Campground Host

The Inyo National Forest is home to many natural wonders including Mt. Whitney, Mono Lake, Mammoth Lakes Basin, and the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest. Recreational opportunities include camping, picnicking, hiking, backpacking, mountain biking, fishing, equestrian use, and off-highway vehicle use. We are seeking campground hosts to represent the Forest Service in a professional and courteous manner. Hosts are often the first Forest Service representative that guests will encounter. They interact regularly with the public during the day and need to be available to visitors. We expect our hosts to set a positive example by maintaining a neat, clean, and organized campsite area. Serving as a campground host provides an opportunity to be immersed in one of the most quintessential recreation experiences in America. Hosts are there to explain campground rules, record occupancy, and to help keep the campground clean. The general campground host season is May 1 - October 1.
