FLORIDA PANHANDLE RV PARKS

We would like to hear from anyone that has advise to give us about workcamping. We have did it for 2 summers at the same Campground. I am finding that we should have discussed our working resposibilites & compensation in more detail. We won't work there another season. Here is what we recieved.
1. Site for 20 HRS work
2. $8.oo hour after 20 hours of worwk. We only had a E&W site, & dumped ourselves. It was a nice site.
3. 25% off store items.
4. We paid for our laundry in their coin opperated facilities that cost $1.25 for a washer & also dryers. It cost us about $10.00 plus/week.
======================================================================
I think $8.00/hr is an honest wage; what are you expecting? All the rest of it sounds to be pretty good to me, too. SO why haven't you asked the owners the reason for the discrepancy? Maybe he/she hasn't really thought about it, and was waiting for you to bring it up. (think about it!) So you worked 40/hrs a week? 20 for your site, and another 20 for your own benefit? I don't see anything wrong with that. What is your complaint? That you didn't have a full service E/W/S/ site? You got a lot of nerve to complain, when you haven't even discussed things with the owners; to see if they would be willing to make amends over these (imagined?) slights. Just because you have been there before, SO WHAT? I would hope that you could be more understanding than it appears that you are; especially with dealing with the public. JMHO No offense meant, HONEST!
