What are workamping jobs in Oregon? Workamping jobs in Oregon 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 60 open positions in Oregon.
Oregon is a top-tier workamping state with a season that stretches from the Pacific beaches to the Cascade peaks. Camp host and RV jobs concentrate along the spectacular Oregon Coast, around Crater Lake and the Cascade lakes near Bend, in the Columbia River Gorge, and across the national forests of the interior. Employers include the Forest Service, an outstanding state-park system, and private resorts, hiring mainly from late spring through early fall, with the mild coast extending the season. Most positions provide a full-hookup site in exchange for gatehouse, store, or grounds hours, frequently with hourly pay. Cool summers, dramatic scenery, and a deep network of public-land campgrounds make Oregon a favorite — apply early, as coastal and Crater Lake gigs are highly sought after.
