- Day as a campground host in the remote Colorado Mountains.
Camp host at Himes Peak Campground in Meeker, Colorado.
*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 are so conscientious, Brian. What a great host! Wish I could stay in one of those gorgeous sites. I hope you have a fantastic summer.
I was thinking the same thing. Brian, they are fortunate to have you!
Seems like you're perfectly suited for this campground work. Hope you get a fat paycheck and a big raise.
and this job looks like a good workout too!
The rainbow and the hummingbird let you know you are in the right place. Perfect job for you Brian. There is nothing like a good hot bowl of food after a long day of work.🌻
If I had a camper I would absolutely stay at the campgrounds!
If the Queen had balls she would be the King.
Nah, it's not an unfair advantage, it's an earned advantage! This looks perfect for you Brian! I'm glad it's working out! You've earned it.
Gosh, I bet your new employer feels so relieved and lucky to have you there! Hard working/no drama, self starting, employees are hard to find nowadays. You’ve seriously turned those campgrounds around and made them look beautiful in such a short amount of time. I’m so glad to see you look relaxed and happy! Be safe ✌️
I’ve enjoyed watching you bring life back to those campsites. Dinner looks good. Your outdoor office is beautiful.
The Spoon🌟
I like the Wooden Spoon👏👏
Wow you're really getting that place cleaned up looks great Brian another wonderful video too
Wow! the rainbow confirmed that God is watching over you. The little hummer is begging for a feeder, they see your great cooking skills and want in on it. lol! Brian I pray that your new environment will feed your soul to overflowing. God bless you, Louise
Back to your roots. Looks like you are enjoying your time there and the work. They are lucky to have you.
That's one of my favorite meals too. I put cornbread in the bottom of a mug and pile on the stew. By the time you get down to the cornbread it's full of delicious pot liquor. Don't forget the hot sauce. 😁👍
The humming bird was like where is the feeder lol
That high speed landscaping is fun to watch 🌳
Not only an easy, tasty meal but so inexpensive as well. Such a thorough job cleaning up those sites, right man for the job. ✌️💚
Minimum wage for a live-in remote job where you are required to have skills and operate equipment is not a fair wage, but I don’t fault you for taking it. That’s a sweet place to be. Your value to these campgrounds is worth at least $25/hr. Not surprised they have trouble finding quality people
His space is free so not too bad.
If you factor in the camping space he gets on top of the wage and any other perks and being able to enjoy for free someplace people normally spend a lot of money to get to and stay, I would say that is a great wage!! 😊
Wow. Colorado - what an absolutely beautiful state.
Great picture of the rainbow with your ring in the middle! You are right where you need to be Brian!😍
Yep, being a campground manager is a great gig! I had to chuckle a little because I was just doing some weed wacking around my campground today. I love meeting campers from all walks of life and many different countrys and being outside!! It does get busy on the weekends for me, but doing this job also allows me time to enjoy things I like to do! And working for AL&L the past 3 years has been great!(I recognized the uniform shirt and name tag)!!😁👍
Thank you for showing us what nomads do for work and actually doing the work not just talking about it. I appreciate it!
Bug Clothing and a Head Net... I worked in Steamboat Springs for a month and left on July 4th. Monsoon season was just beginning. Went to Salida after that. Really liked that town. This place and the job are exactly what you needed right now. Good on ya Brian.
Great job cleaning up the campgrounds, very scenic view. I was going to be a campground host but instead I found a job in Southeast Texas called being a gatekeeper, basically I was in a guard shack checking in trucks making deliveries to a petroleum supply company. The job paid $30 an hour, it was 12 hour shifts, 7 days a week, and you had to commit to a 90 day contract and if you full-filled the contract there was a nice bonus added. The guard shack was quite huge, it had a large bathroom, came with a kitchen, wifi, and a decent AC. I made enough money from this one job I could travel the rest of the year and not touch my military pension....
Do you get overtime when over 40 hours?
You have the best nomad channel on UA-cam.
I always appreciate how you break down all the details for your gigs, especially what one might expect to make.
no doubt they are Lucky to have You as a camp host!
Always nice to pull into a well groomed campsite.
Good job, Bryan. You are the man; always positive with can-do disposition. Lord knows, we need more people like you in the US.
Looking forward to the next video! 👍🏻🫵🏻🇺🇸🍝☕️🍀
Love love love the time lapse of the yard work. It's so satisfying.
Enjoy the scenes of your life and the music! Thanks Brian🤗🙋♀️
Have fun Brian great video
Great video! Be careful of the deer flies! I pulled into a beautiful camp site close to a Missouri Conservation area, and my van was attacked by deer flies. I left after 15 minutes, having never gotten out of the van. It was crazy!
Looks like you've chosen a great summer job, and the park has found an excellent camp host. Thanks for another fun video.
Nice job! I love how you show the real life of camp hosting. I can’t wait to see more. You literally made me laugh out loud when you joked about the dog falling down on the job. HAHAHAHAHA 😂
Hi Brian, as always it so good seeing you. Loved the rainbow and the hummingbird. Your stew looked good enough to eat! lol You're a diligent worker Brain. They're lucky to have you! Continued happy adventures!
Thy adventure continues 🎉
I mowed lawns every summer with my dad for a little $ in my teens, and I’m with you…that sense of rendering something overgrown into something inviting and neat feels great!
Happy fishing! That soup looked good, and I cook like that for myself on the homestead pretty often. Nice to have a hot meal after working all day when you don't feel like cooking. Enjoyed the video.
That's a beautiful carved spoon you made! And what a lovely memory. Great content, new sub ❤
Working part time can be a great work life balance 👍
So satisfying watching the clean up in fast mode!!!!
Love you are back to basics on videos and posting regularly. Great video!
Weed eating is hard work Brian and your eating a hardy farmer's meal coming from a farmer's daughter. Good stuff! 😋 🤩 Best wishes from good Ole Arizona. Love, love your video's! 🎉
Awesome rainbow. Nice place to work, play & work. You're doing a great job. KOKO
The Rainbow🌈 Was Beautiful Awesome
Cool 😎
Good , Happy 😊 it's working for You
Colorado is 😍 🤩 Beautiful💟❤️💯
Happy Trails🌄🌲
Safe Travels🙏✝️🕊
The beauty of the area!! Never had a desire to visit Colorado until now; thanks for opening my eyes.
P.s. A can of small black beans in your soup might be a good addition 🙂
Thanks for sharing Brian, prayers for you!
Making me hungry. It's so good to see your happy new job.
Looking good in your uniform. The rainbow and hummingbird were a nice treat. Beautiful area.
That vegetable beef soup is my favorite🤗Bite size cabbage is delicious in it Awesome summer vids🥰
Have followed you for years. So happy that you are happy
Hey Brian...
You missed a spot..😂
Great channel and content.
For the mosquitoes, Bryan try spray bottle with water, vanilla extract and cinnamon. It works.
Yeah! Horse campgrounds, I am an equestrian and camp with my horses in Oregon. 😊
That rainbow ❤❤❤
I enjoyed watching the time lapse of you with the weed eater. Great job!
Thanks for the video ✌️
Thank you.
I would love to stay at a campground where you are the host. Great job! Thanks for all the information at the end. 👍
Thanks Brian Another great video!! What a beautiful place to be.
I love your videos, waiting for your next video.😊
Bonjour Brian so glad you are cooking again and yes you are fast at weeds cutting 😀. Take care Mon Ami .
I love Northwestern CO, it's so lush with Aspen groves everywhere. Been a nice summer too.
Your videos are so informational for people looking to live this life style. Thank you for that
You are a nice guy with lots of great skills including nice videographer with good commentary. Thank you.
nice vid. good work, since you are so much more efficient at landscape care, they are getting a bargain having you around, they must be loving you..probably have a great reference in the future for choice campground hosting in the future? anyways fun to watch video, informative.
I think I read it in a Mark Twain novel from his early gold mining days (Roughing It) after he would help push wagons laden with mining equipment (pulled by mules) up the most rugged terrain in the mountains... "hunger is the best sauce". A hard days work or even hiking a lot makes food taste 10 times better. Easy compadre.
Thank you for the info Brian. Deer flies are mean, can't say I envy you 🤷 Sending Grandmama love ❌⭕, Iris and Little One 👋🐾
Looks like this job is made for you, happy trails, and away we go. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great vid, Brian! Looks like you’ve dropped some weight. Must be all that yard work! Be healthy 😊
Nice to see someone with some work ethic. Wish I had a coworker like you. Enjoy you summer.
You have such a great work ethic! Beautiful job! You might want to get a net headgear. We have nasty flies and mosquitos in Minnesota, especially in the Northwoods. That netting made a huge difference although they can get warm…blessings to you…🙏
I am in AZ; Phoenix area right now. That rain looks glorious!! And OMG! Amazing rainbow capture!
About the only one worth watching nowadays thanks for taking the time to post a great video
That looks SO amazingly beautiful there. Great job on the mowing. Looks so good.
I was in Colorado vacationing/camping last week and thought about you as I was driving through Leadville (your video driving through there had just come out on UA-cam). The public national forest service campgrounds we stayed at were all very well maintained by campground hosts which is much appreciated. Thank you to you and all of these hosts for your efforts! Enjoy your summer in the mountains!
Great video!! You look very handsome and professional in your work shirt. Be careful of mosquitoes. Rainbows, hummingbirds and beautiful sheep. All in Gods magnificent creation. Just perfect for your gentle nature Brian. Keep those great videos coming!! We enjoy them so much. Hugs from southern Virginia.
Ohhh!!! ❤ I watch The Boring Channel which is a landscaper,lol! So my hubbys fav thing is weed whacking and camping and he is gonna LOVE seeing his two fav things together and now after I show him this video, he will bug me to go do this😂🙋🛻🇨🇦❤️‼️
That rushing stream was beautiful. The valley is beautiful too with so many colors of green. Soup looks tasty after a long days work. Enjoy!
You are definitely in your element with that job 😊. I'm so happy for you that you found such a job that is not so time consuming and you can still enjoy your free time hiking. Thx for the update Brian ❤ Teresa from Pennsylvania 🖐️
Perfect job for you! Love the area....the mountain views and the sounds of water are so wonderful. Thank you for doing such a nice job....the sites looked so much better and much more welcoming. Soup is my favorite thing to make. I make a good chicken orzo spinach with veggies that is one of my favorites. Keep up the good work and get out and enjoy some of the beautiful land!
We enjoyed working with AL&L and were bummed when our concessionaire company changed this past season at the campground we work at. Hopefully you’re not having too many issues with them.
It’s nice being able to just self manage yourself. Bosses definitely make or break those types of jobs.
Sounds like you’re adapting well- hope you get to enjoy some time in CO.
The camp host job looks perfect for you. My parents were camp hosts in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho for years. They loved it.I hope you have fun and be safe out there
14:26 You need to fix a go bag that you can carry with you or grab and throw on your motorcycle to make sure you have everything you might need to have with you when you are out. Have a good day.
What a beautiful area.
Great video! Wow those flies are jerks! I live in Tombstone, AZ and they can be a bit aggressive here, but not like that!
Another great video. Great to see you. I love that you show the workcamp jobs and what it's like.
It's very beautiful there. Thank you for showing us around. I love these kind of videos.
❤😊, what a beautiful place to work. Thank you for taking us along on your journey.
Hey, have any of the campers recognized you from your UA-cam channel?
NIce gig that seems to suit your needs perfectly (for now). Enjoy yourself and stay well, Brian!
Hey Brian, You got those campgrounds looking great.
The company you're working for they hit the jackpot with you professional landscaper.
Looking forward to the next video hopefully you get some fishing time in.
Enjoy your time.
Hey! enjoyed the video. We are Camp Hosting down near Pueblo, CO. LOVE it here at LaVista Campground in San Isabel National Forest. Looking forward to your next video
Very nice, you done a beautiful job on those sites. You are in a very nice location, enjoy the beauty. The think those host jobs are a very good gig to travel and see the outdoors.
There In high demand I bet in summer.
Very cool, thanks for the videos.
I have really enjoyed the videos of your new job. Keep em coming. It's really good to see the increased frequency of your videos. Thank you for your videos that show the truth. I love being a nomad.
Im glad you are staying busy and happy.
Another great video Brian! Love to see what’s cookin in your pot. Simple and delicious!
WOW out loud! for that rainbow! What kind of weed whacker do you use? it seems very efficient! Get a scarf and spray it good with the bug spray, that protects your skin but will deter buggies. Love to you!!
They are lucky they found you! You got those parks looking great! God bless you and thank you for sharing your journey!
Adventure Van Man!~ Thanks for showing this. This looks like a perfect way to spend a summer and gain experience with seasonal work.
Excellent video, Brian. It's sooooo pretty out there. Wow!
Super, driving and getting paid no complaints... Btw they are lucky to have you.
