Fond of the Big Sky Country? You could have a spot in a scenic Montana campground and get paid to stay there. The Bureau of Land Management wants campground hosts for this summer at several of its recreation areas. Not only do you get a free site, the BLM will pay for your propane—and give you a check. Montana camp host positions are open now.

The Bureau of Land Management Butte Field Office is looking for friendly, customer-service focused campground hosts for its beautiful recreation sites! It is recruiting for locations like Divide Bridge Campground, Clark’s Bay Day Use Area, Devil’s Elbow Campground, White Sandy Campground, Log Gulch Campground, Holter Dam Campground, and Holter Lake Campground.
The details for Montana camp hosts

Thank you, Russ and Tina! Sounds like a great opportunity for quite a few, given that they apparently need many hosts. Have a great day and safe travels!
We’ve been full time camp hosts for six years, and the absolute worst summer we have had was in one of these parks.
horrible water, no co-hosts to give us days off, rude campers, very little ranger support, hot and windy weather, etc
I’m not sure I’ll ever get my husband to work for BLM again, even though I tell him other regions may be just fine.
