What are workamping jobs in New York? Workamping jobs in New York 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 50 open positions in New York.
New York is a heavyweight summer workamping state thanks to its enormous Adirondack and Catskill parks, the Finger Lakes, and the draw of Niagara Falls. Camp host and RV jobs concentrate in the Adirondacks around Lake George and Lake Placid, the wine-country Finger Lakes, the western gateway near Niagara, and the Long Island and Hudson Valley campgrounds. Employers include an extensive state-park system, the Forest Service, and private resorts, hiring from late spring through the brilliant fall foliage. Most positions provide a campsite in exchange for gatehouse, store, or grounds hours, often with hourly pay. Cool summers, vast public land, and a packed tourism calendar make New York a productive posting, but the marquee Adirondack and Niagara gigs fill early, so apply ahead.
50 workamping opportunities in New York — 15 paid jobs, 30 unpaid Volunteer.gov positions and 5 volunteer opportunities.
