Landed on your page by chance and was thrilled to hear your take on SDC. We lived near Bentonville and went there at least twice a year. I’m not fond of amusement parks, but I adored SDC. We have moved to TX, and I so miss the Ozarks and the park. I am 100% certain that Covid is what tainted your stay there. I hope you go back because it is so much fun and a truly happy place!
Thank you for sharing your experiences. I’ve been on a path to start work camping but all I hear and see are jobs for campground hosts. The jobs you have found are much more to my interests. I’m starting out this January in Quartzite. Super grateful for your time and info.
I’m a new subscriber. I was drawn to your videos specifically because you are a workamper and travel the US. I’ll be joining you in 2 years, first, I have to finish working in the rat race! 😀 thanks for all the detailed info and personal comments.
It’s SUCH a beautiful park. I was out there in October - stayed at the campground in my RV and did some Drone video for the park! There’s drone footage on my channel if you want to check it out. I LOVE the park, and in fall its gorgeous....GORGEOUS. Easily my favorite park in the country. Hoping to be back next year to do some more video for the park!
I have no idea why you only have 324 subscribers, your videos are super informative and well done. You should reach out to Chrome @VanCityVanlife, he's awesome about helping promote smaller CZcamsrs. My only constructive criticism is to maybe pick up a cheap (under $80)good lightweight tripod, like a Manfrotto. Something with a ball head or pistol grip. it will allow you to better frame yourself in the videos. Also helpful for landscape and timelapse photograpy on your travels. Check out Slim Potatohead's channel for an example of good, many simple, implementations of framing and video technique. Oh, and intersperse some images from your job (if allowed) to give us even more context. Safe & happy travels!
Thanks for subscribing and watching and fir the info. I really enjoy making the videos and I hope it helps anyone thinking if living this life or workamping. I'm glad you enjoy them and thanks for the compliment. 😀
Thank you Barbara. I'm truly blessed to be able to travel our beautiful country and have someone else pay for it with just a little bit of work and effort on my part. It's been over 4 years now and I've just scratched the surface. If I'm ever in your area let me know I love meeting all my new friends and follower's. 😀😀
Hey Larry, Great information about working at Silver Dollar City. Do they have a cafeteria/break area for employees? Are you headed S/W after your gig there? Sounds like a really fun place to stay with all the amenities in the area. See you down the road.
I forgot to mention that but yes a nice cafeteria with inexpensive food fir employees plus a 40% discount at food stands if you want that. I’m heading to Florida next. Safe travels 😀
Interesting place. I’d be interested to know if it’s limited to 40 hrs, or if since you are working 12’s your picking up some overtime. Thanks for posting. Subbed.
Thanks so much for watching and subscribing. At this time they are allowing as many hours as you want. Most the kids were working open to close most days. Just nott sure if the pay rate for overtime hours. 😀
Thanks for the info Larry! Looks like you are doing well! What months are you working there? Did you have to commit for a certain amount of time? That maybe something we would do in the fall or spring around our summer job. Thanks
Great video today! Enjoy your time.

Thank you 😊
You did a great job giving all of the information about Silver Dollar City, sounds like a cool place. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you. Safe travels 😀

It does sound like fun but those hours! Shades of Adventureland...asst. mgr.! Lol! I always enjoy your videos Larry. 😊
Thank you. Be safe 😀
Also, no pumpkins and trees for us this year either!
I had to look up the term “workamping” how fascinating.

Must visit Top of the Rock Ridgedale, Mo and Dogwood Canyon nature park just 20min drive south of Branson.
I've done them both and posted photos on my Instagram. 😀

I only committed for the months of October and November because I need to be in Florida for my next gig. Safe travels 😀
what parks would you recommend?
If you are referring to rv parks I would recommend Blue Mountain and Lakeview Campground
how did you get info about the job
I heard about it from some friends who have worked here in the past but I think they might advertise in Workamper News as well.
open all year?
They are open till January 2nd then reopen in April. 😀
