What are workamping jobs in Washington? Workamping jobs in Washington 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 52 open positions in Washington.
Washington is a premier summer workamping state, framed by three national parks and a stunning coastline. Camp host and RV jobs concentrate around Olympic National Park and its rainforest and beaches, Mount Rainier, the North Cascades, and the lakes and orchards of the sunnier east near Lake Chelan. Employers include the Park Service, the Forest Service, an outstanding state-park system, and private resorts that hire mainly from late spring through early fall. Most positions provide a full-hookup site in exchange for gatehouse, store, or grounds hours, frequently with hourly pay. Cool, green summers and dramatic scenery make Washington a favorite, though the mountain season is short and the wet west keeps shoulder months quiet — apply early for the most sought-after park gigs.
52 workamping opportunities in Washington — 7 paid jobs, 24 unpaid Volunteer.gov positions and 21 volunteer opportunities.
