Campground hosts help National Park Service personnel ensure that campers have a safe, enjoyable visit by providing campsite guidance, informing campers about regulations, communicating campsite availability to first-come, first-served campers, and being a helpful presence in the assigned campground.
This is a full time 40-hours per week volunteer position. The incumbent must furnish his or her own trailer or RV under 40’ in length and live in the assigned campground. Tent-based hosts may be considered for short-term volunteer opportunities. Electrical, water and sewer hookups are provided free of charge, and gasoline for generator use is provided. There are showers and laundry facilities available in the park housing area near Manzanita Lake at no charge.
There is very limited cell service in Lassen Volcanic National Park, and virtually none available in the campgrounds. There are pullouts along the main park road that may offer adequate cell signal, depending on the user’s provider.
Full-time and part-time volunteers who will work outside must be identifiable to the public. Uniform consists of dark brown pants/shorts and a khaki work shirt with VIP patch sewn on the left-hand sleeve. Volunteers may obtain volunteer work shirts and hats at the volunteer cache or from the campground supervisor.
