In Episode 338, Dennis Tierney describes jobs at Holiday RV Park in Traverse City, MI


Listen Later

Today, we head to the shores of beautiful northern Michigan to learn about a Workamping opportunity at a family-oriented RV park and campground just six miles south of Traverse City.

Now in its sixth decade of operation, Holiday RV Park sits on 200 acres of wooded land and offers more than 220 full-hookup sites with 50-amp service. Today, I have the pleasure of interviewing General Manager Dennis Tierney.

The park boasts of its own private beach, boat launch and a rental fleet of kayaks, canoes and paddleboards.

That makes Holiday RV Park a perfect base camp for guests eager to explore nearby gems like Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, wine country and the vibrant downtown Traverse City area.

In addition to its natural beauty, the park also hosts regular events like weekly live music, food trucks on summer weekends, and even early Halloween celebrations in the fall.

Whether you’re into hiking, biking, floating down rivers or simply enjoying small-town charm, Holiday RV Park offers a scenic and active environment that guests and Workampers love.

So, if you’re looking for a Workamping job in a location packed with outdoor adventure, cultural attraction, and scenic beauty, Holiday RV Park in Traverse City, MI, might be the perfect fit.

Dennis hires between six and eight Workamper couples every year, although solo travelers and families are also welcome.

The season typically runs from mid-April through the end of October. Workamper couples generally work four days a week on the same shift and get the same three days off together, giving them consistent schedules to enjoy the region.

There are three main job categories: office staff, grounds crew and the “clean team.”

Workampers are often cross-trained, and Dennis and his team work hard to match assignments with each person’s preferences and strengths.

Everyone is paid for every hour worked, starting at $13 per hour for first-year workers and $15 for returnees. The compensation includes a full hookup RV site, electric, propane, firewood, discounts at the store and even work shirts.

What sets Holiday RV Park apart is the sense of community. There are monthly employee appreciation dinners, potlucks and opportunities to use all the park amenities – including beach access and watercraft – at no cost.

Workampers are encouraged to explore the area, from hiking and river floats to dining in Traverse City’s acclaimed restaurants. Some even help maintain fun projects like the park’s new chipping golf course.

If you’re interested in joining the team, start by visiting www.holidayparktc.com to learn more. You can email general inquiries to info @ holidayparktc.com or reach Dennis directly at dennis @ holidayparktc.com.

Interviews typically begin in early fall, with hiring completed by October for the next season.
