A big focus that WKN has had over the last eight-or-so years is on education. It’s been proven - by others and probably in your own life - that when you’re prepared and educated, you’re more likely to succeed. And we want you to suceed at the RV lifestyle!

Although we (WKN Staff members Luke & Jody) do have some know-it-all tendencies, we actually don’t “know it all” about the RV and Workamping lifestyle. And thankfully, there’s a lot of experts out there with acquired knowledge and first-hand experience who want to share and help others.

What is Workamping

When we coined the word Workamper and made it our trademark in 1987, we had no idea that 28 years later it would be so widely used.

Nearly all RVers have at least heard the word, and most know what it means...or think they know. However, there are a few misconceptions about who Workampers are and what Workamping is.

The most common misconceptions are that Workampers are retirees who work in campgrounds, and that Workamping just means trading work for a place to park an RV.

The Workamper Pledge

The Workamping world will be a better place if you take a minute to read, think about, and follow the points on this pledge. Please take a moment to do so now.


As a Workamper I pledge that I will:

Website Growing Pains

The new website has been up for about 3 weeks now and overall, things are running pretty smoothly. But, we've had quite a few calls regarding the general use of the new website as well as reports of problems that some folks are having.  

We wanted to take a moment to touch on some of those issues and to thank you for your patience and understanding during this time of transition!

Great folks...

I have sold Andersen's RV Park in Long Beach, WA.  Wanted to tell you all how much I have appreciated your help, patience, friendliness over the years (28 years for me).

Over the years, I hired lots of Workamper hosts.  I think I had about a 95% success rate.  Great folks...the people responsible for the wonderful
reviews the park got on Trip Advisor, etc.  You (Workamper News) have created and provide an excellent service for the campground/RVing world.

My thanks and best wishes to you ALL.
