Workamping

In  our years of fulltiming, we have volunteered  in two National Parks, worked in commercial

campgrounds near National Parks,  worked for concessionaires in the National Parks, and worked “regular” jobs while staying in Florida for the winter.    In every situation, we have worked in the “customer service” arena.   Dealing directly with the public can be challenging, but in every job so far, we have seen that 99% of the public are great folks.  And we can honestly say that we have enjoyed every job and met some great co-workers along the way.

How We Find Employment

We have found our jobs through different sources, such as Workamper News, Cool Works, word of mouth, current employers, etc.  Full time seasonal positions are available throughou

t the country in and around our National Parks and other recreation areas.   We have applied on-line for most of the jobs we have had.       

We enjoy spending time in the  Rockies, so we focus our job searches there.  At 8000’ above sea level, nights are cool, and days are beautiful.  There is no need to spend the summer in the heat if you don’t have to.  We move back to the central east coast of Florida for the winter because there is no need to freeze your rear end off if you don’t need to. 

Our 4-2-4-2  plan has to be flexible to some degree because of work schedules.  Sometimes it will actually be 4-1-5-2 or some other configuration of the travel time verses work time. The point is to balance it out in a way that works for you and your employers.
