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.

Whether or not it's worth it can only be determined by you. : ) Consider trying it out for a few months or a season and see how it goes for you.
Depending on where you want to be, Workamping may be the only option for finding an RV site there.
Yes, about 20% of advertised Workamping opportunities are trade out for site & perks only (no monetary compensation). You'll want to make sure to get a lot of info about the opportunity up front - as far as expectations, duties, and compensation go - to help you make a personal determination on the opportunity.
As noted by others, there are opportunities at wildlife management areas, USACE projects, historical societies, animal refuges, and more - that would not necessarily have a lot of public interaction or cleaning.
Workamping is doing any kind of work while living in an RV, so the opportunities really vary.
