OKed Posted February 12 Report Share Posted February 12 When we started out on the road our kids all said we would be back real soon. It's been 26 yrs full time now Is there anyone out there that manages campgrounds during the summer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiveWorkDream Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 Hi @OKed! We are going on our 17th year of being nomads, nice to meet you! When you ask about managing campgrounds, do you mean as in being a Work Camper? My husband and I don't right now, but there are lots of great resources to find manager gigs. We love Workamper News for that sort of thing, which we've done on and off over the years. If you're looking for work I suggest checking 'em out! Quote Rene & JimExploring North America since 2007.

Darryl&Rita Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 We're going on 12 years of nomadic travels. We manage a park in Alberta, Canada in the summer, and Apache Junction most winters.

jimnlin Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 Late to party... in 1996 retired with 1996 FL60 Freightliner and 1991 HH 40ft fifth. Traded trailer in 1998 for 38ft HH and began looking for ideal spot to settle. After many trips around country, nothing met desires. Wife was a programmer with Texas Instruments and while in Yuma for winter in 1999, got a call from old boss and asked her to contract to get ready for the feared 2k coming up. Got thru that and and made many SKP events. Did not do any CG gigs but managed a few self storage jobs. Still in same trailer and truck, do have a 2011 Hyundai for everyday use.

I was fortunate to have been able to retire pretty early and when we hit the road our goal was to stay fulltime for at least 15 years but my wife's health issues forced us back to part-time after 12 years.

coyote Posted February 27 Report Share Posted February 27 I retired at 38 yrs old in 1988 and the 2nd campground job was at Rainbow's End in Livingston in the fall of 1988. We have done many campground management jobs for federal, state and private over the years. Not taking any currently but still love the full-time life. It's been a good way to supplement our income.

Solo18 Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 When I started out 12 years ago, my younger son said I would die in a fiery crash 200 miles down the freeway. I told him I could keep my condo and sit in my chair watching TV for the next 20 years, and I would probably die in my chair, but that I would much prefer to actually do something with the rest of my life, so I'd take the chance of that crash.
