River Living Beats the Office Grind -- Live the Northland Life in the UP!!!

Northland Outfitters is a riverside campground tucked alongside the Manistique River. We are a Cabin and RV resort with 8 cabins and 9 RV sites, situated beautifully in a scenic river setting. Northland is also a kayak and canoe livery and services many paddling options, from day trips to multi-day overnight trips. Yacht Club Coffee and Beer is opening early summer as an exciting new addition to all that Northland Outfitters has to offer.

We are host to a world-famous piece of art on the property, made by Thomas Dambo who makes giant whimsical trolls, from recycled materials. His works are incredible and enjoyed by thousands

At Northland Outfitters, you'll wake up with fresh air and pine. You'll greet families rolling in for summer getaways. Afternoons are busy and make the days go quick. Nights wind down around a fire pit, hit the river yourself, or go out exploring what the Upper Peninsula has to offer. It's hands-on, good vibes, and you clock out with fuel in the tank. Perfect for folks who want to earn a buck while spending time in some gorgeous nature.  We are so excited to be adding the coffee shop and live music to the mix this year.

Upbeat, outdoorsy, good with people, reliable, flexible hours.

Experience in hospitality helps, but enthusiasm and attitude beat a stacked resume every time.

We have in the past, invited couples, where one of the individuals worked remotely and the other worked at the campground. We are open to this for future employees 

All applicants will have free room in board in exchange for help with some of the daily laundry. 20 minutes or so off duty work, folding sheets. This can be rotated by housemates

Employees will have their own bedroom. 2 shared bathrooms. The farmhouse is located on the property, so no commute to work.  There is a brand new kitchen and outside grill for your cooking needs. Small grocery store one block away. 

We also do occasional meals with everyone. Pizza, bbq etc. 

We have several long time employees who live locally.  Durea and Levi, the owners,  live on the property in a separate house. 

At Northland, we take care of each other. Often we watch live sports together, kayak and canoe, bbq, pontoon boating, and fishing. This year we are putting in a stage for live music. We do our best to honor a joyful work life balance. 

Northland is located in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and the UP is very big.

Luckily, we are located in the center portion. making us a great basecamp for all of the sites and activities on your off time. There is also a small grocery and vegetable stand across the street (1-2 min walk) from the campground. It is somewhere you'll need to have transportation to get out and explore. We have multiple vans, and employees are allowed to use them for short times on occasion. 

Northland's team feels like hanging out with your buds.  We try to unwind as often as possible. This includes kayaking, games, sports, movies, pontoon boats, scenic outings, food, and drinks etc. Also, we do our best to accommodate everyone's time of needs.
