What are workamping jobs in Nevada? Workamping jobs in Nevada 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 34 open positions in Nevada.
Nevada gives workampers a two-season market split between desert winters and mountain summers. Around Las Vegas, Lake Mead, and the Valley of Fire, private RV resorts staff up from fall through spring to serve snowbirds escaping the cold. In the high country around Lake Tahoe, Great Basin National Park, and the Sierra forests of the west, the season flips to summer. Employers include private resorts, the Forest Service, and state parks, most trading gatehouse, activities, or grounds hours for a full-hookup site, frequently with hourly pay. Wide-open public land also makes Nevada a boondocking and host-volunteer haven. With mild desert winters and cool alpine summers within a few hours' drive, a workamper can chase comfortable weather across the state nearly year-round.
34 workamping opportunities in Nevada — 2 paid jobs, 20 unpaid Volunteer.gov positions and 12 volunteer opportunities.
