Trying to get a sense of things....

I need help! I am thinking about the workamping life style. ( in about 5 years ) I am searching for rv parks and rates to get ideas and costs. I am having no problems finding the bigger rv parks that have way to much stuff for what I my needs are. I just need basic hookups and laundry. I don't need the big fancy clubhouse, swimming pool, etc. I would be sitting for a 2 month spell, then free to travel anywhere for a month and then have to find another place for a 2 month spell.

The 2 month portion would most likely be near or in larger cities...the month off I can go anywhere.

Does anyone have an idea of what links I might be looking for?

Also, what about these memberships and stuff?

I have done some traveling over the years past on motorcycle and out of desperation on a long haul I would find a quaint little park that just had the basics. This was many years ago and all I did was tent camping. I can remember these places but not the actual names of them. I didn't know that many years later I would need to refer to them. I didn't care what they had either...I just remember now that these type of parks existed and would like to research them now.

Any help would be appreciated! :)
  • Here are some sites I have from several years ago, some of them may no longer be good. If you go to volunteer.gov and submit your application it will be sent out to several federal agencies in all states you are available to volunteer.

    I have volunteered for USACE and New Mexico State Parks and thoroughly enjoyed both. I wish you luck in finding volunteer positions when you are ready. Sara
  • I've done workamping and had good and bad experiences. That is the way you learn. As to finding links that advertise workamping situations, find Facebook groups and visit Google. There are a lot of FREE good sites. It is not necessary to pay to belong to any site and/or group that advertises workamping. My best advice to you now is for you to do the research at the places I've mentioned. You'll learn best and remember best when you do the legwork. Good Luck!
