Forest Park Campground Ambassador

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: USDA Forest Service

Forest Park Campground is located 34 miles from the north end of the Greys River Road, shaded under tall pines. 13 campsites share a hand pump; vault toilets are available at both ends of the large loop. Sites accommodate trailers up to 30 feet long. Many nearby trails and forest roads are available for exploration, including several roads well suited for side-by-side trail vehicles.


This role would be that of a campground host, and the ambassador would be someone who provides visitors with responsible recreation education and keeps an eye on overall conditions. Typically, the volunteer will greet visitors and provide them with information on how to camp responsibly; respecting stay limits, remembering to put out fires, pack out trash and dispose of waste properly. Other duties include improving signage, checking fire-rings for abandoned campfires and communicating area-specific needs and issues to a Forest Service supervisor.


Candidate will need to have their own RV/trailer for this role, and the ambassador will stay in a designated campsite at Forest Park Campground for the summer (no hook-up's available.) Start and end dates are somewhat flexible. Couples are welcome to apply.
