Work camping in Minnesota — common questions
What's the typical work-camping season in Minnesota?
Minnesota work-camping runs Memorial Day through late September — that's the practical camping season for the state. Peak hiring is March-April. The Boundary Waters area and the North Shore (Lake Superior) parks drive the most demand. The state ranks among the highest-volume Midwest markets despite the short season because of the sheer number of parks and lakes.
What pay range should I expect for camp jobs in Minnesota?
Pay rates for Minnesota work-camping positions cluster between $17.65/hour and $30.00/hour for most positions, based on listings currently in our database. Camp host roles that include a free RV site typically pay at the lower end. Maintenance, front-desk lead, and activities-coordinator positions pay at the higher end. Some volunteer state-park host positions trade work hours for a free full-hookup site instead of a paycheck — the site itself is often worth $600-$1,500/month in equivalent value.
Do Minnesota campgrounds typically provide an RV site?
Minnesota state park host sites are within the campground and include free camping during the host period. Many host sites have water and electric, with sewer at some locations. Private resorts in the Brainerd Lakes area and the Iron Range often include a free RV pad plus discounted meals.
Which Minnesota state parks hire work campers?
Yes — Minnesota DNR runs a campground host program requiring a minimum four-week stay, with hosts on duty 4-5 days per week including weekends and holidays. Hosts camp for free at the host site. Duties include telling campers about local points of interest, light campground maintenance, and helping with naturalist programs. Applications are accepted throughout the camping season but must arrive at least 30 days before the desired start date. Apply through dnr.state.mn.us/volunteering/stateparks/campgroundhost.html.
