There are probably more workampers working at campground jobs than any other venue. The overwhelming number of help wanted postings are for campground work. In a lot of cases, one spouse, usually the wife, works at the desk/campstore taking reservations and answering the phone. The other works maintenance and grounds. There are many other possible …
We got some great workamping tips after were able to interview the manager at our last campground job and there is some real gold in this interview from the perspective of the employer. They had worked very hard at selecting their workcamping team, and they looked at over 5000 applications. Here are some of the …

We have great Health Insurance. Since we hit the road in 2005 Kathy has had two surgeries and I have had one. I was hospitalized for four days in Florida with a still unknown virus. If we had not possessed good insurance, our life on the road would have been over. I am retired from …
