Milner Historic Recreation Area Camp Host

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management

Milner Historic Recreation Area (MHRA) and campground is situated along the Snake River 9 miles west of Burley, Idaho. It encompasses 4.5 miles of the Oregon National Historic Trail that winds through the area and is a popular site for fishing and water sports. MHRA is host to basalt cliffs, sagebrush, and grasslands providing habitat to a variety of songbirds and waterfowl.

The MHRA has two boat ramps providing access to the Snake River, two picnic structures and 12 vault toilets. There are 26 camp sites arranged in small groups along the four miles stretch of the river. Each campsite has a picnic table and fire ring. Camp sites do not have electrical, sewer or water hookups for recreation campers. Cell reception at the campground is good and reliable, however, there is no wireless service available.

Volunteer host opportunities typically run mid-May through mid-September, with a minimum one-month commitment (three to four months preferred). Start/end dates are negotiable.

Volunteers will typically work five days a week, including weekends and holidays: 4-5 hours per day/20 hours per week. Hosts are on duty in the morning and evening, during daylight hours. Hosts are not required to stay on site during days off.

Volunteers will be reimbursed expenses not to exceed the daily camp rate (currently $24/day and reimbursements take 2-3 weeks to process). Volunteers will need a RV, 25 foot or less. Power, water, and sewer are provided at the site for camp host only.

Daily operations include:

· Representing the BLM in a friendly, courteous, and professional manner to visitors while wearing a BLM uniform.

· Conducting daily campground rounds to answer questions and share information about recreation opportunities while also encouraging compliance with BLM regulations.

· Monitoring campground sites for fee compliance and recording daily occupancy levels.

· Maintaining facilities at campgrounds, including daily restroom maintenance.

· Maintaining informational signs in and around the campground.

Camp hosts may bring personal UTV/ATV, if desired. Previous hosts have found the use of ATVs or UTVs to be helpful in performing their duties. ATVs, UTVs, and motorcycles must meet Idaho State law (must be street legal) to ride on State and federal roads.

We are looking to fill positions for the following dates: June 2025 through September 2025. Couples encouraged to apply.

Mission Statement

The Bureau of Land Management's mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations.

Description

The BLM manages 245 million acres of public lands and 700 million acres of mineral estate. These public lands and subsurface acres are integral to the lives and livelihoods of communities and families across the country. We promote multiple-use on public lands to maximize opportunities for commercial, recreational, and conservation activities. This promotes healthy and productive public lands that create jobs in local communities while supporting traditional land uses such as responsible energy development, timber harvesting, grazing, and recreation, including hunting and fishing.
