Host Program

Our Volunteer Park Host Program offers a free recreational vehicle site in exchange for approximately 20 hours per week of park-related work. We have hosts in both our overnight camping parks, as well as several day-use parks. Our host program operates on a year round basis.

Park Host contracts generally run for 90 days with the potential of two 90-day renewals, for a total not to exceed 270 days within a one-year period. Individuals can reapply for a Host position after 3 consecutive months.

The tasks that our hosts perform vary from park to park, depending upon the specific need of that park.
