What are workamping jobs in Pennsylvania? Workamping jobs in Pennsylvania 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 32 open positions in Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania offers one of the richest workamping markets in the Northeast, anchored by an enormous network of state forests and parks. Camp host and RV jobs cluster in the Pocono Mountains, the Allegheny National Forest and Pennsylvania Wilds in the north-central region, and the lakes and ridges near Pittsburgh and the Laurel Highlands. Employers include a deep state-park system, the Forest Service, and a strong bench of private family resorts that hire from spring through the brilliant fall foliage, peaking in summer. Most positions trade gatehouse, store, or grounds hours for a campsite, often with hourly pay. Abundant public land, central East Coast access, and a long, comfortable season make Pennsylvania a productive and welcoming base for workampers of all experience levels.
32 workamping opportunities in Pennsylvania — 7 paid jobs, 16 unpaid Volunteer.gov positions and 9 volunteer opportunities.
