Ellacoya State Park

Many campgrounds, and possibly Ellacoya, use "workkampers". These are folks that pickup the grounds, clean toilets, man the office and other things. They work x hours per week in exchange for a space.

FLL, the campgrounds you list say nothing about electricity, water, and sewer hookups. Perhaps while you are stuck in Waterville Valley, you can check out the campground there and report back to us.

Well this morning there are 4 RV's in the park, so that's good news. Probably here for NASCAR. Yesterday afternoon there were at least two State vehicles parked at the Park offices.

Many state parks here in Texas use "Park Hosts". The Park Host does some light maintanence, patrols the grounds etc in exchange for a free camping sight. Most live in the campgrounds year round.
