After all the recent maintenance costs it was great to build up the bank account again while getting our campground partially reimbursed. This was HOU2’s first year with CamperForce, and it showed. I won’t go into all the gory details but it didn’t take more than a few days to determine that I wouldn’t return to this fulfillment center except in a dire emergency.
Shortly after we left, however, I saw a few posts in the Facebook Amazon Camperforce Community group about the website disappearing. I had no desire to return to Houston but there were other locations that I might have considered so I sent an email to the CamperForce address with the following question:
Some of us have noticed that the CamperForce webpage no longer exists and CamperForce doesn't even show up in google searches anymore. Is the program being disbanded? It would be nice to know now since many RVers plan their yearly travel based on work availability later in the year.
To their credit they responded within a few days (notable since I emailed on New Year’s Eve). And without further ado, here is their response:
Thanks for reaching out. This is a valid question. At this time the program is being reviewed for further seasons and a decision will be made soon.
As of 1/23/23, I’m not aware of any further announcements but any search for CamperForce only returns blog entries from people who have worked there previously. Many of us will be disappointed if the program dies an ignominious death. My personal opinion is that it’s going away because the original program manager retired about a year ago and his successors just didn’t support the program like he did.
