The Almanor and Hat Creek Ranger Districts of the Lassen National Forest are seeking volunteer campground hosts for the 2019 camping season. This is a great opportunity to spend time in a wonderful location and meet fellow travelers.
A campground host is a volunteer who agrees to spend part of the year in a National Forest campground. A host helps other campers by answering questions, posting reservation information, providing information about the local area and acts as the ‘eyes and ears’ for identifying problems when Forest Service employees are not present.
Hosts may also be asked to clean and maintain the campground.
Campgrounds in need of hosts include Almanor South, Almanor North, Warner, High Bridge, Elam, Gurnsey, Silver Lake, Butte Meadows and Cherry Hill, as well as the Hat Creek Campground.
The recreation season begins in mid- May and extends through early to mid-September, as conditions allow for the Almanor sites and run mid-April through early to mid-October for Hat Creek sites.
Hosts must have a self-contained RV or trailer and a personal vehicle for transportation (tents are not acceptable). Free propane and a campsite are provided. Almanor North Campground and Gurnsey Campground have water at the host site. Almanor South and Hat Creek Campgrounds have full hookups for hosts.
For more information and an application, please contact Soai Talbot, Almanor District Lead Recreation Technician, or Stacy Kronner, Almanor District Recreation Officer at 530-258-2141.
For Hat Creek Campground information, please contact Tami Taylor, NEPA Planner, at 530-336-5521.
