The Oregon Department of Forestry Recreation Team is looking for camp hosts to support operations at 8 remarkable campgrounds in the Tillamook, Clatsop, and Santiam State Forests for the 2024 season.

Campgrounds operate from May through October with flexible scheduling opportunities to include both full-season and short-season commitments.

Camp hosts are provided with:

electricity
water
firewood
septic
ODF uniforms and supplies

Hosts help with light facility maintenance, visitor information services, and provide a point of contact for visitors in case of emergency.

Camp hosts enjoy direct access to trails and other recreation areas, get to meet people from all over the world, and can spend time exploring the vast experiences and views state forests have to offer.

To learn more, please visit the ODF Volunteer Page or fill out a Volunteer Camp Host application.
