- Finding a work camping job in the WINTER in the SOUTH is one of the biggest challenges of work camping life. Who doesn’t want to be a snowbird on Florida’s sandy beaches or enjoy the sunny desert life in Arizona for the winter? And don’t forget southern Alabama or the great state of Texas! The competition can be fierce for work camping jobs in the winter. We’re sharing some work camping hacks so YOUR snowbird dreams can still come true! Matt also takes you along on his job search in Arizona which definitely wasn’t as easy as we thought it would be! Thanks so much for watching! -Matt and Laurie

KOA has numerous locations where you can work for wages and your site is free or at least deeply discounted.
Our friends have worked at several KOA locations and have enjoyed it. We've not had the opportunity to yet but aren't opposed to it. Thank you, Robert!
Did you finally find a job?
Yes we are both working. Thank you for asking! ❤
Florida keys bridge fishing in winter is a good gig
That sounds amazing! We might need to look into that one. Thanks for watching. 😊
And everyone whining about how they can’t get any help, I believe Covid was a great excuse for operating with less employees and using it as an excuse for poor service ect. Wife is a 60 year old career Nurse, that wanted to do something different . Applied at Lowe’s and Home depot, couldn’t even get a call back. But go to the store and they are short staffed with 20 something year olds with no work ethic, and no people skills. I really believe it was age discrimination.
That is what surprised us, that every business is short staffed and says they can't get help but then you can't get a job even if you try! So sorry that happened to your wife! Was she eventually able to find something? We hope so! Thank you for watching!
It was a full time job... looking for a... full time job 😀 Glad you found one... And winters here in MI aren't that bad. 😝
It sure was! 😅We beg to differ on the MI winters! 😂Thanks so much for watching!
We're in Mesa. The 55+ resort we're at would hire you both. Let me know if you are interested. They would hire you next year too. We're coming back next winter.
Thanks so much, so kind of you! He did find a job here locally! Thank you again!
I always enjoy and look forward to your videos. I think you did what my dad taught us and that is if you look for a job like that was your job pretty soon you’ll have a job.
Thank you so much for your kind words!!! Love that your dad taught you that! I'm so thankful Matt is such a hard worker and was willing to go door-to-door until he found something! Thank you for watching! ☺
Thanks for sharing the struggles and giving good information! Did you happen to film at Martha's Gardens??
We are thankful we can share, and we really appreciate you watching and encouraging us! Yes, that was beautiful Martha's Gardens! ☺
If you have any experience running heavy equipment our Arizona local union 828 of operating engineers is looking for people. Full time however but great pay and benefits.
That's so good to know! Thank you so much for the information, really appreciate it!
I am sorry it was so hard for you to get a job and that you had to settle for less than usual.
Thank you for your kindness!
I'm honestly surprised that ut wasn't that easy to get a seasonal job in a seasonal location... but good to see the that life on the road isn't perfect, a dose of reality for me!
A dose of reality for us, too! 😂Lesson learned that we wanted to make sure and share! Thanks so much for watching!
Have you tried KOA’s? There are a ton of them in the south. We are work camping this summer at the KOA in Bar Harbor Maine, then we hope to get into one in Florida next winter. Most haven’t started posting winter positions yet.
Sounds like you guys have a great summer ahead! We look forward to visiting Bar Harbor one day! He did end up getting a job here locally which we are thankful for since I'm working for our site at our resort. Thanks so much for watching and sharing that idea!
