Living & Working in Great Places

camp workers pay

My husband and I recently applied for camp work in Florida and was surprised at what was offered us. The offer in exchange for 40 hours a week preferable year round was our rv spot plus utilites. Now if you do the math consider this resort charged $700 a month for a rv spot and about $30 for water and on average about $80 in electric our pay per hour would be around $2. How is a body to live and enjoy on $2 an hour with no income for food or other necessaries? Please anyone comment. We are new at this and need some vintage advice.

seasonal workers. Yea but that really sucks!!; ▶ Reply to This

They are probably working seasonally in or near one of the national parks...not year-round in Florida. Their deal is probably salary or hourly wage with a nominal charge for their rv space and food plan.; ▶ Reply to This
