Campfield Facilities Support Associate

Snow Peak is opening its first Campfield in the USA. Located 2.5 hours from Portland, OR and 3 hours from Seattle, WA in the Pacific coastal town of Long Beach, WA, the Snow Peak Campfield is a modern reimagining of the campground experience.  

Open year-round to the public, the Campfield will offer a mix of accommodation options ranging from simple tent sites to fully outfitted glamping sites to climate-controlled, Snow Peak designed cabins. A suite of Snow Peak camping products are available for rent or purchase on-site to provide Snow Peakers the best experience possible, whether it's their first time camping or their hundredth.  

Community amenities include a modern camp store and cafe, elevated bathroom and shower facilities, and a soaking and sauna facility inspired by Japanese onsens. A physical incarnation of the Snow Peak outdoor lifestyle brand and the proof of concept for future expansion, the Campfield is one of the most immersive and experiential opportunities for Snow Peakers, and one of the most important strategic initiatives at Snow Peak USA.For more details on the Campfield, see the landing page here.
