Camp Host⛺️Would I Do It Again??

In this video I talk about my experience as a camp ground host at a remote campground in the mountains o Colorado.
Thank You For Being Here.
*My name is Brian. I started living full time in a self built camper van in 2014 in my hometown of San Diego, CA. I hit the road full-time in 2015 to pursue seasonal work and travel around the U.S. I find free camping on public land and enjoy photography, hiking, biking, and kayaking in nature. Join me on my adventures.
Thanks for watching!

You're leaving it much nicer than you found it, excellent job.

[@user-et6wk5vy8d]

I agree! It sure looks good now. Special work ethics you have!

[@teresap.5991]

That's for sure. Brian like us actually cares and has a work ethic that a lot of people don't anymore. I always took pride in my work. I'm retired now and my body hurts from all the hard work...

[@jimsteele7108]

I think it would be pretty cool to roll up to a campground and have Bryan as your camp host.

[@MyFriendlyPup]

Just such a humble dude. Not perfect, no one is. Just a good dude. A humble, hard working dude.

[@jefflee5047]

Thanks Brian. They’re fortunate to have you as a host. Well maintained

[@sp03259]

Keep on trucking Brian, you got the right approach to your kind of lifestyle.

[@bryanmathew2079]

Ya He's Got iT 😊Down.. maybe 1 Day i' Try and Host Here

[@1PhotoGeek]

That campground was lucky to have you. Thank you for sharing all of the information on being a Camp Host.

[@Enjoyrving]

The camping community will spread the word on how nice you have maintained the location so next year it will see more use. I suspect the company will ask you to return. A raise should be in order.

[@Zorazora1234]

Ohhh how beautiful .. the trees …. Can’t imagine the color changes Feel Better!

[@jimkoval4725]

Good day Brian. Glad you had a great experience with your summer. We will be watching for you when you move on for the winter. Stay safe.

[@davidhoffman6233]

the campground is beautiful Brian, the best one we’ve stayed at. And it was nice to finally meet you in person last week after watching your videos for the past 10 years.

[@SRTV580]

Awesome to see the level of thought, effort, and care you put into things. Doing your job and taking care of the community at the same time is noble work.

[@TM-ev2tc]

The camp hosting job seemed like a pretty good gig to me.👍

[@Manitou36]

Thanks for the video Brian, what a neat opportunity you had this summer to you stay in such a beautiful place, thanks for breaking it all down. 😎✌️

[@georgecorreia5314]

What a beautiful camp site was what you needed at the right time for you plus a pleasant guest good for you

[@georgemccoy5028]

Thanks for sharing this experience, Brian. I think I would be able to do this type of hosting. I'm retired now, don't need the income and this would definitely be right up my alley. Spent a good part of my life doing landscape maintenance. That campground is beautiful!! You left it so much nicer than you found it.

[@lesleyhughes3174]

Thank you Brian. Safe travels and without that head cold it is hoped! 😊 Looking forward to your next adventure down the road.🙋🏼‍♀️🚐 🌏🧭

[@b-lopez394]

Another experience under the belt👍. Now you know what a camp host is all about.

[@scottnordlund8683]

You did a great job with this all season. Kudos to you. Blessings to you and best wishes!!

[@lesleyhughes3174]

Good morning Brian! Great to see your video pop up! 😊

[@Vanlifeofriley-zm5js]

You needed a little down time after the emotional upset. Now you are centered, refreshed and ready for more Adventure. You be you and have fun.

[@TexasGlitter-hs7bz]

Thats what I love about this life style.. When I get tired of Roaming I park host in campground for about 3 months to 6 months depending if I like the area are not and just be still for a while. Park hosting is a Awesome way to live.. For sure... I love it.. Now some places aren't so great and I have only done a month and left but one thing about that, you don't have to go back if you don't like a area..

[@vicO1323]

I can't believe summer is over. I'm headed back to Arizona soon to warm up for winter. haha.

[@michaeltellurian825]

Really appreciate this series. Your insights are highly valuable. Thanks, Brian!

[@54bonkers]

Hi Brian! Sorry you’ve had a bad cold. Miserable! Hope it’s over soon. Take care! ☮️🎉☀️

[@missreg333]

Sounds like a great experience Brian! So glad for you!

[@MoutainGuyAdventures]

They were lucky to have you. It would have been cool to have you as a host. You’re leaving that place much better than it was before.

[@Vantasticviews2]

Looking forward to your post camp host video. Cheers! ✌🏼

[@thelegion_within]

good lord the size of that puffball!! biggest I've ever seen was half-dollar sized. glad to hear that you had a relaxing summer - looking forward to the next adventure!

[@davechristensen3167]

Glad I could get up there again. Good fishing this time. Hopefully see you down the road. And away we go.

[@swankieR_wheels]

Only came to that campground once with.supervisor and maintenance guy and we spent a full day weed waking. Had some vandalism there. Sounds like things have changed a little.

[@louparry7721]

Hi Brian, I'm glad that you had a successful summer experience at a time when you wanted to just step back a bit. It certainly is a beautiful place to come into your own again. The trout were a bonus , for sure. Thanks for sharing your experience with us. I hope you will be feeling as good as new very soon. Your friend, Louise

[@cherieleeishere]

Have really enjoyed watching your summer here Brian. Take care 🙏🏼 peace 🕊️

[@lyndarandall211]

You did a great job. Wish we had you as a camp host in some sites we stayed at this year. I agree you had a perfect spot. Safe travels 🤗🌻

[@pjzeiden9210]

I am glad that this was a positive experience, Brian. I am sure that you were an ideal camp ground host, and even if you are moving on, you left this camp groud better off for having been there. Here's to your next adventure!

[@RainStrom_61]

We have been volunteers camphost for almost years. We enjoy the travel.

[@journeyswithlittletpage1669]

I love the Aspens!

[@patjosey721]

Hi Brian. Tony and I are headed west soon. TPonaRoll will be rolling again!!! Good video.

[@calvinmarshall1610]

Hi there great video Brian looking forward to your next video thanks for sharing

[@terryh3689]

I wish they would keep the campgrounds open longer in Colorado. Most are already closed, but the weather for camping is awesome. In Alaska they are open all year. If the snow isn’t blocking the way in, you are free to use them.

[@davidcapalbo5002]

Man, they were lucky to have you, especially after issues with certain hosts! I think they'll actually cry and be heart broken knowing that you may not be back!. Wonder how it's gonna feel being back on the road and saying some you haven't said and we haven't heard in a long time,"AND AWAY WE GOOOO!".🤣✌️🚚👍

[@scottthejeepguy7499]

Great job hosting, you did a great job.

[@gwendolynmccall4746]

The camp grounds look great from what I see😊 Happy you're feeling better.

[@sandollarj504]

What a beautiful summer you had. Happy you had some peace for a time.

[@michaeltablet8577]

So much better than when you arrived safe travels and God bless you!

[@jstep4146]

Ever hit a giant puff-ball with a mower? POOOM! Big cloud! I hit purple one and it was spectacular.

[@joanneburford6364]

What's a puff-ball, we don't get them in Australia...

[@blackwoodslawn]

​@joanneburford6364 He might be talking about a fungus that grows overnight...kinda like mushrooms, but not. The dry up..in the heat...add a lawn mower...poof..

[@cathydemarest3572]

Feel better, great job making it look welcoming for the guest.

[@silka9187]

Thank you Brian, Adventure Van Man, you are so thoughtful, your postings are a pleasure to watch.... and dream of the time I can have similar adventures.

[@boydman68]

Sorry I missed you when I checked out. Sandy gets her shot at 6am and I had packed up during the rain the night before. I love your videos and it was great to meet you in person. Safe travels and I hope to see you down the road again.

[@AdventureVanMan]

Pleasure to meet you! Safe travels.

[@bonniepwtf]

Hope you are on the mend soon Brian.✌️Can only imagine how beautiful it will become with the leaves changing. Fall is my favorite season. 🍁🍂🍁🍂

[@4yellowwolf]

Everything look really good. You have great standards. Being open to this experience allowed you the time to be still and be. I trust your next adventure will also serve you well. Hope to see you down the road. Stay well & Happy 🙏🏽🎈🍀

[@danrandall794]

Glad this worked out for you and fit your current needs.

I like this gig for all the reasons you mentioned. I’ll be looking for the follow up videos on the details. Thanks Brian for sharing your experiences the way you do and looking forward to the next one 👍

Thanks Buddy, retired 2 years ago and last year lost my wife of 43 years ago. Trying to figure out what to do now. I think I'd be alright with way out campgrounds, but unsure, can't take a lot of crap.No pun intended. Thanks Dirk

[@jeffhokit5046]

Wonderful video, thanks.

[@caveredecorator5310]

i can see where you would rather do the salmon run in alaska or the beet harvest for big bucks. switching it up once in a while is fun too if you can swing it.

[@tennesseeterri]

What is the salmon run? What is that job?

[@susanstrickland6774]

Well, you had a good summer. You're leaving the campground better than you found it. I'd say a decent experience. Ugh, summer cold is no fun. Hopefully a quick recovery. 🙂👍

[@markbutterfield2189]

Brian, the camp looks great, you did a really nice job

[@maryswanson9982]

All of the camp hosts we met were very nice!

[@tikoy1955]

Great informational video. Gas in West Central Texas was $2.41 for regular. It was $2.62 ten days ago. I would enjoy a small camp host position.

[@raymondsenecal8943]

That's cheap 2.41.

[@tikoy1955]

@@raymondsenecal8943 Sam's was $2.39 but I don't have a membership.

[@markdarling4487]

Wow, what an absolutely beautiful location. You are one lucky guy to have been paid to spend the summer there.

[@freedomdove]

It seems like that was a great seasonal job. 👍

[@1966spyderco]

Come back to Colorado anytime Brian. Thank you

[@glennkennedy441]

You were the perfect campground host, I hope you do it again.....

[@Catmoore60]

I think they will be very glad to have you back if you decide to do this again.

[@prpman99]

Glad it went well for you. 99% of the folks are respectful and appreciate your efforts. Peace to you also.

[@jobabs]

Hope you feel better soon. We just completed our vacation in the nearby Buford area, our 5th Labor Day we've spent in the Flat Tops and White River National Forest area. We hiked up to Big Fish Lake and it was just beautiful. Your campground looked great! Hubby and I have really enjoyed this summer video series.

[@farmgirl4958]

Enjoyed your video!

[@jamesrichardson1326]

Colorado minimum wage is decent, so not having to move and such is nice. You've got those sites well cleaned.

I'm so sorry you were under the weather so bad😢. So many people are getting colds around here too. My sister just got covid 3 weeks ago and is fully v------+-+- I'm praying you feel better soon 🙏.

[@CindyinArizona]

That's a great job you've done with the campground, it looks so neat and tidy. I bet it was restful to be up there in the cool weather when the rest of the country was baking in the heat. Maybe something to do every other year?

[@rickfletcher5053]

Take care of yourself and feel better

[@billbradley2480]

That job was a good fit for you. Glad you’re feeling better. I’m almost 67 and I haven’t had a cold or flu in years. The secret is detox quarterly and avoid Drs. Also avoid those free injections they offer at Grocery stores.

I don't think Brian is rushing vaccine clinics.

Do a lymphatic message in the head ear neck area, and down to the arm pit across and down and out the foot area.use a steamer to help to dislodge the clogged area .that's my 2 cents...hope it works for you...happy camping..

looks great

[@bsommer1717]

Good job Brian. Another great experience for you and we were able to tag along!

You definitely made that campground look more appealing with all the work you did. Glad that you had a place to call home for the summer to enjoy life in the outdoors.

Thank you Brian, you have shown us such a beautiful place to visit. I'm putting this on my list of best places to camp. ❤🙏👍 Hope you are feeling better. Take care

You are so awesome to share. So excited for your next adventure!!!

I had that head cold too. I was just shiffly, some coughing, took some Theraflu and that tightened up the nasal passages. Feeling a little bit better already. About a week since I began the head cold.
