New management at BJ’s RV Park
With a two year slamming by S.A.R.S.2/Corona Virus19 & related changes necessary, a local tradition: BJ’s RV Park, one of the earliest & well established campgrounds in this part of the frontier, is emerging under new management to allow former owner Beth Franklin to fully recover her health from S.A.R.S.2 & pneumonia & enjoy retirement. Beth’s ably talented, locally raised & educated daughter Alicia Giangiacomo takes over the reigns: “I’m so excited to be back & am committed to strengthening existing & building new relationships across the community.”
BJ’s remains open for limited business for RV sites 2-6 & dry-camping until Wednesday, October 6, 2021 when full operations begin for the 30+ sites available to short-term RVers, longer termed snowbirds & local full-timers in need of affordable sites. Depending upon availability, BJ’s accommodates back-ups/pull-throughs; Class A-C, bus, 5th wheeler, travel trailer, pop-up, mini-van, truck camper, car/electric car & tent users.
Eventually, three casitas for possibly longer-term rentals & a motor home for short-term rental-only will become available. Other services will be offered to complement the common hall’s current laundry, showers, restrooms & limited kitchen capacity which will be building key accessed & charges pre-paid.
Office hours are currently: M-F; 9-5 with weekends closed until Wednesday, October 6 when fulltime office hours will resume 9-6 daily (closed for lunch breaks) through the high season of spring break.
Interested candidates for employment WHO ARE TRUSTWORTHY, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED & aptly skilled/experienced are encouraged to apply for any of these $15 per hour (or more for commensurate abilities) part-time camp services: plumbing, electrical, construction, RV repair, groundskeeping, reservation/customer service & office administration and
housekeeping.
Please call the office @ 432.371.2259 for a form to be
texted/emailed to you or picked up w/ advanced notice @ office.
