Hi every one, working towards full but will need jobs. I was a park ranger fo many years and have experience running a camp ground. My wife and I are a great team and we love meeting and helping people. With that said we are a little nervous. I need experienced feedback. Thanks Evan

I would suggest www.volunteer.gov. With your experience, those places should be knocking on your door. We've had great success in finding the idea workamping job for us and we only apply to the organizations that pay a stipend. There are gate attendant jobs available with the Corp of Eng. that pay well, but you'll earn it with long hours.
I have a friend who works as a contractor for the USFS. His job is to find and hire camp hosts. PM me for info.
The experience will come as you go thru the process of searching. So jump into it.

If you want something within your area of expertise, state and federal campgrounds are always looking for help. If you want fun and exciting opportunities you can have a great time working for Disney or at Training Camps for Major League Baseball or at an International Speedway. No need to limit yourself to RV Parks, there are thousands of opportunities for seasonal work and play. The point is to ENJOY!

You sound perfect for workamping as camp hosts. We use workamper.com and have never had a problem finding work.

Sounds like you have a great background. I think the keys to getting a workamping position are flexibility and good attitude. I've received an offer for every workamping job I've applied to. Some have been better than others, but I just figure it's part of the learning curve.
