POCATELLO, ID - If you're an outdoor enthusiast looking for some adventure this summer, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) might have just what you're looking for. The BLM Pocatello Field Office is looking for three volunteer campground hosts for the Blackfoot Reservoir Campground (near Soda Springs), Maple Grove Campground and Redpoint Campground (both near the Oneida Reservoir near Preston, Idaho).
“These locations are right by the water and are great opportunities for an adventuresome person or couple with an RV,” said BLM Outdoor Recreation Planner Chuck Patterson. “We are looking for someone who would enjoy working with the public and maintaining the campground." The campground host makes visitor contacts and helps with minor maintenance like painting, cleaning, cutting weeds, and restocking permits and fee envelopes.
The BLM is seeking volunteers to live on-site from mid-May through the first part of September. The BLM will provide the selected hosts an RV camping spot of their choice within each of the campgrounds. The selected camp host will also receive a small stipend to help cover incidental expenses.
For additional information about these sites and volunteer opportunities please visit www.volunteer.gov, or contact Outdoor Recreation Planner Chuck Patterson in Pocatello at 208-478-6340.
