What are workamping jobs in Maine? Workamping jobs in Maine 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 19 open positions in Maine.
Maine is a coveted summer workamping destination, with a short, busy season that runs from late spring through the brilliant fall foliage of October. Camp host and RV jobs concentrate around Acadia National Park and the Bar Harbor coast, the lakes and mountains near Baxter State Park and Moosehead, and the many private oceanfront campgrounds along the southern shore. Employers include state parks, private resorts, and concessioners serving hikers, lobster lovers, and leaf-peepers. Most positions provide a full-hookup site in exchange for gatehouse, store, or grounds hours, frequently with hourly pay to match the high cost of the season. Cool summers and stunning coastline make Maine a favorite, but the season is brief and the best gigs fill early, so apply well ahead.
19 workamping opportunities in Maine — 5 paid jobs, 6 unpaid Volunteer.gov positions and 8 volunteer opportunities.
