Mount Desert Campground

03/01/2026

Have you ever thought of spending the whole summer in the campground? This could be your opportunity!

We are looking to fill our last Workamper position which is geared for a couple for the 2026 season. This position would start at the end of April/beginning of May and run through mid-October. 4 days on 3 consecutive days off. We provide you with a campsite for the whole season as well as pay for all hours worked. Approx. 25hrs per week

This position would include spring cleanup, cleaning campsites in between guests, and cleaning bathrooms, as well as some small projects throughout the season.

If you would like to join our amazing team for the summer please reach out to us via email @ [email protected].

We always have fun, and I really can’t think of a more beautiful place to spend the summer!
