ADDRESS: Cascade Ranger District; 540 North Main Street, PO Box 696; Cascade, Idaho 83611

DEPT: Forest Service

DATES: 5/19/2023 – 8/31/2023

DESCRIPTION:

On the beautiful Cascade Ranger District, you are surrounded by mountains, rivers, wildlife, lakes, trails (motorized and non-motorized) and roughly two hours from the city of Boise. If you want to experience the small-town mountain life and atmosphere, this is the place. The Frank Church River of No Return wilderness is nearby. The South Fork of the Salmon River is known for it’s scenic beauty.

Several host sites available:

 

A free campsite will be provided for the Host(s) who must have a self-contained RV or trailer. Water will be delivered once a week to the warm springs camp host site, . A dump tank is available at the host site. There are normally electric hook-ups. Tools and supplies will be furnished by the Forest Service.

 

Warm Lake Campground is near the eastern shore of beautiful Warm Lake, at an elevation of 5,300 feet. Visitors enjoy boating, fishing, swimming, hiking and viewing local wildlife.

 

Shoreline Campground is located just across the road from beautiful Warm Lake, at an elevation of 5,300 feet. Visitors enjoy boating, fishing, swimming, hiking and viewing local wildlife.

 

A subsistence reimbursement allowance is available. Many of the campgrounds require driving on gravel roads. There is no cell phone coverage at the campsites. Boise, Cascade, Crouch, and Stanley are the closest towns for grocery shopping and resupply depending on the campground you will be working.

 

Adults are preferred, as are seniors or a family. The start and end dates of this opportunity will vary depending on weather conditions/snow.

 

DUTIES

As a Campground Host, you will typically be expected to:

  • Greet campers
  • Give directions
  • Answer questions
  • Hand out pamphlets if available
  • Help campers feel at home
  • Perform minor maintenance and inspect the campground
  • Clean and stock restrooms
  • Keep records
  • Fill out forms
  • Updating and posting reservations
  • Inform the Recreation Specialist or Recreation Technicians of needs and issues

 

A Host must work well with people, be personable and neat in appearance. Because our hosts work independently, they must know how to interact with visitors in a calm and professional manner yet know when to take steps to contact local law enforcement for additional help when a situation requires it.

 

The Host may be required to be on-site 5 days per week, especially on weekends and high-visitation holidays. A Host must generally be physically able to perform some raking, shoveling and sweeping. The most important job as a Campground Host is to provide an enjoyable camping experience for the public. The Host is the first and sometimes the only contact with campground users, though Forest Service personnel will patrol the campgrounds daily or as often as possible.
