Workamping, What is it? Why we do it?
What is it?
Workamping takes on many different faces but generally its seasonal positions that employers want to fill with temporary employees for a season. There are generally two seasons, winter and summer. We look for our winter work in the summer and our summer work in the winter. There are different types of positions but mostly in hospitality industry in some form or another. Some examples would be Hotel, Campground, Restaurant, camp counselor, ATV guide, ski guide, ski resorts to name a few. This is the work part of workamping. Although some of these employers ask for a resume it’s not your traditional resume where continuous employment is important. It’s more about your skill sets and will you honor your commitment to work whatever length of time you agree to.
The kamping part of Workamping has to do with the compensation the employer is willing to give in exchange for your labor. Again this takes on many different faces but generally the components are housing, meals, RV space, and pay for hours worked, no pay just an RV space, solely Voluntary positions. That’s why it’s important to read the Workamping ad carefully and ask a lot of questions before you accept a workamping position. Below are some resources we use to find workamping jobs:

Why we do it?
The simple answer is that it allows us to visit places we want to see, experience, and explore without spending our own money and so far we’ve put money in the bank doing it. But really the benefits are much more than financial. The RV lifestyle can easily become very sedentary and that can lead to sore muscles, stiff joints, weight gain, and fatigue. So as workampers we’re doing something good for our health, our finances, and the bonus is we meet some really nice people from all over the world.

Hello from Southeastern Utah.
We pulled into the employee campground Sunday afternoon April 1. It’s a very nice campground very level and it made for an easy setup.
Here are pictures of our first Sunset.
The next morning we were greeted by this Sunrise.
The campground is at 7700 ft elevation so were acclimating to the elevation and working full time. The people we work with are very nice and we’re enjoying ourselves. Today was our day off so we went exploring. We went less than 5 miles east of our campground and found the Mossy Cave Trail Head.

We will be posting our adventure…… so more to come….
This is really old school.
On our last visit to the Great Smokey Mountains we found this old school house which had a fenced area we thought might be a play area, but much to our surprise it was a cemetery. Also there is one random waterfall photo from this trip.
Adventure has many faces!
When traveling with a 5th wheel trailer many things can cause your heart to race. We were on our way to our next RV campground in Rock Island Tennessee when we saw the two road signs that make you think, not good “Road work ahead” and “Narrow bridge” as we came around the corner we saw the narrow bridge which we knew we would fit on, but we also notice that half of the narrow lane on the bridge was 8″ – 10″ lower than the other half so we held our breath and slowly made our way across the bridge successful. We arrived at the road for the campground and turned right onto the road and the road just disappeared, the road is to narrow to turn around so we slowly continue forward wondering what happen to the road and than we saw it, around a fairly sharp right hand turn and down about 12 feet at 8 percent grade hill. We made it down the hill (still no place to turn around) the road is a wonderful mix of dirt and gravel and narrow. Our next obstacle was a sharp left hand turn followed by a hill that is 25 or 30 feet long, with an 8 percent grade, we took a deep breath and started around the corner and up the hill we get about 1/3 of the way up and the tires on the truck start losing traction but we get to the top and realize we are on one of the roads where whats ahead is worse than what you just went through. One more steep down hill followed by a steep up hill and we arrived at the campground and than it hits us we have to do this again to get out of here.
The reviews on this campground were good but nobody mentioned the road into the campground. We did make it out ok and now I know what it feels like to have a 10,000 pound trailer push our truck down a steep hill into a sharp right-hand turn.
