I was another of those (un)? fortunate people to be laid off this year. It put me far too early into my dream job of full-timing and workkamping. I was fortunate that I was able to luck into something in July that just finished (I have a house to decide what to do with n maintenance etc.) I absolutely had a wonderful time there so I am looking to see what all is out there. Since most of the available places ask for couples... I am single... I may have my brother talked into doing it with me! *grins* I am able to do this short term without any actual money coming in for a short time but eventually I would be looking for financial income. I think the first part of next year is taken care of for now but I am trying to think ahead and look for places in advance. I have a few websites to look at but was wondering if there was any thing or place I should also check into seeing as how I have time now to pre-arrange? My ultimate goal is to go between few places so I can commit to longer times. Thanks for any suggestions!

you will likely want to look further south, not neccessarily all the way south, but to where the weather is capable to allow camping year around..also very important is look for somewhere you want to be or go or visit.......there are even a few parks that are closed in the winter but have caretakers, security or minor maintenance (like things you do around the house) people in the winter... and single or couple doesn't matter as much as some might say....get that foot in the door and show them what you can do for them and their operation and you will have your choice of locations and jobs. After a bit you will be surprised at how really similar all those jobs are....also some volunteer positions have a stipend that cover some of your expences...so with many expences covered by your services, one mostly ends up paying for food and insurances and your entertainment costs go down due to the beautiful outdoors and goofy people......have fun.
happy trails

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "longer terms" but most work-camping locations expect you to stay for the entire season if paid and for one to three months minimum if volunteer.
