Does 1.87 million acres of picture-perfect landscape sound like your kind of fun?
Our park is on just about 20 acres and has 52 rooms and 5 campsites. The park’s public spaces and amenities include a drive-in movie theater, an oversized pool + spa, an outdoor lodge with in-ground propane firepits, a General Store, a food truck, guest laundry facilities, and 2 luxury bathhouses.
We are located 2 miles west of the town of Escalante within the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument, which is nestled between Bryce Canyon National Park, Dixie National Forest, and Capitol Reef National Park, halfway down Utah’s Scenic Byway 12!
Our season starts in March and ends in October yearly.
Our staff at Ofland Escalante is what differentiates us from the rest. You are what makes this place so incredible.
Our starting pay is at least $16/hour (well over double Utah’s minimum wage!). A full-time employee can expect to work four to five 8-hour shifts a week. Uniform shirts, sweatshirts, and hats are provided.
So let us talk you out of it and tell you what’s hard!
Here’s what to expect:
Spring gets muddy and is a pretty windy season. Don’t let your socks blow away while they are hanging out to dry.
Summers are HOT, but it’s a dry heat! You’ll end some days with sweat-crusted shirts.
During monsoon season, it rains HARD once a day for 30 – 45 min. Don’t get caught!
Fall brings cold nights and mornings with freezing temperatures and lots of falling leaves. You only need a sweatshirt and a coat for the mildest season.
While we’re all on the same team, each job is a little different. Check out more about each position in the job listings.

Our employees interact with guests daily; a genuine smile and helpful attitude goes a long way in making the guest stay a special one. We like to hire mature levelheaded adults and in return do our best to provide our employees with a healthy work/life balance.
We work hard, but it is truly satisfying seeing your work come to life in the experiences our guests have with us. We care about you and this place and our ideal team members do too.
