About this listen

In this episode of The Restless Nomads, Mike and Angie launch a brand-new work camping season as campground hosts at Crescent Lake in Oregon’s Deschutes National Forest. Broadcasting live from their scenic (and finally level) site, they give an unfiltered, boots-on-the-ground look at the realities of campground hosting — the perks, the pitfalls, and why they're saying no to unpaid gigs.

From comparing past hosting jobs to the must-haves for any long-term stay (spoiler: electricity is non-negotiable), they offer a wealth of insider knowledge for aspiring work campers. Learn about different campground management models, pay rates, and what not to believe during interviews.

Plus, the duo shares last-minute Memorial Day camping tips, campfire etiquette, and lesser-known seasonal gigs like oil rig gate-guarding and pumpkin patch posts. Whether you’re a full-time RVer or just RV-curious, this episode packs serious wisdom with a side of humor and honesty.
