The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is offering an exciting opportunity for those looking to live and work in beautiful public land settings in Northern California.
The BLM is seeking volunteers for four camp host positions in the region, providing an incredible opportunity to enjoy the great outdoors while helping maintain and improve the facilities.
The positions are located in eastern Shasta County and Trinity County, and offer an incredible array of outdoor activities for visitors. In Shasta County, the BLM needs a host at the Pit River Campground, an eight-site facility that includes a day-use area.
The campground features a kayak launch site, swimming access, and fishing pier accessible for persons with disabilities. In Trinity County, campground hosts are needed for the Douglas City, Junction City, and Steel Bridge campgrounds, all along the Trinity River.
Douglas City, popular with anglers and boaters, has 23 tent and trailer campsites, showers, and vault toilets. Junction City has 21 tent/trailer sites and offers potable water and vault toilets. The Steel Bridge facility has 13 tent/trailer sites and is popular with anglers and boaters, with access to rapids popular with white water rafting and kayaking enthusiasts.
The BLM provides the hosts with hookups and a small stipend to help with living expenses, and the hosts greet visitors and provide information, as well as completing light maintenance. The camping season runs from mid-April through mid-November or slightly later, depending on the weather.
Living on-site in their own campers or recreational vehicles, the hosts will enjoy the stunning natural beauty of the Northern California region, while engaging with visitors and helping to maintain the facilities. This is an excellent opportunity for anyone who loves the outdoors and is looking to make a meaningful contribution to public lands.
For those interested in the Pit River Campground position, they can contact the BLM Applegate Field Office at 530-233-4666 or email Elias Flores at [email protected].
Information on the Trinity River sites is available from the Redding Field Office at 530-224-2100, or by emailing David Byers at [email protected].
