A host is also needed at Byington Boat Access on the South Fork of the Snake River. The fee season runs from May to September. Volunteers assist the recreation staff in upkeep of the facility and interaction with the public.
Selected volunteers would act as BLM representatives at the site, welcoming visitors and providing information. Hosts perform upkeep and maintenance of campground facilities, including cleaning and restocking restrooms, picking up litter, restocking fee envelopes at the fee stations, assisting with fee collection, cleaning ashes and trash left in fire rings, and informing the visitors of the campground rules.
BLM volunteer hosts live on site in their own campers or camp trailers. The BLM provides varying levels of services such as water, septic, phone, and power connections. There is no salary, but the BLM provides a stipend to cover living expenses.
“Campground hosts play a vital role in connecting visitors with their public lands,” said Jeremy Casterson, Upper Snake Field Manager. “They are the first line of contact for the public and improve visitor’s experience by providing information and performing upkeep of the campground.”
