have a store,
so we are mainly looking for help with the maintenance of our park where the campers will be.
>> Always bevore the season starts and after season.
Our workaway will help preparing the ground for the season.
Tasks such as:
> Maintenance of bushes
> cleaning paths and driveways
> Mowing the lawn
> removing weeds
We are looking for someone who enjoys working outside and has a feel for the nature. This can be exhausting. In Spring and fall we have a lot of work preparing the park for Seasin or after season's end.
For a well-established team and independent work it needs time. Therefore it would be good if you can stay at least one month.
It is important to bring experience with this work, because you have to be able to work very independently.
Since the tasks vary depending on the weather, there may be days when there is nothing to do. So you have a lot of free time to explore the beautiful region.
