Workamping in North Carolina 2003

We have learned about workamping and how much it doesn't pay to workamp. Workamping is working for a campground. With this you get your site and utilities for free and possibly a little bit of pay. What we got on our first and only time of workamping was a stay for 3 months with no pay. We left Maryland and headed to Jacksonville, NC. Our youngest daughter, Misti, lived there. There was a campground there but it wasn't much. A few sites and not much of an office/store but we needed some place to start getting our rv together since we left Maryland with a bunch of boxes in our rv. This also gave us time to visit with our daughter and to give her some furniture out of our rv. We also learned about fire ants. Stay away from them, they bite and they liked me. Fire ant bites can itch for months. During the 3 months of our stay in NC we were able to get our rv in order, decide on where things were going to go, how to make them permanent so that packing and repacking wasn't the answer for all our moves. We visited beaches and collected shells. We had a grand time in Jacksonville, NC. We learned that making $1.50 per hour wasn't worth workamping for and we have not workamped since.
