Man Camp Housing

Man Camps for Jobs
Past the Last Hotel.

Turnkey workforce camps for remote projects: sleeper and bunk trailers for the crew, furnished RV trailers for supervisors, plus showers, laundry, kitchen, and office units. Delivered, connected, and serviced, with one contact and one invoice.

The job is two hours from the nearest town, the motels that exist are booked through next quarter, and per diem is eating the margin. A man camp moves the beds to the job. The crew sleeps, eats, showers, and does laundry within walking distance of the work, and the hours spent driving go back into the day.

What a camp is built from

Every camp starts from the head count, the rotation, and the ground. The mix usually comes from these units:

Furnished RV trailersPrivate quarters with a kitchen, a bathroom, real beds, and heat and air. Each sleeps one to ten; bunkhouse floor plans sleep six or more.
Sleeper and bunk trailersMulti-room dorm trailers, also called sleeper, bunk, or sleep trailers, that put the bulk of a crew in beds next to the work, sized to the head count.
Shower and restroom trailersShowers, toilets, and handwashing for everyone in the camp.
Laundry trailersWashers and dryers on site, so nobody leaves camp to do laundry.
Kitchen, dining, and office unitsA place to feed the crew and a place to run the mission: dining and catering units, plus office and command trailers.

Why one invoice matters

A camp means sleeping units, shower units, laundry, food, an office, deliveries, utility connections, and service visits. On most jobs that is five vendors and five invoices. Here it is one contact and one invoice, itemized by unit and dates, billed straight to the company. Nobody on the crew files an expense report for a bed.

Since 2004

1st Choice Living has delivered and serviced crew housing nationwide since 2004. We plan placement on a site check before anything moves, scale the camp with the job, and pick everything up when it ends.

FAQ

What is a man camp?

A temporary camp that houses a workforce at or near a remote job: sleeping quarters, showers and restrooms, laundry, a place to eat, and an office. The name comes from the oil field; the same setup now houses pipeline, mining, data center, renewable energy, and industrial crews.

How big a camp can you set up?

From a few units for a small crew to a full camp. We size it from your head count and rotation, and the camp grows or shrinks as the job does, so you are not paying for empty beds.

Do crews share rooms?

That is your call. Furnished RV trailers give a foreman or a small team private quarters with their own kitchen and bathroom. Sleeper trailers (also called bunk or dorm trailers) house the bulk of a crew with shared shower and laundry trailers. Most camps mix the two.

Who handles the camp while the job runs?

We do. The camp is turnkey: one contact runs it, licensed, insured contractors complete the utility connections, and scheduled service visits keep everything working between rotations.

How is it billed?

One invoice, billed directly to the company, covering every unit, delivery, connection, and service visit. We handle the LOA, COI, and compliance paperwork your office or your client requires.
