These roles, often referred to as RV resort campground jobs, are perfect for those who love the outdoors and thrive in social environments. Explore our listings to find your next adventure in the great outdoors.

If you live on the road, work camping is how you turn a campground into a paycheck and a place to park. Private campgrounds, RV resorts, marinas, park concessionaires, amusement parks and even some farms hire couples who bring their own rig and stay for a season or longer.

The work is as varied as the campgrounds. Couples often staff the registration office and camp store, escort guests to their sites, clean restrooms and cabins, mow, pick up trash, run activities or handle light maintenance on water and electric hookups. A common split is one partner in the office and one on the grounds, but many parks rotate duties.

Arrangements differ a lot, so read each listing closely. Some employers pay for every hour worked and include a site. Others provide a free site in exchange for a set number of hours each week, then pay for any extra hours. Many include full hookups, while some offer partial hookups or charge for electricity. Laundry, propane discounts and Wi-Fi are common extras.

Make each application easy to say yes to. When you apply, mention your rig type and length, the dates you're available, the regions you'd like to work in, and skills like point-of-sale systems, golf cart driving or basic plumbing. Plenty of couples follow the seasons, north in summer and south in winter, and plan their next gig months in advance.

What is work camping?

Work camping, sometimes called workamping, means living in your RV at a campground, park or other business and working there, usually in exchange for a site, wages or both.

Do work camping jobs pay?

Many do. Some pay hourly wages plus a free site, some trade a site for a set number of hours, and some combine the two. Each listing should explain the arrangement.

Many hire well before the season starts. Summer positions are often posted in winter and spring, and Sun Belt winter positions in late summer and fall.
