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 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. -

Help
We’re a very small familyrun campground (35 spots).
>> 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.
The two of us run it. I handle guest services, check-in, etc., on the side, and so does my husband; we’re better equipped to handle hiking advice and specific questions about the surrounding area.
bevore the season starts:
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.
It is important to bring experience with this work, because you have to be able to work very independently.
April - March - Mai - and after Season in November
> bevore Season Starts
> Maintenance of bushes
> cleaning paths and driveways
> Mowing the lawn
> removing weeds
During the Summer Season from Mai to September
> Cleaning the public facility on the campsite (every Day 2 hours)
> Maintenance of bushes
> Mowing the lawn
> when guests arrive on very bussy days - help to find there spots
Note:
>> it's not a stay where you have constantly to do - and for that not that stay you earn big money - its more the reagion you can enjoy and explore.
>> there are no guest when we need help.
>> For a well-established team and independent work it needs time. Therefore it would be good if you can stay at least one month.
>> 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. -
