I had a paid position with them last summer but I met many camp hosts at various CA parks. They were having a great time. Check it out. Jim; ▶ Reply to This

Volunteers were required to work 24 hours a week with free hook-ups. It's a great job and you have time to work a P/T job in town if you want/need. Volunteer.gov is where I found that job- hundreds listed on that website. Good Luck- Julie; ▶ Reply to This

A minimum stay of 30 days is requested although some stay all summer, from April 15 through November 1st. Camping is free in exchange for hosting.
