I know that they used to have an Amazon Camperforce, which was when people used their campgrounds to live by the centers in the summer, and work through the warm months. I don't remember which state. We never really kept up with them.
Hubby's aunt and uncle worked there for quite a few years, living out of their camper and working all summer, then packing up and moving to live out the winter in the lower states. They made enough money to not have to work the winter months. Then they'd drive back in spring and take part-time for a while, to get back into shape. They enjoyed it, and there seemed to be a large group of regulars they saw every year that returned.
I don't know if they still do that, although they seem to have a Camperforce web site still up. And I wonder if that upped their employment numbers during the year.
