Cathy Reinard describes working at Catskill Mountains Gilboa KOA in Episode 353

On today’s episode, we head to the breathtaking Catskill Mountains of upstate New York to visit the Catskill Mountains Gilboa KOA (http://koa.com/campgrounds/catskill) to talk to one of its owners about the many opportunities to find Workamping jobs there.



Owner Cathy Reinard purchased the campground just a few years ago and has transformed it into a scenic retreat where guests can relax beside the Schoharie Creek, surrounded by mountain views, bald eagles and plenty of wide-open green space for recreation.

Cathy described her park as being terraced along the side of a mountain, offering about 300 sites ranging from rustic tent spots to deluxe full-hookup RV sites and even cozy cabins.



She said her goal is to give guests a variety of price points and experiences while maintaining KOA’s signature clean restrooms, family-friendly amenities and a peaceful atmosphere.



Because of the campground’s size and busy summer season, Cathy brings in about eight to 10 Workampers to fill positions in maintenance, housekeeping, at the front desk and leading activities.



She welcomes families, couples and solo Workampers, and values a team that blends the energy of local high school or college students with the experience and reliability of Workampers.



If you’re looking for a Workamping position in a peaceful, mountain setting with lots of green space and natural beauty, then the Catskill Mountains Gilboa KOA might be the perfect fit.



Their season typically runs from Mother’s Day through Columbus Day, and the team works together to make sure every guest has a memorable stay.



Cathy looks for dependable, drama-free applicants with a willingness to learn.



Whether it’s cleaning cabins, mowing grass, leading crafts for kids or greeting guests at check-in, she said flexibility is the key to success at her park.



Workampers enjoy paid positions starting at $16 an hour, plus a free RV site with propane and a $100 monthly allowance to help cover electricity.



They also have the chance to live in one of the most beautiful parts of New York, close to Cooperstown, historic museums and within a few hours of New York City.



Cathy said she appreciates initiative, so if you think you’d be a great fit, don’t hesitate to reach out directly.



The Catskill Mountains Gilboa KOA is more than a workplace, it’s a campground where Workampers can enjoy nature, connect with travelers from around the world, and create memories that last long after the season ends.
