Park Host Volunteers are needed for a minimum of a three-month term. Park hosts duties include opening the park entrance gate and securing the gate at closing, conducting periodic walkthroughs of the park, greeting the public, and answering questions. Park hosts do not enforce regulations. During the weekends we ask for park host support in operating our Visitor Center from 10am -2pm.

Park Hosts play a vital role in enhancing visitor’s experiences. We require a minimum of a 20-hour weekly commitment (5 days on, 2 days off). Host’s days off are either Monday & Tuesday, Tuesday & Wednesday, or Wednesday & Thursday.

Knights Ferry Recreation Area is a popular area due to the history sparked during the Gold Rush era. During the summer months the area is very well known for picnicking, hiking, swimming, and kayaking. The fall and winter seasons offer a quieter experience with moderate to low visitation.

While this is an unpaid position, we provide our valued volunteers with a full-hookup RV sites (including electricity, water, and sewage) at no charge. Please note that Wi-Fi is not provided however, dependable cellular phone coverage is available throughout the park. The host is required to maintain a telephone at their own expense for communication purposes.

The park location is 17986 Covered Bridge RD, Oakdale, CA, 95361.
