Work camping in Indiana — common questions
What's the typical work-camping season in Indiana?
Indiana work-camping runs May through October with peak demand June-August. The Indiana Dunes / Lake Michigan corridor extends into early November when fall colors attract visitors. The southern Indiana parks (around Brown County, the Hoosier National Forest) have strong fall foliage business.
What pay range should I expect for camp jobs in Indiana?
Pay rates for Indiana work-camping positions cluster between $13.66/hour and $17.95/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 Indiana campgrounds typically provide an RV site?
Indiana state park host sites include free camping during your service. Some inn-affiliated parks (the Indiana State Park Inns) hire paid seasonal staff with separate compensation structures. Private campgrounds in the Brown County area and around Indianapolis offer more cash-paying positions than the state parks themselves.
Which Indiana state parks hire work campers?
Yes — Indiana State Parks run an organized campground host program. Individual hosts contribute 22-26 hours per week; couples contribute 18-22 hours each per week. Free camping is provided during service. Most host schedules fill by early summer but waiting lists are maintained for last-minute openings.
