With the rise of glamping and other high-end, not-at-all-roughing-it experiences, our concept of camping has changed a lot. But there are some people who genuinely enjoy going through all the hassle of setting up a tent for the night (or a few nights), unrolling a sleeping bag, and sleeping on the ground. If you fall into that category, you may be interested in a temporary position that pays $1,500 for three nights of camping. Here’s what to know.
