Volunteer Camphost Opportunities Across The United States and Canada

Perhaps you've saved enough money to putter around the country for a few weeks or months in your RV. What if you could extend that to a few months or maybe a year or longer? If you live frugaly and work as a volunteer in exchange for a camp site you could spend much more of your time living in dream locations.

If you have financial resourses, but not enough to pay all those expensive campground rates, and want to travel, volunteering may be the perfect way to make your money go further. Why not spend a few hours a week working for a campsite in an exotic location you would want to visit anyway?

Volunteering as a park attendant, or doing minor maintenace, and other duties in exchange for a site may be your perfect solution. Below are a few resources to check out.

U.S. Forest Service Volunteer Opportunities

From the U.S. Forest Website:

Volunteers are the heartbeat of the Forest Service. The types of work a volunteer can perform are many and varied; the only tasks a volunteer cannot carry out are those associated with law enforcement. Your talents and skills are matched with your work preference to obtain a role that satisfies you and best fulfills the mission of the Forest Service/USDA. You may work on a part-time or full-time basis. You can participate in a one-time project or serve over several months, seasons, or year-round. The commitment you make is up to you. Training may be provided to you if your job requires it. If you are retired or have summers free, you may wish to live on a national forest while you work as a volunteer.
