Great information. Thanks for your Navy service. AF retiree here.
Love all the details you shared. I heard topics in your video that I haven't heard in others. I saved this video for later reference. Thanks
Thank you for the great tips. We may be pursuing this type of places.
You made a good point about getting the site as a volunteer vs as a paid employee. Thanks for the information.
This is a pretty good overview of what to look out for as a work camper. I have been work camping for 5 years and this is what I think and it is just an opinion. The camp opportunity (because not all are in campgrounds) might have a job description but do not expect them to put it in writing. That would be nice but it just does not happen in most cases. They want volunteers to be flexible and do what ever they need within reason. Many if not most work campers are retirees and have some limitations and most opportunities seem to realize that. Cleaning bathrooms is a big issue in work camping and some people are not willing to do that. It may be verbal but if you have problem with that then communicate that before you accept the opportunity. If possible talk candidly to a volunteer work camper. They will usually tell you what to expect without candy coating it. Location and weather of where you would be going is important. Do you homework and make sure that it is in a place that you want to be in at that time of year.
Great video, Fair Winds RV: Unfortunately, Texas has an influx of people coming in, depending on where you are in Texas certain business owners tend to take advantage of non-residents to the area. I tend to stay away from Texas for this reason. I'm looking at work camping in the great smokies in 2025 and purchasing a piece of land nearby as my home base.
Thanks! Good details!
Great information!
Great Video, thanks.
Great info!!
Great information thank you! was the region you left around Corpus Christi-Rockport? I travel there regularly because of the Island and fishing and I know it can be challenging there? Or was it a different area?
helpful information!
Great info and insight as me and my wife are soon to start this same journey.
You should work for big name camping business like KOA first so you can learn the proper contracts and work expectations. Then you can use that as a model for the bad companies. Everyone I know that works for KOA loved their job and do it 100% of the time.
Great video
Y'all seem relatable
