Lots!
Chris and I work two days per week. He's the outside guy and I'm the office person. I check in campers, answer the phones (which both seem to ring at the same time), make reservations, operate the camp store and give lots of people quarters for the laundry.
Chris tends the pool, waters the plants, sells propane, and escorts people to their sites. He gets to use a golf cart all day long. I'm a little jealous.
Additional duties include: giving directions (at which I am horrible since I haven't been here that long), cleaning the store and restocking shelves, delivering packages, sometimes making restaurant referrals, raking sites, and generally keeping an eye on things. The owners are here part of the time, but mostly we are on our own...
I know that doesn't sound like a huge amount of work, but by the end of a 12 hour day, we are both beat. It seems like it's either feast or famine...nothing is happening and then suddenly everything is happening...both phones are ringing, a big RV has just pulled in, someone needs propane and six kids need Klondike bars.
But, it's fun and different from anything I've done before. We're only here for a couple more months and now that the weather has cooled down (mid-80s vs. high 90s) we don't feel quite so wilted at the end of the day.
Plus...we get to wear bright yellow KOA T-shirts.
P.S. And use walkie talkies.
