SUSANVILLE, Calif.  – The Bureau of Land Management is hosting opportunities to live and work as volunteer camp hosts at beautiful Eagle Lake and along the Bizz Johnson National Recreation Trail, both in Lassen County, California.

At the North Eagle Lake Campground, the host provides visitor information and performs light maintenance at a 20-site campground and along a mile-and-a-half-long area of primitive dispersed shoreline camping at Rocky Point. Eagle Lake is a renowned fishing destination.

Near Susanville, the host at the Hobo Camp Trailhead for the Bizz Johnson Trail provides visitor information and performs light maintenance at a picnic area adjacent to the trail and at Susan River access areas.  The area is popular for walking, running, hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding.  People also visit for trout fishing, swimming and picnicking.

In both locations the BLM provides a campsite with power, water and sewer hookups.  The BLM pays a small stipend to help offset living expenses. The hosts work a season beginning in May and ending in mid November, weather depending.

Anyone interested should contact BLM Outdoor Recreation Planner Stan Bales at 530-252-5311, or by email at sbales@blm.gov.
