What are workamping jobs in Arkansas? Workamping jobs in Arkansas 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 48 open positions in Arkansas.
Arkansas, the Natural State, offers a relaxed, scenic workamping season built around its lakes, rivers, and the Ozark and Ouachita mountains. Camp host and RV jobs concentrate at Corps of Engineers lakes like Beaver, Bull Shoals, and Greers Ferry, around Hot Springs National Park, and along the spring-fed Buffalo National River. State parks and private resorts hire from spring through fall, with peak demand May through October when boaters, anglers, and leaf-peepers fill the campgrounds. Typical arrangements provide a full-hookup site for gatehouse or grounds hours, and Corps positions are especially popular with volunteer hosts. Mild shoulder seasons and low cost of living make Arkansas a comfortable landing spot for couples and solo workampers easing into the lifestyle.
48 workamping opportunities in Arkansas — 4 paid jobs, 28 unpaid Volunteer.gov positions and 16 volunteer opportunities.
