(UNDATED) - Indiana’s state parks are looking for volunteers to serve as campground hosts in exchange for free camping during their service.
Hosts work a minimum of 20 hours per week. The volunteer period varies at sites, based on the number of applicants and on the amount and type of work required.
Properties are looking for dedicated campers who enjoy working outdoors, with people and with DNR staff.
Properties needing volunteers for hosts are Brown County, Raccoon SRA, Pokagon and Patoka Lake. Check site availability status at a property near you. Campground hosts are also needed at State Forest campgrounds.
A complete list of site availability and detailed information about hosting duties is at stateparks.IN.gov/2404.htm or contact the property where you would like to serve as a host.
For questions contact Jody Heaston, State Parks Volunteer Coordinator, at Jheaston@dnr.in.gov.
Completion of a volunteer application is required to apply. Download a volunteer application form at stateparks.IN.gov/2443.htm.
