“Secret” park, it’s a new fav

By Amy Hope | November 29, 2022

A last minute trip to an unknown place turned into one of my favorite places.  I love to go to places where you have a lot of space to yourself.  No other campers, RVs or houses.  And with an almost new moon, the sky was dark and the stargazing was amazing! Hill Country State Natural…

5 Weeks Mobile

By Amy Hope | July 13, 2022

For the last 5 weeks I’ve felt so free!!  There is a ton of flexibility park hosting, especially the parks I’ve worked.  At the same time, I LOVE having my schedule completely to myself.  That’s the main reason I left corporate in the first place.

Funny Story

Spring Birds

By Amy Hope | March 31, 2022

About 3 weeks ago, I was getting ready to head back to Houston when I noticed a bird’s nest behind the passenger seat of the Park Host ATV.  This is a couple of weeks after I pulled the startings of a nest out from the grill of my truck. Lesson learned… keep an eye out…

Ologies Podcast

By Amy Hope | February 2, 2022

Did you know that pumpkins are not vegetables?  They are berries!  A moose is a deer. Bats aren’t blind.  Leaves are red, orange and/or yellow underneath the green!  Crows have funerals.  And dogs can talk… well, kind of. 🙂 I was recently introduced to this amazing podcast called Ologies. (Thanks Kayla!!)  And since I love…
