Wow, we are so excited to have our first workamping gig lined up! We have accepted positions at Welaka Lodge & Resort in Welaka, Florida. This looks like a beautiful, quiet riverfront campground. It is located in northern Florida, right on the St. Johns River, across from the Ocala National Forest.
We’ve always hoped to find a place a bit ‘off the beaten path’ with a real sense of community. Candi interviewed with Becky, their Manager, and this sounds ideal! Everything we hoped for! They’re in a small town where you can bike down the road into town and folks will wave to you. A small community, yet ‘big city’ is not so far away as to be unreachable.
So here it is, now it’s real. We have a deadline and goal. No more gray areas for us! Full Time RV living here we come!
From their website:
If I could have, to hold forever, one brief place and time of beauty, I think I might choose the night on that high lonely bank above the St. Johns River. –

Boy that was quick.
We’ve been planning this for years actually. We’ve been studying multiple websites for a long time and preparing, then started actively seeking positions about a month ago.
Wow! So glad for you two starting a new journey in your lives.
Thanks Danielle! We are so excited.
So cool. Any time you want to head to the PNW, it will be good to see you. Enjoy this next adventure.
We will definitely look you two up – and we do eventually intend to get up that way! -Candi & Mike
I just looked on the the Facebook page of the Waleka lodge and resort. It looks like a great place.
