What are workamping jobs in Virginia? Workamping jobs in Virginia 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 89 open positions in Virginia.
Virginia gives workampers a long, scenic season stretching from the Atlantic to the Blue Ridge. Camp host and RV jobs cluster around Shenandoah National Park and the Skyline Drive, the Chesapeake Bay and Virginia Beach coast, and the lakes and state parks of the interior. Employers include the Park Service, an excellent state-park system, Corps of Engineers lakes, and private resorts, hiring from spring through the brilliant fall foliage. Most positions provide a full-hookup site for gatehouse, store, or grounds hours, frequently with hourly pay. Mild mountain summers, warm coastal shoulder seasons, and a deep well of history make Virginia a flexible, rewarding posting where workampers can stay busy from early spring through late autumn without straying far from either beach or mountains.
89 workamping opportunities in Virginia — 13 paid jobs, 63 unpaid Volunteer.gov positions and 13 volunteer opportunities.
