Has anyone workamped at this park? If so, how did you like the owners. They seem very nice over the phone and have offered us a position for the the winter. They are asking for approx. 30 hour per week for FHU. The best I can figure out on their rates are around $300 per month plus electric unless you have good work ethics. Hours seem a little excessive for the privilage of working there. The only difference is that my wife would not be in the equation and the hours required would be for my work in maintenance. Any thoughts on the hours required.
Yea, I got thoughts on that, but a lot dont want to hear it. You kidding me?
30 hours a week? I suspect their real rate is 400 per month, as that is what they were charging last year (or what they wanted from me).
Soooo 125 hours a month for , at the most 500 dollars? No thanks.
WalMart in Port Aransas pays 9.00 per hour and cant hire enough people.
If your figure of $400 is correct, and you actually work 30 hours per week, your hourly wage would be $13.33. If you are happy with that figure, the area, work and supervisors are acceptable, then it should be a good position.
Unlike the previous poster, working at WalMart for $9.00 an hour is never an option for me.
Way to many hours for the site. You are working 30 hours for a site that cost $400 per month. Figures out to be about $3.33 per hour If they supply electric you can add about .50 to .75 cents per hour. Go to the Wal-Mart for 9.00 per hour and be ahead, also will have some benefits.
Full time workampers.

I, also, agree that it is too many hours for us. 13-20 total, a week at the most, is what we will work for. $$$ after that.....

Just out of curosity (we all know you made a slight mistake), if it comes to the actual value of 3.33 per hour, is it still a good position? Would anyone clean restroo ms and do yardword, maintenance for that kind of money?
Or perhaps the question should be "SHOULD anyone clean restrooms, do yardward and maintenance for that kind of money?"
We were working 13 hours a week for our site here, which works out to min wage in ID. Min wage just went up and the hours did not go down, so they are looking for all new workampers for next year as all, yes all have said they will not work next year for less than min wage. Some of these workampers have worked at this CG for 9 years and won't work for less than min wage.

Because at $400/ month and 30hrs/ week makes 120 hrs a month, 400/120=3.33, to each their own I guess, if it is worth that to you then that is fine.

Patty, you are actually being generous. I think a month normally has 4.33 weeks. That would change your calculation to 400/130=3.08.
For me, 30 hours a week volunteering at something I truly enjoy is even pushing it, let alone just working for a site. Others may have different ideas and it may even be that the 30 hours is really 8 hours of work and 22 hours of standby. But that has to be looked at for the workers wishes as to wandering about the locale during the standby time. The key I would think is to document any assumptions back to the management. Then again, this is not a really long term commitment here if something turns out wrong.
