Counts of listings on the HitchPath job board — camp host listings, RV site included roles, hourly/annual-pay and volunteer listings, employer groups, and state-level breakdowns. These figures describe HitchPath's own listings, not the whole workamping market.

By listing count the largest groups are National Park Service (502, 47%), Private RV Park category (private, KOA or resort employer type) (178, 17%), KOA Campgrounds (155, 14%). Groups are matched on employer or title text and overlap, so shares do not sum to 100%. This describes HitchPath's listings, not the whole market.

Listings in all 50 US states. This snapshot has at least one active listing in all 50 US states, ranging from 83 listings in Texas downward.
These figures count listings on HitchPath's own job board. They are not a survey of the workamping industry and do not estimate the whole market.
Sources in this snapshot: Volunteer.gov feed (788), KOA campground listings (156), Manually curated listings (95), Employer-posted listings (22), USAJOBS (9).
Figures were calculated on October 26, 2026, 20:03 UTC and are fixed until the site is next rebuilt and published. They are not continuously live.
As of the October 26, 2026, 20:03 UTC snapshot, HitchPath's job board had 1,070 active, non-expired listings (paid, volunteer and unclassified compensation) in all 50 US states. This counts HitchPath's own listings only and is not a count of all workamping jobs in the market.
The top five locations by listing count in this snapshot (US states and the District of Columbia) are: Texas (83), District of Columbia (79), California (73), North Carolina (52), Virginia (52). Geography follows the location stored on each listing and may reflect incomplete or incorrectly mapped source data.
173 listings (16% of 1,070) are marked as including an RV site. Of those, 15 (9%) have an hourly or annual pay type and 157 (91%) have a volunteer pay type; 1 has neither classification. A listing's RV-site flag does not describe hookups or cost.
273 listings have an hourly or annual pay type and 790 have a volunteer pay type. The remaining 7 have neither; they are not counted as unpaid. Pay type is a classification, not a verified compensation arrangement: 249 listings carry the "Paid Job" tag, 16 of those have a different pay type and 40 listings with an hourly or annual pay type lack the tag. Volunteer placements may describe a campsite, utilities or an allowance; see each listing for details.
By listing count, the largest employer groups are National Park Service (502, 47% of listings), Private RV Park category (private, KOA or resort employer type) (178, 17% of listings), KOA Campgrounds (155, 14% of listings). Groups are matched on employer or title text and can overlap, so they do not sum to the total.
54 listings carry the Stipend / Allowance tag. The tag does not state an amount or schedule, and a listing can be both a volunteer placement and carry a stipend tag.
173 listings (16% of 1,070) are marked as including an RV site. Of those, 15 (9%) have an hourly or annual pay type and 157 (91%) have a volunteer pay type; 1 has neither classification.
870 listings are tagged Federal. 82 of them have an hourly or annual pay type; the rest have a volunteer pay type or none. Counting the "Paid Job" tag instead would give a different number (see the paid-versus-volunteer answer above).
Counting listings that match the job board's Camp Host filter, the states with the most are: Texas (19), Arkansas (16), California (12), North Carolina (12), Virginia (9).
178 listings fall in the job board's Private RV Park category (employer type private, KOA or resort; employer-posted listings are classed private). 155 of all listings have a KOA employer name; KOA listings are part of the Private RV Park category, so the two counts overlap. This is a count of HitchPath listings, not of private RV parks or of all private campground jobs.
In this snapshot, all 50 US states had at least one active HitchPath listing. Listing volume varies widely by state and changes as listings are added and expire.
This snapshot's listings come from: Volunteer.gov feed (788), KOA campground listings (156), Manually curated listings (95), Employer-posted listings (22), USAJOBS (9). Employer-posted listings are counted only when approved and not expired. See the methodology section for eligibility and counting rules.

Sorted by total active listings, descending. Rows are US states and the District of Columbia (DC); DC is not counted in the US states total. Geography follows the location stored on each listing and may reflect incomplete or incorrectly mapped source data.
General seasonal context (editorial; not calculated from the figures above): federal campground host positions typically open for spring and summer recruitment (March–May), with fall closings in October–November. Private campground and KOA positions tend to hire year-round in warm-weather states, while northern and high-elevation locations follow strict seasonal windows.
As HitchPath collects additional historical listing data over time, month-by-month hiring trend charts will appear here.
HitchPath is preparing its first annual workamping industry report — a comprehensive analysis covering hiring trends, employer demand, compensation benchmarks, state-by-state analysis, and seasonal patterns. The report will be freely available to RVers, employers, journalists, and researchers.
The report will include: job listing data by state, paid vs. volunteer compensation analysis, top employer types and hiring patterns, and RV site inclusion rates by region. Sign up for the newsletter to be notified when it is ready.
