So if I do this I need to make sure that I can make enough to get by. Right now I just need to know what others KNOW not think!
Bottom line is you can't make sure. Working at campgrounds is not 'guaranteed' work. You might reach an agreement with a campground only to be told 1 week before your start date that you're no longer needed. Or you might get there and find out that hours or conditions have suddenly changed.
Maybe not very different than the 'rat race' but at least you didn't have to drive halfway across the country for your 'rat race' job.
As a single workamper who's not yet SS eligible, I can tell you it's tough. Fortunately I have a small military retirement check and military health care. Without those 2 I wouldn't be able to make it.
If I could find jobs like the sugar beet harvest and Amazon year round, it would be much easier financially.
