When many RVers think about popular Workamping destinations, states like Arizona, Texas and Florida usually come to mind first. But for RVers looking to escape extreme summer heat, enjoy scenic landscapes and experience authentic small-town hospitality, Wisconsin deserves a much closer look.

Wisconsin offers a surprising variety of Workamping jobs for RVers, especially during the busy summer tourism season. From campground hosting and resort work to cherry harvesting, marina operations and festival staffing, the Badger State combines seasonal job opportunities with beautiful scenery and comfortable summer weather.

With such a wide variety of Workamping jobs available, RVers have the advantage of choosing between busy tourist towns, quiet forest communities, waterfront destinations or rural farmland depending on the type of experience they want.

Q: What kind, length, or age of RV do I need to be a Workamper?

A: Short answer: You need to acquire the age, type and length of RV that meets your needs - your budget, your travel style, your physical capabilities, and your living preferences.

Longer answer: There is no "right RV" for Workamping. You will be able to find an opportunity that will welcome you and your home-on-wheels. Most Employers anticipate that a Workamper will be arriving in a hard-sided RV (motorhome or trailer) that can handle the weather and environment of the location - where you can manage things like cooking for yourself and maintaining your hygiene.

Age will matter at some RV parks - if they have a 10-year rule for their customers, they may also enforce it with their Workampers. If you have an older unit, but it has been restored or maintained, often times just sending photos of your RV for prior approval will suffice.

The length of your RV may be a factor in some types of Workamper jobs. For example, some government-operated campgrounds have smaller RV sites (like 30' or less), and some national parks have too low of bridges or length-limits for the roads within their park. Just be sure to get the details on the size of the RV site and route there before accepting a position with an Employer. Some Employers have separate camping areas for their Workampers, and these RV sites may be larger than the sites available to camping guests.

Having an unconventional rig (like a tent, pop up, converted box truck, school bus, or car) will limit your opportunities, especially in commercial RV parks. However, there are plenty of opportunities for Workampers in which the type of RV does not matter. Even if you are interested only in RV parks, not all owners and managers are closed-minded on this subject. Also, in some cases, housing (like an apartment, cabin, mobile home, or dormitory) is provided.

I am speaking with Marsha Hart from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service about volunteering at a fish hatchery. Marsha is from Wolf Creek National Fish Hatchery in Jamestown, KY.

The hatchery raises nearly a million trout each year and serves as a popular attraction for campers, anglers, school groups and families.

Marsha explains how Workampers help operate the visitor center, assist guests, care for educational animals and support special events throughout the year.

She also shares why this volunteer opportunity is ideal for couples, what makes the campsites so appealing and how volunteers become an important part of the hatchery’s mission.

More importantly, you’ll learn about the flexible schedule which gives volunteers plenty of time to explore Kentucky, Tennessee and the many attractions surrounding Lake Cumberland.

If you enjoy meeting friendly people, sharing your love of the outdoors and helping visitors discover one of Kentucky’s most beautiful destinations, then this episode is for you.

REMINDER: Update your Workamping resume once you accept a job!

One of our Employer members' frustrations is contacting Workampers who are not actually available even though their resume says they are available.

Please be sure to keep your resume up-to-date! You can use the Situations Wanted section of our Resume Builder to indicate your availability for one or more time frames. Make a Situations Wanted entry inactive if you've accepted a position for the time frame you listed.

Or, toggle to hide your resume from the database if you'd rather not entertain future opportunities.

Edit or create your resume via the Resume Builder tool when logged in at Workamper.com.

Workampers who utilize our Resume Builder can have their resume working for them 24/7/365! Instead of posting to social media and having your resume post buried within a few hours or days, build your resume once and then update it as-needed to keep it in front of an invested employer audience.

How to Do the Math on a Workamping Job

Compensation may include...

- RV site
- Wages or salary
- Utilities (or an allowance of a specific amount)
- Perks (like free laundry, meals, activities, rentals, discounts)
- Bonus
- Stipend

Once you get the compensation and schedule details from the Employer, you can do the math! You'll take the value of the compensation package and divide it by the required work hours/months/season of work.

When making a decision on the opportunity, you should also consider some intangibles like:

- your desire to be at that location
- duties (how easy, moderate, or very demanding?)
- do you believe you will be happy doing the work?
- your gut feelings about the owners/managers/staff
