What are workamping jobs in Wisconsin? Workamping jobs in Wisconsin 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 45 open positions in Wisconsin.
Wisconsin offers a water-rich Midwest workamping season anchored by the Great Lakes and its countless inland lakes. Camp host and RV jobs concentrate around the Door County peninsula, the Apostle Islands and Lake Superior shore in the north, the Wisconsin Dells, and the state forests and county lakes scattered statewide. Employers include a strong state-park system, the Forest Service, and a deep bench of private family resorts that hire from late spring through the fall color, peaking in summer. Most positions trade gatehouse, store, or grounds hours for a campsite, often with hourly pay, and the robust county-park network makes volunteer host roles plentiful. Cool lake-effect summers, friendly communities, and endless shoreline make Wisconsin a welcoming and productive posting.
45 workamping opportunities in Wisconsin — 11 paid jobs, 28 unpaid Volunteer.gov positions and 6 volunteer opportunities.
