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. –

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.
