What are workamping jobs in Alaska? Workamping jobs in Alaska include camp host positions at state parks and national forests, volunteer host roles at BLM and Army Corps of Engineers sites, and paid seasonal positions at private RV parks and campgrounds. There are currently 23 open positions in Alaska.
Alaska is the bucket-list workamping destination, and its jobs run on a short, intense summer calendar from May through September. Camp hosts, gate attendants, and RV-park staff are in demand near Denali National Park, along the salmon-rich Kenai Peninsula, and in gateway towns like Seward, Homer, and Healy. Employers range from sprawling private RV resorts and fishing lodges to the Forest Service campgrounds of the Chugach and Tongass. Because housing is scarce and the season is brief, most positions bundle a full-hookup site, and many add strong hourly pay to offset travel. Long daylight hours mean busy shifts but unforgettable scenery. Apply early — the best Alaska summer jobs fill by late winter, and ferries and the Alcan Highway take planning to reach.
23 workamping opportunities in Alaska — 8 paid jobs, 1 unpaid Volunteer.gov position and 14 volunteer opportunities.
