Welcome to the WorkCampConnect Employer Portal
The WorkCampConnect Employer Portal is the dedicated space where campground operators, RV park owners, ranches, resorts, and seasonal employers post job listings and connect directly with the work-camping community. Listings posted through the Employer Portal get priority placement on the job board, your company branding, and a built-in applicant inbox for managing the people who apply.
This article is the starting point. It explains what the portal is, how to set up your employer account, what you can do inside it, and where to go for the rest of the employer documentation.
What the Employer Portal Is (and Isn't)
The Employer Portal is not a member account. It's a separate account type with its own login, dashboard, billing, and tools. If you also have a personal WorkCampConnect member account (for browsing the forum, member map, etc.), that's totally fine — but the employer side is its own thing with its own credentials.
What the portal lets you do:
- Post job listings on the WorkCampConnect job board with priority placement
- Manage applications from work campers who apply through the platform
- Build a company profile with your logo, photos, and an "About Us" section
- Buy listing credits in packs (Starter, Camp, Trail, Ranch — $29.95 to $209.95)
- Save a card on file for quick checkout next time
- Edit, renew, duplicate, or mark listings as filled
- Receive reviews from work campers who have worked at your location
- Use the built-in AI writing assistant to draft job descriptions
Why Use Direct Employer Listings?
WorkCampConnect imports thousands of jobs from external sources, but Direct Employer listings — the ones posted through the Employer Portal — get treated very differently:
- Priority placement on the job board, above imported listings
- A gold "Direct Employer" badge that members specifically filter for
- Your company logo on the listing card
- A perks preview showing what you offer (RV site, utilities, pay rate, etc.)
- Direct messaging with applicants instead of cold-emailing through a third party
- Verified employer status — members know the listing is real and current, not stale aggregator data
Bottom line: members trust Direct Employer listings more, and they apply to them at higher rates.
How to Create an Employer Account
- Go to workcampconnect.com/employers/ — the public Employer Portal landing page.
- Click Sign Up or Create Employer Account.
- Fill in the registration form:
- Company name — How you want to appear on listings
- Contact name — The primary person managing the account
- Company email — Use a real business email, not a personal account
- Phone number — For verification and any urgent support contact
- Password — Create a secure password
- Company location — State and city of your operation
- Click Create Account.
- Check your email for a verification message and click the link inside.
- Sign in to your new employer dashboard.
You're in. From the dashboard you'll see your credit balance (zero until you buy a pack), an "Active Listings" panel, an "Applications" inbox, and links to post your first job, set up your company profile, and buy credits.
Setting Up Your Company Profile
Before posting your first job, take five minutes to fill out your company profile. It dramatically improves the response rate on your listings.
- From the dashboard, click Company Profile.
- Upload your logo. PNG with a transparent background looks best.
- Upload one or two photos of your campground or operation.
- Write a short About Us section — a paragraph or two describing your operation, your location, and what makes you a good place to work.
- Fill in any contact details, social links, or website URL you want public.
- Save the profile.
Members can click your company name from any listing to see your full profile, so a complete profile makes you look more established than an empty one.
What to Do Next
Once your account is created and your profile is filled out:
- Buy a credit pack — see Employer Credits, Pricing & Billing.
- Post your first job listing — see How to Post a Job Listing.
- Wait for your listing to be reviewed and approved (usually 1-2 business days).
- Once approved, applications start coming in — see Managing Job Applications.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a monthly fee?
No. The Employer Portal is pay-as-you-go. You only pay when you post a listing, by buying credits in packs. No monthly subscriptions, no recurring charges, no per-applicant fees.
Do credits expire?
No. Credits never expire. Buy them when you need them and they stay in your account until you use them.
Can I have multiple users on one employer account?
Currently, employer accounts are single-user. If you need multiple people managing listings, contact [email protected] and we'll work something out.
Can I link my employer account to my personal member account?
They're separate by design — your member account stays member-side, your employer account stays employer-side. You'll have two logins, but you can use the same email for both if you want.
Where do I get support?
Employer-specific support: [email protected]. For general account or billing issues, the same address works.
