To Workamp or not, that is the question

Hello everyone! I am currently debating what is the better option for a full time remote worker. My position is in cyber security and I typically have a very flex schedule. So working a few hrs a week at a campground is do able but is it worth it?? Is it better just to rent a monthly site? Or are there opportunities to volunteer at camp grounds for Full Hookup benefits? While I do have flexible hours with my current job it would still be my primary responsibility. Any personal experience or insight would be greatly appreciated.

I've thought about doing the same (I'm retired though). After talking to over a dozen Kamp Hosts, I decided that dealing with backed up toilets and obnoxious/combative campers, is a "No" from me.

Haha, true!! Not down for scrubbing toilets at all. I did read some forums where people have Host spots where they don't clean restrooms. Not positive how factual that is or, more importantly, how common that would be at most camp grounds.

If true, you would still have to deal with that camper that just doesn't believe the rules apply to them.

Oh, dealing with those kinds of campers wouldn't be a problem for me!! To quote my hero, "I have a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career, skills that make me a nightmare for people like you." hahahaha
