Couriers / courier couples / senior couples

As a courier your choice is for a versatile job. From the moment you start, the wide range of tasks will ensure time flies by. Your first task will be the preparation of the campsite.

You will then be responsible for the Dutch, Belgian, German, Austrian, Swiss, English, Danish and Polish guests. You have daily contact with the manager and reception.

The emphasis is now on service and quality. Our guests expect that their tent or caravan not only looks perfect, but is clean and complete.
