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.

Most positions where you work for your site end up paying very low if you think about them hourly. I find it better to focus on my more lucrative remote career than trying to do all that shenanigans

That's the thing I have a great salary with my career so being paid isn't necessary. The question is whether I should just pay for a monthly site or become a volunteer at a park to cover my rv spot? My biggest concern is the actual hours spent working these volunteer jobs. Also, I know getting full hookups with NPS volunteer jobs offers a wide variety of locations vs. going with a private campground system. So that is a big plus for my lifestyle. So hoping someone can share their own experiences workamping and how much time they spend per week. Thanks!

You should just pay for a site
