Campground Host HandbookPage 5 of 12IV. The Role of the Campground HostAs an ‘Employee’ of the State of MissouriWhile the Division of State Parks appreciates the fact that you are volunteering your precious time to us,it is also extremely important that we realize how the rest of the world views the relationship we have.When you are performing your duties as host, our visitors and campers perceive you to be a stateemployee. Because of this, you must abide by many or most of the same codes and rules as park and siteemployees. These include:• The state’s code of ethics prohibits employees from accepting gratuities or gifts of any kind.What this means: You are not allowed to accept money or any type of gift (food or any items ofvalue) during the performance of your duties. (This includes any gratuities offered by thepark/site concessionaire.) On the flip side of this, it is likewise inappropriate for you to offergifts or gratuities to other employees.• State employees are prohibited from discriminating against or showing favoritism toward anyone onthe basis of race, color, religion, sex, age, or physical disability. State employees are prohibited fromsexual harassment.What this means: All of our visitors and coworkers are to be treated with respect and courtesy.These policies are based on federal and state laws and will be enforced.• Consumption of alcohol and/or controlled substances while on duty is prohibited.What this means: Except for prescription medications, you are not allowed to drink or take drugswhile on duty as host. Please keep in mind that even when you are off duty, that you representthe state during your stay and the impression you give our visitors reflects on all of us.• Employees shall maintain a neat appearance and maintain their workplace in a clean and orderlyfashion.What this means: Since you represent the State of Missouri to many of our visitors, it is veryimportant that you are dressed and groomed appropriately. You will be issued a campgroundhost ID and some facilities may provide you with uniform items that identify you as host.Whether or not you have a uniform, your clothing must be clean, appropriate to the season, andappropriate for greeting the public. IDs should be worn at all times when you are on duty.Beyond personal appearance, your workplace also reflects on you as a state employee. Foralmost all hosts, the workplace is their RV or camper, along with the campsite they occupy.Please make sure your site is well groomed, is free of trash, etc. “Personal touches” such asplaques with your name, windchimes, etc., are allowed, but we prohibit placement of skirting orfencing around the camper or site during the summer months or on-season. Skirting is allowedonly during cold-weather months and only with permission of the facility manager.Revised 1/14/2008
