Working at U.S. National Parks for retirees

Getting a job at a National Park can be a very realistic way to defray some of your costs while living and enjoying the sights at beautiful locations around America.  Most of the jobs are basic to the hospitality industry: waiter, bartender, front desk clerk, etc. There are also some behind the scenes jobs such as inventory clerk.  

Keep in mind that if you will be applying for a federal government job in order to work for the National Park Service. You may also be able to work at National Parks by applying for jobs with companies that provide services to the NPS. 

And, you can work as an NPS Volunteer, where your only pay is free housing, most commonly parking space for your RV at no charge.  It can be a great deal of fun! 

These jobs are usually short term, lasting only for as long as the high season. You can, however, move from National Park to National Park and work almost year 'round, if you wish.  

Work in a gift shop in Yellowstone during summer months, then spend some time in fall at Yosemite, and move onto a job in Arizona or Florida come winter.

The best way to find a job at a National Park is to go to each individual Park website and click on "Employment Opportunities".  

Employment at resorts and State Parks

You will find similar opportunities at State Parks. There may also be part-time jobs at gift shops and restaurants nearby, but locals may beat you to the jobs.

Working at a resort, especially a glamorous or highly upscale one, may have slightly different requirements.  They may be looking for a certain type of young or elegant person for jobs with public contact. They may also hire more people from the local area.

Be aware that your competition for all these travel-related jobs include students, post-college young people, and immigrants who come into the country on special visas to work in resorts.
