Our Experience at Polson Motorcoach Resort & KOA in Montana

We worked the summer of 2024 as Front Desk and Maintenance, using the K2 system, we checked guests in and showed them to their sites. Not only at the KOA but at the Motorcoach Resort that dealt with the high-end coaches. Answered a busy phone line making reservations and answering questions about the area. The work was easy for both of us due to our vast knowledge and experience. We ended up mostly on the closing shifts which we had some adjustments to make with our sleep.

Weather was ferocious many days, too cold, way TOO WINDY, too hot, and just miserable. We hardly had any perfect weather days.

Too many rules being ignored so not to make waves and maintain a high rating. My biggest issue was dogs, they had a list of “not allowed” dogs but too often it was ignored and then offered a “Meet and Greet” option. Early in the season when I asked if Jerry was doing a meet and greet and he got hurt, would the park cover our expenses, and I was told, “No, so maybe he shouldn’t do them.” I agreed for him to NOT do any in the future.

There were great team members, and several not so great team members. We were so grateful that we worked mostly with the great ones, but during those other times, it was excruciating for us.

Our site was situated amongst the guests which for us seemed a better fit than in the Workamper area. Our only complaint was that our trailer and truck did not fit on the site due to our super slide and where we had to position our trailer, but we made it work by parking our truck offsite but nearby for most of the season.

The management, both maintenance and office were exceptional. Very professional, positive, supportive and fun.

We volunteered to help with the weekly pancake breakfast which turned out to be a blessing. We worked with the other two team members that were exceptional. It also broke the monotony of the week, and we finished by noon the day before our two days off which extended our time off.

If anyone is interested in working there, we would highly recommend, but at the same time, we would not return, mostly due to not enough places for us to explore. The only perk we received was free laundry which really added up to a lot.
