Typical Workamper Jobs
Now that we know what workamping is, it's time to take a look at what types of jobs an RVer might expect to find on the road.
Far and away the most advertised positions in Workamper News are with private campgrounds and RV parks. Typically, the duties for couples involve office assistance/reservations, cleaning, and general maintenance or landscaping (meaning grass cutting, weedeating, etc.)
And I will make this bold statement. If you are willing to clean bathrooms and/or do maintenance, you will always be able to find work on the road.
But there are other positions available. Though Workamper News is the foremost source for RVers, another of our favorite websites is CoolWorks.com - Jobs In Great Places.
Though CoolWorks is not geared soley toward RVers, they do advertise many positions that include RV sites. Also, they represent some concessionaires that hire employees in national parks and several other desirable locations.
Here are some examples of the jobs you might find in Workamper News or on CoolWorks.com:
