I just found out that they are now accepting volunteer hosts applications for Payne Lake Campground at Talladega National Forest in Alabama. Length of stay is about 30 days, and you get to stay in a full hookup site for the whole time. 22012-06-28T16:16:48Ztownsbluffhttp://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/33/threadid/2542/scope/postsVolunteer Camp Host for Wildlife Management Area in GA Towns Bluff RV Park and Campground is looking for an honest, hard working, and friendly couple or single to serve as volunteer camp hosts starting immediately. We know this is short notice, but we were just informed our present hosts have to return home for an emergency. We are a small, quiet, county-maintained park located in the piney woods of South Georgia on the banks of the Altamaha River in the Bullard Creek WMA, near Hazlehurst, Georgia. We have a 25 site campground, primitive area, boat ramp, nature trails and day-use area. We offer a free hookup site with power, water, sewer, laundry, and WI-FI in exchange for a flexible 20 hours per week in host duties. Duties would include greeting and registering campers, cleaning restrooms, checking the day-use area of the park, and various others as needed. As long as your work gets done, we never count the hours. A park truck and two days off are provided. This is the perfect situation for someone who has never hosted in a RV Park or Campground. For more information about the park, visit www.townsbluffpark.com and contact park managers at 912-379-9303 or info@townsbluffpark.com, if interested. 12012-04-27T04:16:32Zmadidihttp://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/33/threadid/2138/scope/postsWe've been thinking about doing a bit of workamping during the summer and we're wondering if there are any campgrounds that allows workampers to bring their own pets and let them stay with them?52012-04-13T02:36:12Zmelissahttp://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/33/threadid/2058/scope/postsI know that this sounds like a really stupid question, but I was wondering if that is even possible? My mom has been looking things that she could do and keep her kinda busy and active. She enjoyed camping a lot when she was younger, so I figured it might be a good idea to suggest this to her. But she doesn't own an RV. 72012-03-07T02:22:38Zjeremyhttp://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/33/threadid/1929/scope/postsMy wife and I just realized that we will be getting a lot more time in our hands once our youngest son heads off for college this fall. We're thinking of using this time to try out a bit of workamping. Are there any state parks that offer workamping positions that only require one month of work? We just want to try it out and see if this is the type of retirement that will suit us.82012-01-23T03:59:12Zharoldhttp://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/33/threadid/1627/scope/postsMy wife and I decided to give workamping a try this year. One thing that we noticed is that the forms they ask us to fill up requires us to write down our age. I thought that it's illegal to ask for the age of an applicant because of the possibility of age discrimination in work. Do we really have to fill this part up or can we just leave this part blank?72012-01-24T01:47:00ZMatthewhttp://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/33/threadid/1634/scope/postsMy dad has been wanting to try workamping for some time now. The only problem is that he has yet to find a campground that would take in single workampers. Mom had passed away five years ago, so technically my dad is single. He's more fit than most 70+ year olds. The thing is, most of the campgrounds that are placing ads for workampers specifically mentioned that the openings are for couples. Quite discriminatory, don't you think?62010-05-25T21:44:18Zpadmejhttp://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/33/threadid/476/scope/postsIs it a good or bad thing if a campground has a detailed job description and requires extensive signed agreements? 102011-09-01T11:48:46ZMaggiehttp://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/33/threadid/1153/scope/postsI'm just curious. Who are more likely going to consider becoming a workamper: a male RVer, woman RVer, or are the chances just equal? 62011-01-06T16:17:38ZAlexSpearsCRThttp://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/33/threadid/675/scope/postsAnswer: A workamper is someone who has combined part-time or full-time work with RV camping. These people can be business owners, employees, or volunteers. The major benefit is to be able to pack up and move around freely, which is greatly appreciate by many avid RVers. Included with that freedom is the ability to see family regularly. Other perks include reduced expenses (such as gas and campground fees), free attraction tickets and rig hook-ups, and time for recreational activities (such as boating, fishing, and hiking.) Does the live of the workamper sound like the life for you?72011-08-09T15:26:14Zabreu88http://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/33/threadid/1103/scope/postsI love the workamper lifestyle it seems awesome. But too good to be true. Do you know any workampers? What line of work do they do? Do employers see them as an asset?32011-03-18T20:49:56ZMatthewhttp://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/33/threadid/794/scope/postsDoes anyone know how you can purchase a campground. I am myself a RVer but I would like to settle in a campground and actually run it. I am still exploring opportunities and at the very beginning of my research. I looked up on internet but I could not find any relevant answers. I am looking for a campground located in West America between 30 and 80 sites. I have funds to buy one if any is on sell. What are the main issues to consider? thank you 52011-03-23T20:53:25Zlizzpretohttp://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/33/threadid/803/scope/postswhere can I get information to know where are available jobs in campgrounds during summers?
