We have a sort of update on the books we want to write and the new places we want to visit to write reviews. The state parks in Florida have some of the best places to workcamp. They have a solid program in place and very gracious and hardworking Volunteer Coordinators. With all the weird news and people taking pictures where they shouldn’t there have been problems. Some of that is false impressions by amateurs on social media. Some are even the people making a big mess when they come through the parks. Mostly, not being respectful of the environment and its residents. We have re-visited a couple of the parks closest to where we are currently living and working to get updated videos and pictures. We tried interviewing some of the workampers and park personnel but no go there. The last few places stated that we have to have permission from Tallahassee to move forward with our project.

Workamping in Lake City Florida

One of our all-time favorite places we workamped over the years was a small county park located in Lake City, Florida. It is located inside the city limits so the cellphone reception was very good and the park includes a business internet connection through Xfinity. The basic cable wasn’t all that great but it was nice to have just the same. They provide a very nice, level campsite that can accommodate almost any sized recreational vehicle/travel trailer. Yes, you must have a self-contained camper and you will need to go to one of the local laundromats to wash/dry your clothes.
We Have Opened An Online Store

Yes! We have opened an online store strictly filled with Print-On-Demand products. These are geared towards our fellow RVers that they will, hopefully, find funny, insightful, and possibly relevant for their traveling needs. We will start out slow with simple drawings, pictures from our adventures, and insightful sayings. We hope you will find something that you would really like to buy. We only get a small percentage from these products but, you know, every little bit helps these days. The printing company will take care of the merchandise, printing, packaging, and sending everything out to our customers. We create the designs and choose the colors, sizes, and pictures that we use.
Revisit Our Florida Workamping Book

We want to revisit our Florida Workamping book this post. The “Insiders Guide to Campground Hosting in Florida Parks“, is still a valid resource for anyone who wants to volunteer in our beautiful Florida public land areas. My mom and I really enjoyed our times at every one of our assignments. They all had their good and bad parts but all in all we enjoyed ourselves, got some stuff done for the rangers, and even learned a thing or two while we were there. We are not big hikers, kayakers or even environmentalist but we do enjoy the history and the quiet at most of the places were worked. We cannot stress how important it is to each of these public land areas that they have dependable, reliable, and hard-working volunteers. You DO NOT have to be handy with tools or equipment but a willingness to learn goes a long way with most of them.
Combined and Improved Site

Hello, and happy February everyone. We have combined and improved this site by adding all the posts and pages from our Southern Ladies Adventures website. We still own the domain but will not be using it for a little while. This site we have opened to the public will eventually be posting workamping reviews and information for all the volunteer workamping positions within the state of Florida on public land areas.
Volunteering in State Parks

It has been a couple of months since I have taken the time to write up posts for all of my websites. With one thing and another, I just haven’t had the time or I should say that I am not organized enough to get everything done. This weekend I wanted to encourage more people who are living full time in their RVs to consider volunteer workamping in our Florida State Parks this summer. Quite a few of my fellow RVers are being displaced in their current stopping areas and are scrambling to find a place to land for a little while. Well, I say check with your local state parks about becoming a workamper. Yes, all the state parks around the country are being closed due to this social-distancing thing but the parks still have a long list of projects that need to be done and the park rangers just can’t get to all of them. So, volunteer to help them out in exchange for a campsite!
