So you just went full time and want to explore the Work Camping life. There are tons of resources available like Workers on Wheels, Facebook's workampers and of course Work Camp Connections.
It's not difficult to break in to. It can be a trail and error finding good parks. The Corps of Engineers has a volunteer section on their website, as does State Parks.
Some work camping position pay for hours worked, some are strictly volunteer and provide you will a site. Some people complain about "working for free". Not us, we are seeing the country, staying in some of the most beautiful parks there is and doing a few hours of labor. This might include cleaning sites when campers checkout, cleaning the bathrooms or working in the store.
We love work camping because it's not hard work, and keeps you busy. Always look for the bright side. Campers are vacationing, you will meet life long friends and you will work with some awesome people. Enjoy the experience. Occasionally you will end up working with "Joe I hate The World", ignore them. Do your job keep a smile on your face. It will make the exerience worthwhile.
To find a job you can sit down and call campgrounds in you area, look for postings on the above mentioned sources or us our service. We complete a profile of what abilities you have and where you would like to work. Then we send your information to the campground that matches your wants.
We do not charge the campgrounds for our service, so they like using our recommendations. For you, it's only 14.95 a year to be on file. Join to day on our secure Paypal site.
