The BLM (Bureau of Land Management) needs camp hosts for five Northern California positions. Positions to fill are in Lassen and Trinity counties. In addition to a spot to park your RV, the agency is also offering small stipends to those who volunteer.
Lassen County camp hosts
In Lassen County, campground host openings are at two locations. Hobo Camp Day Use Area along the Bizz Johnson National Recreation Trail near Susanville needs one host. North Eagle Lake Campground, which includes an undeveloped lakeside camping area, also needs a camp host. The Hobo Camp area is a popular trailhead for a nationally known Rail Trail. The 20-unit North Eagle Lake Campground and nearby Rocky Point self-contained camping area are popular with visitors to the second largest natural lake in California.
Camp hosts for Trinity County
Farther west in Trinity County, campground hosts are needed for the Douglas City, Junction City, and Steel Bridge campgrounds; all are 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. It’s popular with anglers and boaters.

Camp hosts live on the sites in their own recreational vehicles. The BLM provides hookups and a small stipend to help with living expenses. The hosts greet visitors and provide information, and complete light maintenance.
The camping season runs from mid-April through mid-November or slightly later, weather depending.
Those interested in the Hobo Camp and North Eagle Lake positions should contact Stan Bales at the BLM Eagle Lake Field Office, 530-257-0456, or at sbales@blm.gov. Information on the Trinity River sites is available from the Redding Field Office, 530-224-2100, or by emailing David Byers at dbyers@blm.gov.

Thank you, Russ and Tina! This sort of thing, particularly these, are attractive, perhaps undeniably so were our parents in good health, or already passed. But they aren’t, so we can and must deny all urges to pursue such. Safe travels! 🙂
