? Becoming a KOA Work Kamper for $

Posting here thinking the workamping section has too limited views.

Becoming a KOA Work Kamper - worth the $35?

Is it any better, more convenient, easier, etc, than going to one of the online sites to find positions?

Retirement coming soon - less than 2 years - and the idea of workamping sounds real good. Just discovered that for $35 (plus tax of course) I can join the KOA Work Kampers. You don't work directly for the larger KOA organization, you basically contract with whatever KOA affiliated campground you choose to work.

    Sorry, now I understood what that $35 is for.

    That $35 seems a steal -- right off your pocket.

    Besides, I can't understand why direct won't work better unless that $35 has money-back guarantee.

    It's basically a hiring service for KOA work kampers. Doesn't look like there's any direct connection to KOA and I didn't see anywhere on their web site where they claim it's easier to get a work kamper position through them. You're paying $35 for access to their jobs database.

    Is that $35 per hour (not bad).

    Or per day (a camping host is 24 hour work even if you post on your site, OFF DUTY).
