PORTLAND – The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is seeking volunteers to host several recreation sites in both Oregon and Washington state. It’s an important year as the nation celebrates its 250th anniversary and the BLM turns 80.
Campground hosts offer information about recreation opportunities, answer questions about the area, and help ensure the campgrounds remain safe and clean. Light maintenance tasks are part of their daily routine.
Hosts live in the campgrounds for the duration of the season. They must provide their own self-contained RV. Volunteers may be eligible to receive a daily per diem reimbursement while at their site. Season lengths and schedules vary by location. Most positions run from late spring through early fall.
Some locations can accommodate couples who want to host together and share responsibilities. All volunteer campground hosts must complete a federal background check.
Those interested in learning more or applying should visit Home (volunteer.gov) and search either BLM Oregon or BLM Washington to view current openings.
