What are workamping jobs in Montana? Workamping jobs in Montana 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 49 open positions in Montana.
Montana is a marquee summer workamping state, framed by two of the country's greatest national parks. Camp host and RV jobs concentrate around Glacier National Park and the Flathead Lake region in the northwest, the Yellowstone gateway towns of West Yellowstone and Gardiner in the south, and the national forests and blue-ribbon trout rivers in between. Employers include concessioners, the Forest Service, state parks, and private resorts that hire for a short, intense season from June through September. Most positions provide a full-hookup site plus hourly pay, since housing is scarce and demand is high. Cool air, big skies, and world-class scenery make Montana a dream posting, but the best Glacier and Yellowstone jobs fill by late winter, so apply early and plan your route.
49 workamping opportunities in Montana — 5 paid jobs, 20 unpaid Volunteer.gov positions and 24 volunteer opportunities.
