We are looking at applying to Amazon in Nevada for next fall. Has anyone worked in the Nevada location and if so what camp grounds did they use and what were the conditions like. We are considering Nevada as it will be close to Quartzite where we want to winter.

Les, are you on Facebook? There is an Amazon Camperforce page there where there is a lot of discussion about the campgrounds and conditions at the various sites. Also you could post your question there and you would get a number of responses I'm sure. :)

Vegas?

Oasis is nice here.. stayed in it a few months before.. was about $700 / mo

Amazon is in Fernley Nevada, somewhat close to Reno, and much colder than Vegas.

Oh.. I know they have a huge warehouse here, too..

Amazon's HQ is in Seattle WA. But they have warehouses in many places around the country. At some of their warehouses they hire RVers for seasonal or temporary help. It is warehouse work, physically demanding. Three warehouse locations where I know they hire RVers are Fernley NV, Coffeeville KS and Campbellsville KY.

Here is the facebook link for the Vegas one..

Good luck..

We stopped for one night last (unexpectedly due to wind) Sept in Fernley NV at the Desert Rose (used our PA discount) and talked to a few locals about their Amazon jobs. They were already complaining of the constant wind and cold temps and that was in mid-Sept. The RV park itself seemed pretty reasonable without a lot of frills. Laundry facilities were clean. Not sure I would want to winter there, especially when getting out of there after the holiday season would mean crossing a pass or two to get further south. Donner Pass on I-80 had chains required the night we stopped in Fernley, that and the horrible winds were our reason for stopping for one night, the next day was clear sailing but I certainly wasn't expecting chains required in mid-Sept.

Check out Vegas.. Best weather in the country in the winter. in my opinion. Go up on the mountain if you want snow..

They must pay better than 12.50 up in Fernley ?

Thanks folks for the info. Jessica we are not on Facebook but Sue has been signed up for the Camper force updates. One of items we were hoping to get info on is if you pay for electric at the Fernley sites or if it is included in the package. Looks like you need to commit early for Fernley.

Thanks Jessica. With that in mind does anyone have a idea cost per kilowatt is for that area? We like plan all of our costs/ expenses so their is no surprises and we can make educated decisions as to where to workamp.

They do not cover electric in Fernley, and none of the locations pay for propane. Also note that RV parking in Fernley is extremely limited, Sparks and Reno are about 30 miles away. We may try to get into Fernley next year as it's closer to us in California. We did Sep-Nov 2009 and Apr-Oct 2013 in Kansas.
